Nokia and JBL partner to announce PlayUp Potable speakers

Nokia has partnered with JBL (Part of the Harman group) to launch the PlayUp Portable speakers exclusively for the upcoming Lumia range of smartphones. The cylindrical wireless speakers are an evolution of the currently available Play 360 speakers offered by Nokia, but have been updated with JBL audio technology and have a new double-shot plastic exterior for extended durability.
The PlayUp Portable speakers will have an output of 89db, but along with this its frequency response will range between 85Hz-22KHz (-6db) covering a large spectrum of sound. Nokia says that it will even have up to 10 hours of battery life as the unit has a rechargeable battery unit and weighs very less.
It will sport a plethora of connectivity options including Bluetooth, NFC (For new Lumia phones), 3.5mm and micro-USB. The product will be available in traditional Nokia CMYK color scheme including Cyan, White, Black and a new Yellow model. Strangely, the Magenta model is missing.
The PlayUp Portable speakers will be available for $187 and will ship in the US by the end of the year. Unfortunately, there is no word on India pricing and availability, but we are sure Nokia will announce the product when the company launches the new Lumia range of smartphones in India.
