It can also send text messages and perform voice interactions through the voice assistant of the paired mobile phone. The Venu 2 Plus comes with an AMOLED display and has a battery life of 9 days. These are considered to be the biggest highlights of the watch. But there are many other specs that deserve our attention.

Specifically, in terms of smart voice assistants, users can use the phone’s voice assistant function to send text messages, implement voice interaction, and control compatible smart home appliances. For this, they only have to pair the watch and their smartphones. Currently, it is compatible with Siri, Xiao Ai, etc. At the same time, the new product provides many smart features on the wrist. They include offline music playback, offline payments, calls and SMS notifications, calendar reminders, social media updates, news summaries, etc.
