Smartphones have become powerful, the number of features has skyrocketed, the form factor has evolved over time - but sound output from these devices has been in stasis for most of the time.

The speaker can't play sound from both devices at once, but if you press play on phone B while phone A is playing, the speaker will switch Loudest bluetooth speaker under 100 automatically to what's playing on phone B. We've tried this feature, but in our experience, it's rarely useful and sometimes annoying.
Elsewhere, the speaker provides NFC for quick pairing, a built-in microphone for calls, accepts a microSD card and 3.5mm auxiliary input, is IPX7-rated meaning it'll survive up to 1m of submersion, has a wireless stereo function (TWS) allowing you to pair two of these in stereo and finally, features a large 6,600mAh battery that lasts up to 15hrs, which when depleted, can be charged via its modern USB Type-C port - fantastic.

You can pair your Anker Soundcore with other devices successfully even up to 66 feet (about 20 Metres), 2X longer than most of the best portable Bluetooth speakers under $100, but not as long as OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA with a 100 feet connection distance.
The speaker is IPX7 waterproof which means that it will take direct splashes of water, and is also shockproof so you don't have to worry about dropping it. You can charge this speaker via a mini USB charger - when the battery light is low it makes a notification sound and the power button lights up red to alert you.
