Short answer: the Bogasing M5, if you are buying new. The Huawei Sound Joy ranks higher than it (#40 vs #61 of 177 medium speakers, 3.8/5 vs 3.5/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Bogasing M5 is still sold new at $52.99. The Huawei Sound Joy’s replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73.
What the Bogasing M5 does well: A compact, backpack friendly speaker with very long battery life and USB-C charging at a budget price. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Huawei Sound Joy lacks. The catch: Front/rear driver configuration.
The Huawei Sound Joy is the louder option. A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 100dB at full volume, against 96dB for the Bogasing M5. The tradeoff: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Bogasing M5 if you want one new; the Huawei Sound Joy is discontinued, so only look for it used.
