Not only parameters, but also more connotation - millet box 3 content evaluation

With Xiaomi's annual product update, we have also ushered in the latest generation of millet boxes3. As a millennium that beats the world with powerful performance, once a year, the product performance is greatly improved. So, when we just got the millet box 3, it was a rush to run and perform. However, when we already had a complete test report on performance, we discovered that in fact, as a mature product that has been replaced by several generations, the millet box series has already gone beyond the previous stage of cost-strengthening to better Higher levels of user experience and greater product layout advance.

If the annual performance parameters are the basis for creating an outstanding product, then the addition of various new feature points discussed below should be the team's 3 team really want to devote to the users this year. "Gifts."

Of course, before we delve deeper into the new millet box3, let's take a look at its changes in appearance.

Compared with the previous generation, the millet box 3 has almost no change in appearance design. It is still a black matte body. The moist lines make the millet box look like a black pebble, and the design can be described as relaxing. The biggest difference from previous generations is that the external excuse has been reduced to four.

Millet box 3 only retains four external interfaces for power, USB, HDMI, and AV

Although the cancellation of the cable interface will not have a great impact on the normal use of the box, even optimization in the WIFI signal also makes the millet box 3 performance in the network connection is still excellent. However, the biggest advantage of the network cable is that it can guarantee the stability of the network. Especially when the performance of routers in your home is low, packet loss (because of data loss due to router performance problems) may cause many adverse effects on online games.

The cancellation of the TF expansion slots will actually make the players who want to play games with millet a bit at a loss. After all, relatively small flash memory is difficult to install large 3D games. Take the wild car 8 as an example. The 1.4G data package cannot be installed on the millet box 3 anyway.

Combining the introduction of the CMA intelligent continuous memory allocation technology on millet box and millet box 3 homepage we saw on the hardware parameters, we can basically confirm that Xiaomi Box 3 is mainly based on the new 64-bit. The platform embraces the full embrace of 4K video playback hosted by the CPU.

Some netizens may ask, the previous generation of millet boxes also supports 4K video playback, but compared with the new millet box 3, the previous generation of millet boxes is not only used in the hardware performance but also the HDMI interface (ps: the previous generation of millet box use HDMI1.4 interface, the maximum support 4K 30 frame transmission, and millet box 3 uses the HDMI2.0 interface, 4K 60 frame transmission can be perfect for the support) are not perfect for 4K video Played. The new video format support detection software developed by Antu Bunny further validates this. The new Xiaomi Box 3 performs very well in playing the most difficult 4K full 3D video, and it supports almost all video formats. Playback.

The remote control is the biggest highlight

After talking about the host part of the millet box 3, let's take a look at the most varied remote control.

The operating logic of the remote control has changed. Now it is long press the setup button to call out the background program.

The remote control that is the interactive core of smart TV products has always been the best place to highlight Xiaomi’s practical focus on the user experience. We once compared the remote control designs of various manufacturers on the market. The remote control of Xiaomi's home has always been sought after by the users with its simple and user-friendly intuitive design.

The brand new millet Bluetooth somatosensory remote control adds two new methods of voice and somatosensory to the interaction of the remote control, and we believe that it will have a long-term impact on the development of Xiaomi's smart TV series.

About voice control

Microphone replaces the original infrared emitter

Voice manipulation is one of the best means of interaction on a big screen and has been tried for a long time, but it is really good at least. However, Xiaomi’s voice function is not radical, but it is still the simplest multimedia search. As long as you press the Home button and say the video you want to see, the system will display the most suitable resources from Xiaomi's huge video library. The success rate of recognition is very high. Compared with traditional video search methods, the experience is better. Several times.

About Somatosensory Remote Control

In order to more intuitively embody the usability of mille's Bluetooth-based somatosensory remote control, we set the experience presented by the industry's best somatosensory device manufacturers (Xbox and Sony PS) to be 100 points. The experience presented by the remote control is set at 80 points. If you want to describe it in a word, that is: It's not bad to play, but it's not fun enough.

Taking tennis games as an example, ball games require a higher degree of somatosensory accuracy. However, during the initial use of the game, it is difficult to play smoothly because of the delay and sensitivity. However, after a certain period of adaptation to the millet somatosensory remote control, the player's level can be brought into play slowly after a certain mastery of the delay and sensitivity. Perhaps it is precisely because of the need to adapt to the remote control. Games such as tennis and badminton, which require skill and agility, are very simple. As players become more familiar with the remote control and game levels, the overall difficulty of the game will gradually increase, and the playability of the game will increase accordingly.

In other games, we tested the Eagle Sky, the National Shootout, and the World 2 on the Xiaomi Box 3 respectively. As a hardware-demanding 3D game, Xiaomi Box 3 performed very well.

Small features, great wonderful - millet smart family

The new MIUI TV system brought us a whole new thinking about the smart home. For a long time in the past, many smart hardware manufacturers have put their own hardware into the phone. But as the core of smart home, Xiaomi thinks TV or TV box is more suitable as the hub of smart home control. After all, the mobile phone is a personal item, and television is the device owned by the entire family.

The smart home function demonstrated by the MIUI TV system has shown us that Xiaomi uses TV as the core to control the air purifiers, water purifiers, smart sockets and intelligent routers' operating interfaces. This means that only TVs need to be used in the future. Members can manage smart devices at home. Compared to using mobile phones as a management hub, TVs have unique advantages.

Stripping off the original “莽”, making the user experience truly become the core competitiveness of the millet box3. Richer video resources, better interaction methods, more polished function points, and deeper thinking about user needs all make Xiaomi Box 3 a more mature and better product. At the same time, we also have a higher expectation for the next generation of millet boxes. I believe that through the various new attempts of the millet box 3, the next generation of millet boxes will bring a surprisingly rapid increase.
