Inphic i5 quad-core official in-depth review, the box is also cute
|
Hello guys! I am back again! Previously, one of our foodie colleagues released a brief review of the Inphic Little Bun in advance for everyone's sake. I believe everyone must be very curious about the specific performance of this box, right? No problem, let's talk about it now. As for the appearance, although you have seen it before, I will still talk about it briefly here. This new box of Inphic is named "Little Bun". The reason for this name may be that it looks hungry. Thanks to the pure white color and semi-circular shape, the overall appearance is very small and exquisite. The green waistline at the bottom plays a good embellishment role, which also follows the consistent design of Inphic. In addition, although the box is generally placed in a fixed position for use, the author actually felt like putting it down when playing with this small box. It is very light and has a round body, and it feels very good. There is only one infrared receiver on the front The back interface, from left to right: AV interface, HDMI interface, USB interface and power interface There are heat dissipation holes and non-slip pads on the bottom, because the box is really light and it is easy to be knocked off without the pads. In addition, there are two grooves for hanging on the wall. Standard remote control. Unlike Xiaomi's concise idea, Inphic prefers the traditional set-top box remote control design, and can also learn the instructions of the TV remote control. You can use one remote control to operate both the TV and the box without having to switch back and forth between the two remote controls. The advantage of this is that most users can get started quickly, especially those who are older, but the problem is also obvious, that is, it looks too complicated. Here I will focus on the numeric keypad. Currently, you can directly enter numbers in the input box using the numeric keypad on the remote control. In some Channel switching function demonstration After talking about the appearance, let's talk about the internal hardware. Inphic Xiao Mantou uses Amlogic's S805 processor, which I have mentioned once before. It is a product specifically for the smart set-top box platform. Friends who often read our reviews must be familiar with it. Quad-core A5 architecture, with a maximum main frequency of 1.5GHz, paired with Mali-450, the overall performance is not outstanding, but it supports H.265 decoding and has a natural advantage in video playback. Considering the positioning of Xiao Mantou in the Inphic product line, such a configuration can be said to be a good combination for ordinary audio and video entertainment, with a high cost performance and in line with the positioning. The following is the Entertainment Rabbit data for reference. System Inphic Xiaomantou uses Alibaba Cloud OS, which we have seen on other platforms, so the overall style will be familiar. The main interface has seven modules, namely recommendation, film and television, shopping, games, education, applications, and tools, which covers a wide range of applications in the current TV. Home page recommendation area Here some high-quality content is recommended, including not only popular movies and TV series, but also some promotion and event information, which also reflects a major advantage of the Alibaba system - a more complete shopping experience compared to other platforms. In addition, there are many customizable shortcut program launch entrances in the Xiaomantou system, such as the lower left corner of the home page recommendation, and the hidden tray that can be called up by pressing any label on the main interface. There are similar entrances in other sections, which will be very convenient in use. In terms of video content, because of Alibaba Cloud OS, Xiao Mantou uses Wasu's content, which guarantees the types and quantity of on-demand content. Movies, TV series, variety shows, and children's programs are divided into very detailed categories, and these contents are basically free. As mentioned earlier, there is also a corresponding custom entrance in the lower left corner. On this page, we can put some Movie List Episode details, with multiple resolutions to choose from, can be collected, and also supports the selection function Play interface demonstration In addition, there is a news section on the video interface where you can view the news of the day. As mentioned above, Xiao Mantou itself does not have a live broadcast software, but the curator secretly tells you a live broadcast software called When it comes to the special features of the Alibaba Cloud system, shopping is definitely not to be left out. After all, with such a huge platform as Taobao, there is no reason to leave it unused. The first time you use it, you need to install the Taobao TV client, which is over 30M in size. The installation time depends on the network speed. Product display page. Currently, most TV platform apps are in the initial stage. The interface looks relatively basic. The selection boxes are some linearly arranged squares, which is quite Microsoft-style. However, this control method is indeed very practical. In addition, the payment function is realized by scanning the QR code with Alipay on the mobile phone. In fact, I often use my mobile phone to pay when shopping on the PC, so there is no problem in using it; and the generation of parents at home are usually accustomed to smartphones, so there will be no obstacles to this method as long as they are slightly guided. Product details, you can pull down to see more content To the right, you can see product reviews and related recommendations. Game ApplicationsAs a must-have for smart TV platforms, TV games have attracted widespread attention. Alibaba’s layout approach is to directly integrate the functions of the game lobby into its own system, thus ensuring the entry Alibaba also launched a TV assistant software, which can be used to remotely control the TV or simulate a handle or even a steering wheel. It also has a multi-screen interactive function, which can project the content on the phone directly to the TV for viewing, which is very convenient. In addition, the assistant also supports voice functions and popular film and television recommendations, which can completely replace most TV assistant software on the market. It is simply a free super remote control. This is also one of the benefits of providing help at the system level. Educational interface content. Compared with mobile phones, TVs can carry an additional function of children's education. Therefore, there are many software for this content. Under the App Store Apps tab is a list of installed apps. Due to some reasons you understand, the number of apps in the store is not very rich, and users can manually install some other apps. Other functions The basic functions have been introduced, and the remaining ones are some miscellaneous functions, which I will briefly talk about. System settings, some very common basic settings, such as video resolution, network settings, viewing system information, etc., will not be introduced in detail. Home monitoring is a very interesting feature. You can use your mobile phone to view the situation at home. However, you need to purchase a camera separately. From a practical point of view, traditional monitoring equipment is more reliable. Currently, this feature is not very useful. One-click speed test function helps detect network speed and tells you which definition of video is suitable for you There are also simple but very practical small functions such as calendar, weather, and wallpaper changing, which I will not introduce in detail and will just go straight to the pictures. The URL navigation function lists some frequently used websites, and clicking on them will automatically call the browser. However, it is difficult to use the native Android browser on the TV because it is not designed specifically for it. Therefore, it is recommended to use a third-party browser, such as Xiao Mantou is positioned as a mid-range home entertainment device, so it does not have any "fever-level" or "flagship-level" configurations, but it does perform well in terms of video. The Alibaba Cloud OS system provides stability and controllability, and there is no lag during use. As for the appearance, it is round and cute. This product is more suitable for students who do not have very high performance requirements, and it can fully meet your basic needs. As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
