Lenovo 17TV 55i2 connects the new middle class and plays the family card for the elderly and children

Lenovo 17TV, which has been dormant for a while, suddenly made a new sound this year.

Lenovo 17TV 55i2 is finally released. This TV will be launched on June 10, 2016 at a launch price of 3199.

This is surprising news. Since 17TV sold 3,744 55-inch TVs in three days after its first launch last year, becoming the monthly sales champion of 55-inch TVs, 17TV has not updated its news in the TV field for a long time. There are even rumors that 17TV may give up launching TV products this year.

However, this year, not only did it launch new products, it also played the family card, trying to target the current new middle-class user groups and solve a series of user pain points.

Living rooms also need the beauty of an artistic TV?

Lenovo 17TV believes that the first thing anyone pays attention to when they see something unfamiliar is always the appearance. Excellent appearance will naturally get a good first impression.

Therefore, the 17TV 55i2 relies on its unique appearance philosophy and adopts a rare neat back design. The 3D textured back shell also gives the back a delicate texture. From this point of view, Lenovo's 17TV idea is quite unique. In this environment where people generally don't pay attention to the aesthetic design of the back shell, the 17TV 55i2 has specially carved the back, and this pursuit is worthy of praise.

Of course, after Lenovo hid the heat dissipation vents and removed all the interfaces from the back, it remains unknown whether the heat dissipation is good and whether the interfaces are easy to plug and unplug for maintenance. 17TV did not mention this, and perhaps these will become side effects of the pursuit of artistic beauty.

17TV doesn’t want to be a geek

In fact, when Lenovo 17TV released 17TV 55i2, it put forward a very intriguing point of view: not willing to be a geek. Geek is synonymous with cutting-edge technology applications. In today's smart TV, if a TV cannot meet the "geek" standard, it seems that it will be instantly eliminated by new products from competitors.

Does the 17TV 55i2 really not have a geek element? I think the answer is no.

The air mouse remote control with gaming mouse-level micro-control technology has been deeply cooperated with LeTV Cast to optimize the large-screen interactive effect of mobile terminals on TVs. It also uses a quad-core A53+Mali-T860 chipset and 802.11AC dual-receive and dual-transmit WIFI function with a maximum of 867Mbps. No matter from which angle you look at it, this TV is trendy and geeky enough.

17TV said, "We like it, but the elderly in our family don't." This is actually the first "family card" played by Lenovo 17TV.

When faced with a sea of ​​data on smart terminals, the elderly often choose not to read them. 17TV 55i2 allows users to customize several clean and simple home screens to display selected content. They can get the information they want as soon as they turn on the device. This kind of smart technology can be regarded as a real service for the elderly.

Simplifying intelligence does not seem to fit our definition of geeks, but any technology must ultimately return to serving people. Starting with the details is also the artistic complex of 17TV.

The strong return of the new version of Tiger Mom is another "family card" played by 17TV. Strictly controlling the viewing content and TV time of children at home, and more parent-child interactive projects than the first generation, all of these directly hit the pain points of the new middle-class parents.

17TV brings entertainment back to the living room

Android TV games will break the console monopoly on TV games! This is a bold statement made by a certain TV brand. This is a big environment. Smart TVs or TV boxes are trying to create an ecosystem under the Android system that can challenge console games. Perhaps in the future, this will become a reality, but at this stage, the gap between the two is still quite far.

Lenovo 17TV takes a unique approach, using mobile phone screen projection to turn mobile games into TV large-screen games. This is probably the biggest advantage of the cooperation with LeTV screen projection. When the delay of screen projection is so low that it cannot be differentiated, what is the difference between playing games with a mobile phone and playing games with a controller?

It is far less comfortable to look down at the several-inch screen of your mobile phone than to lie on the sofa and watch TV on a big screen.

Many people think that if mobile phone screen projection can be done without any delay, they may be willing to connect to the TV to experience it while playing mobile games. The in-depth cooperation between 17TV 55i2 and LeTV Screencast has achieved this.

By then, 17TV's somatosensory games and customized fitness channels will gradually attract users and return their attention to the living room. This also achieves the original intention of Lenovo 17TV, which is to hope that users can get more family entertainment.

Family ties cannot hide weak technology

At the launch of the 17TV 55i2, something went wrong during the live demonstration.

In the real machine PK session, when 17TV 55i2 competed with a popular smart TV in search speed, the ability of 17TV 55i2 that it claimed to recognize dialects was not reflected at all, because it was really embarrassing to fail the competition because of dialects.

The distinctive dialect recognition voice system has become incompatible in full view of the public, so it is really questionable whether the other functions launched by this TV are truly reliable.

You can play the family card, after all, people with elderly parents and young children are really worried about the physical and mental health of their family, but excellent performance should be the main business of a TV. Referring to the market response of Nut mobile phones that take the sentimental route, Lenovo 17TV should take this experience as an excellent product that truly has both performance and service.
