Glory Cube is a multi-functional product launched by Huawei Glory, which integrates three functions: NAS, router and set-top box. From the perspective of social media, there are also many discussions about Glory Cube, which is also very promising. The official launch of the retail version also makes many people itch, so let's first see what this product looks like.
Compared with the big box caused by various luxury accessories in the public beta version, the Glory Cube in the retail version is much more exquisite. The packaging design of "one pillar holding the sky" is very impressive. The front is a rendered picture, and the back is a description of relevant features. Interestingly, as a product integrating NAS, router and set-top box, Glory Cube uses two CPUs and two systems to maintain system stability, which is very commendable.
Compared with the so-called Internet thinking in terms of functions, Glory Cube is actually a relatively mild use of skills, so it also uses situational guidance in the instructions.
In terms of accessories, compared with the luxury configuration of the public beta version, the retail version may be much simpler, but it is more abundant than the general products. According to the function, there are remote control, HDMI cable and network cable.
The body design of Glory Cube is simple and clear, and a square cylinder with one pillar holding the sky. Of course, those who are familiar with digital devices may feel the feeling of Apple Time Capsule at a glance.
In order to keep the body simple, Glory Cube sets various interfaces and precautions on the plastic film on the surface. For example, the bottom circle is used for heat dissipation.
The back is very rich, with all kinds of interfaces. From top to bottom are wireless code matching, one key copy key, reset key, headphone jack, USB 2.0 interface and HDMI interface, one wan port and two lan ports, one SD card slot and power input.
Due to multi-function integration, there are many interfaces of Glory Cube. Fortunately, they are all placed in the same location. At least, the connection of multiple wires will not have a strange sense of dirt. What may be criticized by Glory Cube is that the LAN port is only 100 megabytes, which is quite difficult in large file transmission. We will write a special article to explain the specific experience.
At the bottom, of course, is a more general description of management addresses and parameters.
There are two versions of Glory Cube depending on whether it has a built-in hard disk. In fact, the difference between them is just a different hard disk. (This is not nonsense?) The replacement of the hard disk is achieved by pressing the top cover of Glory Cube. The top cover has a corresponding anti fool design. Although I think it is standard symmetry, it doesn't really matter.
Glory Cube uses a 2.5-inch hard disk, supports up to 4TB, and uses STAT 3.0 interface. The Glory Cube hard disk carrier should be appreciated. The screw free design is very convenient for replacement.
What needs to be complained is that although the piano paint effect used by Glory Cube is really beautiful, it is very easy to produce very obvious scratches when wiping. When it comes to shape design, at least Glory Cube is obviously special compared with traditional routers, and it will not appear abrupt when placed as a family living room. Of course, the more important thing is the functional experience. We will write a detailed introduction.
