Xiaomi Note is undoubtedly the absolute protagonist of today's flagship launch conference of new products, while Xiaomi Small Box, which is introduced with only a few words, is more interesting. It is even as small as a socket, which is enough to forget its existence. It provides the core functions of the set-top box. Perhaps the millet box, which is cheaper and more focused, is really a good gift.
Xiaomi small box will be available for purchase on January 20, with a limited quantity of 9999 New Year gift packages. New Year gifts are packaged in a red festive style, with the words "Best New Year gift" written on them.
On the back is the corresponding feature introduction and hardware configuration. In terms of hardware configuration, Xiaomi small box uses 1.3GHz MT8685 processor of MediaTek, 1G RAM and 4G ROM, in addition to dual band Wi Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 support. And the remote control of Xiaomi Box is also the first time that Xiaomi Box is equipped with a Bluetooth remote control as standard.
Xiaomi small box this time, of course, is highlighted by a small character, both on the outer package and the inner package. The internal body and accessories are packed separately, which is very compact.
A piece of HDMI wire is attached with the machine. All interfaces are gold-plated, and the whole is white.
The Xiaomi small box is equipped with a Bluetooth remote control as standard, which is the first time in the Xiaomi box series. Of course, this is also because the Xiaomi small box does not have infrared reception. The layout of the Bluetooth remote control is no different from that of the previous Xiaomi box. It is white in color and has a Bluetooth logo on the bottom.
Frankly speaking, when Xiaomi's small box was officially unveiled for the first time, its small shape and special socket made me think it was a new Xiaomi smart socket. The millet small box has a variety of colors to choose from, but the different colors are only at the bottom, which has no effect in daily use. In fact, there is not much difference.
The size of Xiaomi small box is 46.8 * 46.8 * 38mm, which is a circle larger than the common plug. The actual use will not affect the adjacent plug seats. Due to the size of the body, the interface of Xiaomi small box is also very simple, without the usual mirco USB interface, RJ45 interface, AV interface, USB interface and power interface of Xiaomi box, but only HDMI interface.
The size comparison between Xiaomi Box and Xiaomi Note shows that Xiaomi Box is really small. Due to the built-in power supply and small body design, Xiaomi small box is actually more targeted at people who go out and use core functions. The Xiaomi small box only needs to be plugged into the socket and connected to the HDMI to work normally. For many people, this is simple and easy.
Of course, due to the body interface, the Xiaomi small box has basically rejected the support of local high-definition playback, and has great limitations on scalability. But back to his positioning, it is actually obvious that this approach is also obvious. The content of the GITV platform built into Xiaomi's small box has also been able to meet the needs of most people.
At present, the price of 1G and 2G of the enhanced version of Xiaomi Box is 299 yuan and 399 yuan respectively, and the official price standard of 199 yuan of Xiaomi Box is undoubtedly lowered again. Starting from the concept of streamlining additional functions and strengthening the core, this approach can be more like targeting simple and practical groups such as parents. Of course, we will conduct a more detailed evaluation experience in the future for the difference and experience of Xiaomi small box in details.
