The millet box has been started from one generation. It seems that the millet box is simple in interface operation and powerful in price. After several generations of millet boxes, this time it ushers in a new and amazing millet box. This new millet box subverts the previous design, which can also be said to be the smallest and most exquisite millet box ever seen, with the narrowest part only 38mm, The weight is only 73g. This Xiaomi small box eliminates some sockets of the previous Xiaomi box, leaving only the HDMI high-definition socket. The appearance is fully enclosed. It is equipped with a 4-core CPU, a 4+2-core GPU, 1G storage and 4G flash memory, The 4G flash memory is relatively small. Since no USB socket is added, the external mobile hard disk cannot be installed. The most worrying problem is the heat dissipation. In the official test temperature, only 48.3 degrees can be played an hour in a 24.5 degree environment, which is acceptable in the temperature acceptance range. It can be seen that great efforts have been made to heat dissipation. The built-in power supply is plug and play, This is really a great benefit for those friends who want to go on business and chase dramas. Xiaomi has invested one billion dollars in film and television resources before, and has made great changes in film and television resources. The author is also very interested in such a small and light millet box. After all, he is also a rice noodle. Instead of getting the new year version of the millet box, he got the official version of the millet box. After several days of experience, the author was very happy with this millet box. Next, I would like to share with you the world's smallest Internet set-top box

Appreciation of the appearance of Xiaomi small box

As soon as I got it, when I saw the rectangular box, I thought of the box of the Xiaoyi camera. It looks very similar. Xiaomi's box has always been simple, whether it is for mobile phones, routing or accessories. There is only a simple MI logo on the front, but I haven't seen too many introductions. It feels very simple

At the back of the box is still a brief introduction to the product, including some configurations and some serial numbers. From the back, we can simply understand the various brief introductions of this Xiaomi box, so as to understand how powerful this Xiaomi box is

Pick up the front cover. There are only three small boxes with different shapes in the box. This Xiaomi box is extremely simple, The HDMI high-definition cable is Xiaomi's Bluetooth remote control. This time, the packing box is full, and it is not easy to take it out directly. Xiaomi also thought of this and added a transparent pull ring, which is on the top of the remote control box. Just pull out the box of the remote control, and it will be easier to take it out later

When it comes to accessories, except the remote control, there is only an HDMI cable. The biggest change brought by the Xiaomi small box this time is that there is only one HDMI connector. The biggest advantage of this is that it is very convenient. You can just plug in the HDMI connector to complete the setting operation on the TV

Compared with the appearance of the black remote control of the Xiaomi box before, this time it has changed to a white appearance. The key design is still very simple. Since the use of the Xiaomi remote control, I feel that the 11 keys on the remote control are enough to meet our daily operation. This has also played a lot of benefits for the elderly. There are fewer keys and the operation is simple. This time, the Xiaomi remote control is changed to the design of Bluetooth. The biggest advantage of Bluetooth is that there is no dead space for 360 degree operation, and remote control can be carried out in any corner of the living room. The official has also indicated that the remote control uses advanced Bluetooth BLE technology, which has played a great role in power saving. It can be used normally for up to a year, with various performances, This remote control has changed a lot from the previous ones of Xiaomi Box

The batteries of the remote control are the same as those of the previous remote controls. They all use button batteries. The advantage of button batteries is that they will not corrode and damage the contact of the remote control as the AA batteries before. The model is CR2032. This type of button battery is easy to buy in the market, and the price is also very cheap

The appearance of the small millet box is like a small square box. It is mainly white on the whole. There is only a simple MILOGO on the front, which makes people feel very simple and comfortable.

In terms of configuration, it is equipped with 4-core CPU, 4+2-core GPU, 1G storage and 4G flash memory, which is enough for daily use. However, for friends who like to play large games, 4G flash memory is relatively small, and for those who play small games and watch online movies and TV dramas, it is believed that it is enough

The Xiaomi small box has only one HDMI high-definition socket, which eliminates the previous USB socket of the Xiaomi box. In addition to simple operation, it also has many advantages in terms of appearance. There is only one socket, which also has many advantages for the elderly. Just plug in, you can directly operate on the TV. The disadvantage is that your TV must have an HDMI socket, which is relatively sad for old TVs or friends without an HDMI socket

In terms of voltage, the global voltage is generally divided into 100-130V and 220-240V. The Xiaomi small box uses 100-240V, and the domestic voltage standard is 220V, which can be used in the world. This way, for friends who travel or travel, It is not necessary to use the millet box because of the voltage problem. It can be seen that the millet box team has taken this into consideration for users

The instruction manual is a small book, orange Friday is matched with white, and there are detailed illustrations in it. You can clearly understand some setting and connection tutorials, and you can skillfully continue to operate and set the millet box through the instruction manual

At the beginning, there are graphic and text tutorials to teach you how to proceed to the next step. There are graphic and text tutorials, which are relatively easy, especially for the elderly, to see such graphic and text tutorials is easier to operate to complete some simple settings. For the MIUI TV system, the writer is very familiar with it. After all, he has been using millet boxes and seen such a familiar interface, Of course, it's no stranger.

Xiaomi spent a billion dollars on film and television resources. Previously, because there were too few film and television resources, many people had considered buying boxes and televisions. Those who knew about it could also directly find third-party applications. Those who did not know about it had increased their consideration. After the huge investment, online film and television did add a lot of films and TV dramas, and even the latest Taiping Wheel went on sale, However, you have to pay to watch it. All the New Year blockbusters in 2015 have been launched. It seems that this huge investment has achieved great results

TV dramas have also increased a lot, including some relatively new ones. For those who like to follow TV dramas, the special area of TV dramas is suitable, while the special area has added New Year blockbusters, which can watch the latest blockbusters at any time, such as Blu ray 3D area and children's area. The broadband at home should be strong enough to watch 3D. Generally, the broadband at home is relatively small. If you want to watch 3D, you may get stuck in a mess. If Xiaomi small box can add a USB port, it will be much better. At least you can download it to a mobile hard disk to watch 3D

Applications and games have also increased a lot compared with the previous ones. Generally, daily use is believed to be enough. The author uses the network box to basically watch movies and play small games. For Xiaomi, these are enough for daily play. Relatively speaking, there is not much 4G flash memory that can be stored. Just like some large games, if there are many games, it can be filled by several large games, With 4G flash memory, you can only download ordinary applications and small games for daily use and travel. Xiaomi small box is a good choice

proposal

Introduced the appearance and functions of Xiaomi small box, and the expressiveness is very good. Next, let's talk about the suggestions. The suggestions are mainly on Xiaomi small box, and the MIUI TV system has been running on Xiaomi small box stably. There are few BUGs seen so far, so let's talk about what I am dissatisfied with

1: It is mainly white, and only the socket is orange. Everyone knows that white is very easy to get dirty, and you can see any dust

2: Xiaomi small box has only one HDMI port. If you can add a USB port, it would be better. For example, 3D movies need at least several gigabytes. If you can't watch them online, you can only download them to a mobile hard disk. It's a pity that there is no USB port

3: Remote download is not supported. Although 4G flash memory is not large, there is no way to see a movie or store some materials. I hope to add Xunlei and Baidu Cloud's remote push in the future

summary
