Remix Mini is a lightweight diversified product launched by TechTec.

It is said to be lightweight because its size is only 2.6CM * 12.4CM * 8.8CM, which is less than the size of palm. Compared with many box products on the market, it is also relatively small.

The reason for its diversification is that TechTec has innovatively developed the Remix OS by turning the Android interface into Windows. This not only preserves Android's open bottom layer and massive APP support, but also has the PC interactive interface of daily habits, which is convenient for quick start and application scenarios. As the slogan on the box: “The world's first ture Android PC”， Anyway, we should praise this courage to change.

At present, Remix Mini has two versions. The CPU is a 1.2GHz 64 bit Cortex-A53 quad core processor. The standard version is 1G memory+8G storage, and the high configuration version is 2G memory+16GB storage. The tail got the high configuration version. The activity price was 399 yuan when I inquired in JD the other day. I found that Shandong was out of stock when I wrote this experience···

The whole package of Remix Mini is very simple, not as aggressive as its product slogan. The main body, power adapter, HDMI cable, quick installation guide, manual and warranty card are fixed in the kraft paper packaging box.

The more you look at Remix Mini, the more you feel that this small, oval and flat shape is really like a piece of soap, a classic "shape". The logo of the front Remix is actually a power touch key. After connecting the power, touch this position to start the machine. During normal use, the display screen can be turned off and hibernated by just touching. From the parameters, the maximum continuous power of Remix Mini is 15W, so it can be standby for a long time, and it is more convenient to activate on demand.

A power indicator is designed on the front and side of the Remix Mini, which is the only one on the body. In fact, the tail thinks that it is not better to directly design the touch key LOGO as an indicator light. The brightness is not too high. Is it more cool to distinguish states by colors? Seen from the side, the connection of Remix Mini is quite neat, and the workmanship is good.

A ring of rubber anti slip mat is designed at the bottom of the fuselage, which has a good anti slip effect and can be stably placed in the living room, bedroom, office or other places where needed. From the label, we can see that the power input is 5V/2A, which is similar to the common charger of mobile phones. After all, the core is there.

In terms of the interface, Remix Mini has also made trade-offs and simplification in the interface because of the lightweight design concept. From left to right, there are power interface, RJ45 network cable interface, 2 USB interfaces, TF card slot and HDMI HD interface, reset key and 3.5mm audio interface, as well as 802.11g/b/n Wi Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, which maximize the use of the body and meet normal input and output requirements.

The connection of Remix Mini is very simple. Connect the power, set the voice, adjust the screen edge and set the wireless network according to the boot program, and then it can be used normally. The boot speed is relatively fast. Friendly tips, be sure to prepare the keyboard and mouse.

As mentioned earlier, the underlying OS of Remix Mini is Android, but its interactive interface is very similar to the popular Windows10. The taskbar, start menu, desktop icon, and notification bar are all familiar. Moreover, the system content switching and operation are relatively smooth, and there is no obvious jam. If you just take Remix OS as an example, it is hard to see whether it is Android or Windows from the interface.

The start menu in the lower left corner of Remix OS is directly displayed by icons. The installed APP can be easily found here. The file management also adopts the processing method similar to Windows, with the list classification on the left and the content display on the right. At the same time, Remix OS also supports multiple windows and can easily adjust the size of each working window. These are the advantages that traditional Android phones or boxes do not have.

The Remix Mini has a small body and a large number of Android applications. With the interaction of Windows habits, it can open a wide range of brain holes, have more playing methods and more possibilities. Some of these are also introduced in the product publicity.

Of course, to implement these functions, it is necessary to have a hardware that can handle most scenarios. After many applications were installed, Remix Mini scored 24739 points. Of course, this score is not too high in mobile phones, but it is more than enough for daily applications.

It can be seen from the application center of Remix OS that the app is supported by Peapod by default, and the content is guaranteed. Of course, you can also directly use the browser to find your favorite APP for installation.

For game controllers, there are quite a few games to play on Android, which are simple and entertaining. The tail tested tribal war, fishing and elimination games. Remix Mini still had no pressure to run. The large screen cooperated smoothly, which was not felt on the mobile phone. However, it is also found that in some games, due to some resolution compatibility problems, there will be deformation, which can be improved by adjusting the resolution.

For the box controller, many boxes have silently deleted the user's video collection APP due to the numerous instructions of the radio and television industry. Users are not allowed to download and install freely. They can only use the built-in video app with photos on the OS. However, most of these licensors are outdated resources or new resources that need to be charged separately, which once made the tail of VST and TV cat very annoying. Remix Mini is still in a category that is difficult to define accurately, so you can freely install the APP you want to use to see what you see without the command of that paper. For several APPs tested, Remix OS is still able to adapt to their different resolution requirements without serious distortion of video pages.

For office control? Well, few people should regard work as life. However, the official explanation is that Remix Mini can be used to connect the display to form a low-cost office environment. Realistically, Remix Mini's low price and low power consumption are also supported by office APP. It can still complete the task by using a display that supports HDMI interface or using a compromise solution of interface conversion. In fact, more importantly, the Remix Mini is portable. When using Remix Mini to work, it is not necessary to limit it to the desk. It can be carried on business trips. At meetings, it also starts to receive projections to facilitate project display. Of course, it's better to watch the movie from the projection.

For Nenmodel, I won't tell you that it's easier for Android to climb over the wall, nor will I tell you your favorite serial number. I only tell you that Remix Mini's decoding ability can meet the general needs, and the video playback is relatively smooth.

Heat dissipation is the natural enemy of digital equipment. Put Remix Mini directly on the floor and operate it for about one and a half hours under the northern floor heating environment with a room temperature of 24 degrees. The temperature of the upper part of the fuselage is 40.7 degrees measured with an infrared temperature measuring gun, which is an acceptable heat dissipation capacity.

In general, Remix Mini opens an Android PC window. Its characteristics are obvious. It not only has the advantages of Android, such as small size, low power consumption, low price, and many applications, but also has the advantages of convenient interaction on PC, wide application scenarios, and easy to get started. It can be said that both bring a feeling of "1+1>2". Of course, the shortcomings of Android PCization cannot be ignored. For example, resolution compatibility problems may occur on some APPs, and the problem of not leaving the keyboard and mouse. In office applications, keyboard and mouse can use wireless devices. However, if you want to purely refer to entertainment, such as connecting TV or projector, then interaction with keyboard and mouse is not a good interaction experience. It is suggested that the mini mouse and keyboard integrated flying mouse remote control can be added to the accessories, which can be used as both keyboard input and mouse, so as to improve the interactive experience of specific scenes.
