preface:

With the rapid development of mobile Internet, intelligent hardware is upgrading traditional hardware. The basic purpose of intelligent hardware is to solve the pain points in the use of traditional hardware, improve the user experience, and make users feel convenient and fast. This is the basic starting point of intelligent hardware. The author has seen a sentence that I think is very good: "All relationships that do not aim at marriage are hooligans, and all intelligent hardware that do not aim at improving the user experience are masters." Although intelligent hardware has achieved a breakthrough in traditional hardware, it is not easy to make users both applaud and win, and really improve the user experience.

The same is true for the audio industry. Many audio products I have contacted are moving towards intelligence. Smart audio with different ideas presents different states, such as voice controlled smart audio, gesture controlled O2, etc., but the common point lies in the close combination with mobile Internet, so as to improve intelligence. A Xiaojia smart speaker contacted by the author this time It's also intelligent loudspeaker box The biggest feature of the product is that it combines loudspeaker box +The tablet has two forms, which can access the wireless network, and is equipped with a 7-inch touch screen, which is convenient for users to operate and helpful for improving the user experience.

Thanks to Lei Feng for providing this valuable experience opportunity, and also thanks to the good products provided by Kuanyang Technology.

Unpacking:

When I got Xiaojia for the first time, the size was really beyond my expectation. There was a product schematic on the front, a touch screen smart speaker, produced by Broadocean Technology, and on the other side was a schematic on the back of Xiaojia, clearly indicating its basic functions. The slogan "Let her represent my love" was very warm. Xiaojia was a good choice as a gift, and on the side was Xiaojia's parameter description.

However, it is suggested that two or one upper handle is more convenient for carrying such a large package.

Appearance and details:

The body of Xiaojia smart speaker is a very classic color matching, with two 5W speakers on both sides and a 7-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1024 * 600 in the middle. There is also an infrared receiver beside the left speaker to introduce the remote control signal of the infrared remote control.

Xiaojia also has a front camera above his screen. You can have video chat with QQ and WeChat friends.

Xiaojia has three physical buttons on the top, which are power, volume up and volume down. The key feedback is obvious and responsive.

Xiaojia did not force the combination of "tablet+speaker", but was designed by Darwincaodao, a design master who won the red dot and IFA awards, The round shape makes the appearance more pleasing, and the surface baking treatment is very textured . The carrying comfort is also carefully designed. The screen is normally placed at an angle of 30 degrees, This design can see the screen more clearly and achieve the best audio-visual effect, People like the details.

For the convenience of carrying, a grooved handle is also designed, which can be easily carried by one hand.

Xiaojia interface is very rich. From left to right, it is DC-12V LINE OUT、HDMI、USB、microSD、RESET。 With HDMI port and TV connection, Xiaojia instantly becomes a smart box. Unfortunately, Xiaojia has no standard HDMI cable.

There are three blue rubber pads at the bottom of Xiaojia, which play the role of anti-skid. The slightly raised setting can also protect the bottom.

Xiaojia is also equipped with a remote control. The remote control is very small. It is more convenient for remote control when listening to music and watching movies. The remote control is powered by a button battery.

Operation experience:

Xiaojia is equipped with Android 5.1.1 system, and has carried out in-depth optimization. The carefully designed dual UI, one is the original Android UI, the other is similar to Windows UI, and can freely install various APPs. Windows The UI home page has 15 sections, including music, video, voice, weather, news, JD, social networking, browser, radio, clock, settings, reading, preschool education, switching, applications, and health. The font and icons are large, and the elderly can also see the characters clearly (digression: noon And Mom Eating, not turning on the TV, directly using the live news watched by Xiaojia)

Xiaojia's operation is still very smooth (PS: The direction of the mobile phone was not noticed when recording the video, which led to the inverse of the video and the exported GIF, but it can still be seen clearly. Let's move the cervical vertebra

The setting interface is the same as that of an ordinary Android phone tablet.

On the lock screen interface, it should be mentioned that Xiaojia's built-in Lingxi voice assistant has a high speech recognition rate, which can basically free hands.

Xiaojia's video source is ST Full aggregation, with a powerful video library. There are all kinds of TV, movies, variety shows, sports and so on. You can order whatever you want to watch. As long as the network is good enough, videos load quickly and play smoothly.

Built in Netease News allows you to receive the latest news in real time.

Switch to Android UI, you can clearly see Xiaojia's built-in applications, which are basically commonly used, and you can use them directly.

If you are not satisfied with the existing applications, you can also go to the App Store to download other applications. However, I have seen download failures here. I don't know why. Besides these, I can't search for other applications. It seems that you can download them through Pea Pod.

Card type background program, which supports one click clearing.

Xiaojia, such a big guy, may not be the best choice for playing games. However, the "preschool education" function is very good. The built-in baby bus can educate children, and there are many cartoons in the VST full aggregation. I believe that if there are families with children, children will like Xiaojia. My daughter likes to watch cartoons with Xiaojia at a young age.

The biggest feature of Xiaojia's customized UI is to simplify the tedious operations. It can perfectly cooperate with the remote controller to realize remote control. Bring better experience. Xiaojia performed very well in terms of fluency. Multi program runs smoothly and WIFI connection is stable.

With one HDMI cable, Xiaojia and the TV can play on the same screen. At this time, the real functions of the remote control will be displayed. Remote control can be easily realized, and the TV will become a computer.

As the main music function, Xiaojia smart speakers have built-in Kuwo music, which supports direct downloading or streaming media without independent devices. Of course, it can also be connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth. The songs on the mobile phone can be played directly on Xiaojia. The two 5W dedicated voice cavity and waveguide designed speakers can play with some HIFI characteristics. As a desktop level small speaker, the low frequency can feel a certain elasticity, with a good diving depth and a medium to more volume sense, The whole voice is thick, and it will be good to appreciate the male voice; In terms of mid-range, the effect of male voice and female voice is quite satisfactory. The overall performance was clean and neat. There is no broken sound or noise.

Summary:

Xiaojia smart speakers have made a very good integration of traditional speakers and tablets. Both the touch and Internet experience on the tablet and the auditory experience of the speakers have been shown quite well. It is also very powerful, integrating tablet computer, Bluetooth speaker and network box. With excellent audio quality and support for touch screen operation, free installation of APP, watching videos and playing games, are you not interested in such products?
