"The tablet that cannot watch the live broadcast is not a good speaker" You must be in a mess after reading the title. What on earth is this? It can also be used as a TV box and a flat panel. Is it still a speaker? Well, let's not hang our appetites. Let's see what this product is like.

parameter

Xiaojia touch screen smart speaker adopts four cores ARM Cortex-A7 Processor, equipped with native Android system five point one , Bluetooth four and WiFi . As for the speaker, it is configured two individual 5W 's horn, sound effect reaches Hi-Fi Level, which can be compared with " 500~600 Block speakers ". Its biggest advantage is that Xiaojia touch screen smart speakers do not have cumbersome key interaction, but interact directly through screen touch, which is direct and simple. It is not only easy to operate, but also has more options.

In addition, Xiaojia touch screen smart speaker also supports hi-fi High quality audio output and high-definition video output, Bluetooth synchronous output. It can be used as a tablet. Since the designer has equipped Xiaojia with a small infrared remote control, it is said that it is perfect for people with advanced cancer! And Xiaojia touch screen smart speakers have more than 100 models app The application download will be continuously upgraded in the future to improve the freshness of users' use.

Appearance and details

The overall material of the box is thick. The normal delivery process has little impact on the box. The design of the outer box is in line with the style of the current Internet products. Simple product appearance photos and one color feature function descriptions can make people intuitively understand the product features without causing aesthetic fatigue.

Here, we would also like to thank the sample of "Xiaojia Smart Speaker" provided by the trial platform of Lei Feng.com.

The sheath of the fixed product is a rare "environment-friendly paper shell" at present. This environment-friendly design reflects that "Xiaojia" does not forget to do a little for the environment while paying attention to science and technology.

All accessories include: a host; One remote controller; A manual; One charger body; micro USB One data line.

12V 1.5A Dedicated charger.

When it comes to "smart" products, everyone's impression is that they can be used APP Operation, but Xiaojia is an Android "tablet", so "Xiaojia speaker" does not have a matching mobile phone APP However, considering that "Xiaojia" still has the need for remote operation, such as lying in bed with a remote control speaker playing music, the manufacturer has designed an infrared physical remote control for it. The remote control button is not very different from the remote control of other box products, except that several special music buttons such as "start, pause", "up and down" are added to directly evoke the music player. The touch and workmanship of the buttons are pretty good.

At this stage, in order to achieve a smaller volume, common remote controllers use the "Xiaojia" button battery design. Button battery is not only smaller in size but also better in endurance.

When unpacking, Xiaojia speakers reveal their true contents. My first impression of "Xiao Jia": except for the middle seven inch 1024*600 The capacitive touch screen with resolution is particularly eye-catching. Xiaojia's overall appearance style can only be said to be moderate, and does not give people a sense of technology.

Two semicircular sound holes are hidden on both sides 5W Wolfson An external loudspeaker with sound effects.

Surprisingly, Xiaojia added a 300W Pixel camera, use this camera to open Xiaojia's QQ Such video software can easily and quickly communicate with other digital devices.

From the side view, we can see that Xiaojia's front face is roughly fifteen With a backward tilt of °, this angle can make the front touch operation more comfortable and video viewing more convenient.

Overlooking Xiaojia, the semicircle design corresponding to the overall style reappears.

Three physical buttons are added at the top, namely, "On/Off" and "Volume Up/Down". After all, no matter how smart a product is, it always feels a little insecure without physical buttons. The three buttons have an average feel, and the noise is slightly loud when pressed.

The back of Xiaojia is not very distinctive, but also simple and clear.

The addition of the hand hole makes it easier to carry and move Xiaojia at ordinary times.

A row of expansion holes at the rear, 12V Special interface for power supply LINE Interface HDMI Output interface micro USB Interface SD Card slot and reset button. It's a pity that Xiao Jia didn't plug in directly U Disk interface, which is not supported OTG Function. If you want Xiaojia to play videos in other memory, you can only copy them to micro SD It can only be carried out after the card is inserted.

bottom three The long blue anti slip mat can ensure that there will be no movement when Xiaojia is placed normally, and it can also reduce the desktop vibration caused by playing music. In addition, the hole slightly covered by the picture is the microphone radio hole.

system UI

Strictly speaking, Xiaojia doesn't have his own style, but only his native Android 5.1.1 A "Xiaojia" custom theme is added to the system. Select the "Conversion" menu in the "Theme" to switch to the original Android interface. On the whole, the theme of "Xiaojia" is similar to Windows Phone style , Each menu interface is square, and the menu volume is large. This style is more conducive to the manipulation experience. It is worth mentioning that although it is just a theme, Xiaojia has made great efforts to make the theme, and almost all common modules such as settings, clock, weather, and social networking can be found quickly in the theme.

Why Xiao Jia UI Just the theme? Click on the "Music", "Video" and "Weather" menus to get the answer. As can be seen from the dynamic diagram, click the three menus to open "Cool Dog Music"“ VST Video aggregation software "and" Weather Connect "are three third-party software, while other news, reading and other menus are the same. After experiencing this, I don't think it is necessary to introduce the system too much. I believe everyone is familiar with installing the system.

The design interface is similar to the Android tablet.

characteristic

one Touch operation

I have seen many speakers with ordinary small displays, but seven It is the first time that I have seen the touch screen speaker. Although Xiaojia is equipped with an infrared remote control, I personally feel that touch is the last interactive experience. In normal operation, Xiaojia only needs to slide and touch on the screen like an operating tablet, and the feel is as comfortable as that of a traditional tablet.

two Bluetooth connectivity

Although Canon directly installs third-party music software to play music, it is not enough for smart speakers. After connecting the mobile phone with Xiaojia's Bluetooth, Xiaojia can be used alone as a pure Bluetooth audio with Xiaojia's own 2000mAH Battery, whether at home or camping can enjoy music. In addition, the Bluetooth function can connect mobile phones, Bluetooth handles, Bluetooth mouse keys and other Bluetooth devices.

three As a TV box

As a speaker, it has surprised people to be able to carry a tablet function. After careful study, we found that Xiaojia can actually connect TV as a TV box. use HDMI After connecting the TV, Xiaojia has transformed into a fashionable TV box! However, through actual tests, it is found that Xiaojia is only connected to the TV as a device on the same screen. When Xiaojia's screen turns off, the TV content turns off at the same time, which means that if it is really used as a TV box, it is equivalent to two devices playing the same content at the same time.

four camera

Don't have a camera on your home desktop? Too tired to chat with mobile phone video? With Xiaojia, this is no problem. Open the chat software in the system and start video chat easily and conveniently through the camera. However, we can also see from the shooting effect that, 300W The pixel camera can barely see clearly. For those friends who have high requirements for image quality, this camera is still a little weak.

five Third party application installation

The news that SARFT blocked box products a few days ago is noisy. Whether a tablet or box can be installed with third-party applications will surely become an important standard for people to buy such products. It seems that Xiaojia has not been affected by the storm, although Xiaojia cannot pass U The disk can be used to install applications directly, but you can open the web page through your own browser to download various software directly. After downloading the "sofa butler", it becomes easier to install third-party applications.

six alarm clock

If Xiaojia is usually placed at the bedside, Xiaojia can also be used as an alarm clock. From morning till night, Xiaojia is always around us.

test

Since Xiaojia is both a flat panel and a TV box, it is necessary to test the performance according to the requirements of the flat panel and the box. The first is the "entertainment rabbit" score, eighteen thousand When running the game FPS6.6 As a tablet or box, the score can only be considered as low or medium. However, from the practical experience, Xiaojia's "tablet" is performing well without too many applications installed, and there is no sense of stuttering in normal use.

Xiaojia's screen is fairly standard when dealing with the color bar and grayscale test of Anthare, and there is no big problem.

The angle test is done when Xiaojia screen is on the same plane as the desktop. When starting from left and right forty-five ° The color change is not obvious when viewing, from the top forty-five ° A slight white phenomenon will appear when viewing from below forty-five ° The color distortion is so serious that it can hardly be seen. Of course, this test is only to fully reflect Xiaojia's screen effect. Since it is almost impossible to see Xiaojia from the bottom up (because Xiaojia is vertically placed on the desktop) during normal use, generally speaking, Xiaojia seven The inch screen is still enough for daily use.

A simple test of the video format played by Canon is carried out with Anthare video test software thirty Among the video formats seventeen Seed can play perfectly, eight Silence or jamming occurs in, five This format cannot be played at all. Xiaojia's performance on paper data is poor, but listening to the name "Xiaojia Smart Speaker" may not be a big problem. After all, someone else is a speaker rather than a tablet. In addition, if people really pursue video format, they will not use tablet devices like Xiaojia to play movies.

Next, let's take a look at Xiaojia's endurance 100% The endurance test of playing music alone (the screen is off and the volume is low) is carried out when the battery is fully charged. The space between the two vertical lines in the figure represents one hour. It can be seen from the power monitoring on the figure that if Xiaojia only plays music when the screen is off, the endurance is about seven About hours. Charge it with its own charger two Hours full. Due to the time limit, the test of the endurance when playing the video was not conducted. However, judging from the situation of mobile phones and other devices, Xiaojia may only be able to support playing the video 2~3 About hours.

In front of Xiaojia, I used "it is just a speaker" again and again in the hardware evaluation part related to the tablet to relieve Xiaojia. What about Xiaojia's performance in terms of sound quality? Next, I used several classic songs to test the sound quality performance of "Xiaojia":

NetEase cloud music 320kbit/s High definition version of "Ferry" by Cai Qin. This song is usually used to test low frequency and vocal performance. "Xiaojia" can only say that the performance of the first three drums is in line, and the vibration depth of the drums is slightly weak. The voice of Cai Qin behind is clear and comfortable.

NetEase cloud music 320kbit/s The high-definition version of the Hawks' Hotel California. It is mainly used to test the sound field performance of "Xiao Jia". When listening to the opening applause, it really feels immersive. The performance of the vocals of the Eagle Band in the middle is also exquisite and comfortable. After the music, applause and cheers at the end are sounded at the same time, the source position of various sounds can be better distinguished.

In combination“ see you again ”The sound quality characteristics of the "Xiaojia" sound system in the general context of pop music: To be honest, I thought that Xiaojia speakers would bring me a little surprise in the most important part of the sound quality, but after listening to several songs with Xiaojia sound system, I suddenly felt similar to the perception of the front "flat part" - well behaved, the performance of mid-frequency and high-frequency is acceptable, and the performance of low-frequency is weak, The sense of shock is not strong. It gives me the impression that it is only the same kind of products worth about one hundred yuan in the market.

summary

  First of all, I really appreciate the idea that "Xiaojia" has opened up another development path for speakers one hundred However, if you look closely at Xiaojia's details in tablet, speaker and box, you will feel that he has only passed the exam in these three aspects sixty As a tablet, its screen pixels and display effect are low, and its hardware configuration is slightly outdated. As a sound box, its volume and sound quality are also just satisfactory without much surprise. It cannot be inserted as a box U Disc, and supports fewer video formats, and can only be played separately on the same screen after being connected to the TV. So on average, I gave Xiao Jia a comprehensive score of seventy-five Points. This score means that if you expect Xiaojia to have high expectations in any aspect of tablets, speakers and boxes, Xiaojia may disappoint you. However, if your living room is hoping to have such a artifact that integrates three functions, Xiaojia is definitely the only product that can meet your three wishes at present. Well, after writing this experience article, I should also listen to music with Xiaojia
