Personally, I think the home projection products that are better made in China should belong to the products of Jimi Company. No matter from the appearance, design, price, black technology, and system experience, they can all be said to be distinctive home projection products, and even the products of the leading brands can't be compared. And my words are also based. In the next evaluation, In the actual experience, I will compare it with a major brand's micro investment. Well, the micro investment of this experience is the final work of the year from Jimi Technology. You can think of it as an upgraded version of Z4x, so you must be curious to know how much this product has improved? What are the innovations? This is what this experience evaluation will tell you!

I have always liked the product packaging of Jimi Micro Investment. This time, the Evoque packaging is more like a gift. The entire package is designed to be similar to a tool box, with power adapters and body remote controls on the left and right, two sets of 3D goggles on the other side, and Z4 Evoque in the middle.

Let's introduce some accessories of Evoque one by one. First, the remote control. Compared with the previous products, the remote control has changed a lot. The material has changed from plastic to silver aluminum magnesium alloy, and the feel is very delicate. The sandblasting process on the surface has brought a very good feel. In addition, the remote control has replaced the battery replacement design with a rechargeable built-in lithium battery design, with a standby time of up to 200 days. In addition, this remote control can achieve 360 ° dead angle free Bluetooth remote control, which is impossible for infrared remote control at present. The remote control also supports the flying mouse function, gravity sensing, voice operation, Among them, gravity sensing allows us to play many somatosensory games, so the Aurora remote control is a big change

The feel of the remote control is very good, and the feedback is timely. In addition, someone may have a question, that is, the remote control of the Jimi Z4x was designed with a focus button, so why is there no focus button on the Jimi Z4 Aurora? There used to be a switch at the bottom of the remote control, which can turn the volume up and down keys into focus keys. This design is very innovative. It does not need to design extra keys, but also can achieve the same function.

Jimi gave away two pairs of 3D glasses in the aurora. You should know that the price of one pair of 3D glasses is 100 yuan on the official website of Jimi. All the accessories included in the package of the aurora can be combined to create a private home theater! Another feature of Aurora is that it can transform 2D videos into 3D effects through a series of software algorithms. That is to say, even if there are few 3D resources, Aurora can let you experience 3D resources. With two pairs of 3D glasses, you can enjoy the 3D experience with your family!

In fact, the appearance of the Evoque Z4 is similar to that of the previous Evoque Z4x, which adopts the concept of "round sky and round place". However, the color matching of the Evoque uses a brand new champagne color, and the appearance design is similar to that of the Z4x. Both of them have the same texture, and the appearance is excellent. In addition, the edges and corners of the whole machine are completely free of cutting hands, let alone the workmanship.

The classic Z4x vinyl record design continues to extend to the Aurora. The vinyl disc shape is the highlight of the entire Aurora's appearance. The design of the laser wire drawing process makes the vinyl record shape on the top more textured. In short, I like the design of the vinyl record of the Aurora very much. It is an excellent decoration whether placed at home or in shops, How many people like retro vinyl record design as much as I do?

External Aurora has a built-in 3D gesture recognition chip, which means that you can perform a series of song cutting operations through specific gestures. The polar meter logo in the middle is a function button. In a word, this is just a simple vinyl record design, but it contains powerful black technology.

In addition, it may be to match the shape of the vinyl record, so there is a metal pointer on the top, which is actually an LED light. This makes the whole aurora top look full of retro feelings. By the way, many micro investment products at home and abroad have strange appearance designs, and there is no beautiful design at all. After all, family micro investment products should be placed at home. If you don't work hard on the appearance, you can't impress users by compromising the design, But Jimi doesn't just depend on his appearance! I will carefully evaluate the specific use experience for you later.

The aurora lens is equipped with a lens protection cover, and the lens uses a high transmittance coated lens. The light source is OSRAM LED, and it has a brightness of 600ANSI lumens. Here I would like to focus on the current household micro investment products, ANSI The maximum lumen is only 500, and the aurora can be said to break this limit. In addition, the service life of the aurora lens is about 30000 hours. Many people may feel that the lumen is relatively low, but you should know that the products that are basically 500ANSI lumens are all around the price of 3000. Even the price of some brands of 500ANSI lumens has reached 5000, and the brightness of aurora is 600ANSI lumens (Note: The conversion from ANSI lumen to domestic lumen is about 3000), and the price is only 3999 yuan (there should be preferential activities on the official website at present).

There is a row of irregular holes in the front of Aurora, and behind these holes is the built-in sound of Harman Carton brand. Aurora has a dual channel stereo speaker unit, and the sound quality is really great according to the actual experience, while I will use another way to prove that the sound effect of Aurora is very powerful.

The back of the Aurora has a very rich interface design. I will not introduce these heads to you specifically. The only highlight is that it supports the USB3.0 and dual HDMI design. I will not say much about the practicability. In addition, the Aurora is also started through the connection of an external power supply, which has some limitations. This is a little pity.

The other half of the interface is a diagonal cooling hole. The design of multiple cooling holes ensures that the aurora can effectively dissipate heat during operation.

The bottom of the host still keeps the design of the previous Z4x, and there is not much change. The design of arc-shaped silicone pad is still maintained, and the bottom of the three removable screws is also similar to the design of silicone pad, which can effectively ensure the anti-skid effect of the product.

In addition, the package of Evoque also includes a stand adapter plate, so buying an Evoque is equivalent to having a set of home theater equipment, and the Evoque is ready for you.

Aurora also designed a hard disk compartment at the bottom of the fuselage. To open the chassis, you need to remove three screws, and then rotate the black chassis to open it easily. According to the system prompt of Aurora, this 2.5 hard disk compartment only supports SATA solid state disks, not mechanical hard disks. Because of the attachment of solid state hard disks, you can use Thunderbolt offline download function, Download movies offline to the hard disk in advance, because Aurora is equipped with 8GB of storage space, but if you store movies, it may not be enough. For me, this hard disk compartment is only useful, not redundant. After all, watching movies online requires broadband. If you download movies offline in advance, you won't have to endure the painful process of buffering when playing them through the Aurora. Moreover, Aurora supports 4K video playback, and even 1080p video can't be smoothly buffered even if the network speed is slightly poor.. Well, that's all for the appearance introduction. Let me begin to see how the aurora experience is.

Fan noise is an unavoidable problem during the operation of micro investment products, but many users are difficult to accept products with too much noise. In the actual experience, let's first test how the aurora noise is controlled. In this test, I compared the ground-based projection and aurora at about the same price, First of all, BenQ's fan noise is controlled at 67 decibels (the following evaluations are all conducted during movie playing, rather than just standby)

In addition to noise, the most unavoidable problem of Microcast at present is that it can be played out. This Benji and Aurora are both claimed to be able to be used as speakers alone. Let me test the external play of decibels. At the maximum volume, the external play of Benji is 83 decibels.

The external sound of Aurora reached 104 decibels, and the fan noise was 49 decibels. In contrast, Aurora was significantly better than BenQ. In addition, in this decibel test, the fan noise of Aurora and BenQ were both tested in automatic mode.

Well, finally, let's talk about the experience of using Aurora.

Old rules, let's talk about the system first. Aurora uses a new remote control. After shaking the remote control a few times, the flying mouse function will be turned on. This flying mouse function experience is very pleasant. After turning on the flying mouse, the system interface will have a prompt.

Voice operation is also one of the most distinctive features of Aurora. Through the voice shortcut button on the remote control, we can carry out a series of voice operations.

Evoque is also divided into two system modes, one is the standard version, and the other is the business version. The interface of the business version is obviously used for meetings, which is very suitable for business people, or special for meetings. In the future, we can use one Evoque for meetings.

After the flying mouse is turned on, an indicator will appear on the system interface. The indicator can be operated by waving the remote control. The Aurora operating system is also deeply customized based on Android, but its ease of use, functions and experience can be said to be the "miui" of the micro investment world, If you have tried other brands of micro investment, you will find that the system of Evoque is simple, practical and good-looking.

However, I am not satisfied with the system of Evoque, which is that there are too few resources in the app store. We can only install apps for Evoque by installing third-party TV resource apps. In addition, I would like to make a personal suggestion, hoping that in the future, Evoque can add a physical game experience to the product. If this function is added, it will bring a better experience to users.

Frequently press the OK key of the remote control on the designated app icon to delete the application, which is convenient and easy to use. This is my evaluation of the experience of the aurora system.

I dare say that no micro investment company can do so many settings for the rich projection settings, and I will not introduce the functions and operations of the settings, which are basically similar to those of the Z4x.

In addition, I also like the function of backing up the cloud after logging into the account of Jimi. It can be seen that Jimi is really dedicated to maintaining this system, because most manufacturers do not add practical functions to the system after releasing micro investment. In their eyes, this is micro investment, while in the eyes of Jimi, this is no screen super TV, So the system experience of Aurora is just like the smart TV outside.

There is another function of Aurora that I think is particularly powerful. Why? It can transform local video files from 2D to 3D. That is to say, if there are 3D resources not available in online theaters, you can download them yourself and then convert them to watch them. With the 3D glasses attached to Aurora, you can experience them without saying much. I won't introduce other systems. Basically, movies and music are the same as other products of Kimi. We still focus on experience.

How about the performance of Aurora? According to the test of Anthare TV software, the score of Evoque is 18 thousand, while that of Benji, whose price is higher than that of Evoque, is 10 thousand. The comprehensive hardware improvement of Evoque is much better than that of previous products. The score of 18 thousand is close to the performance of the current 1000 yuan machine, so it is no pressure to play ordinary games and a few large games.

Now let's take a look at the actual projection experience of Aurora. It's also said that Aurora can convert local videos by itself, which is the effect of 2D to 3D. With the 3D glasses, you can watch 3D movies at home~

In the projection effect of the aurora image, we can see that the color of the sky in the original image is relatively similar, but the color of the lake is slightly blue. (For all the following live photos of Aurora, in order to ensure the cleanness and tidiness of the evaluation pictures, I cut out all the black edges of the live photos, so the live photos may be slightly larger than the original images, but this will not affect the evaluation)

(Original picture)

The effect of the aurora projection is a bit biased. Almost the whole picture is biased, but the picture is clear and the brightness can be guaranteed. We can see that the brightness of the aurora projection picture is even higher than the original picture.

Well, next, we will test the projection effect of aurora under different lights. First, this is a projection effect taken by turning off lights at night.

This one is the effect of the live shot after turning on the warm light in the bedroom. You can clearly see that the picture turns a little red, but it does not affect the viewing.

This picture is the result of turning on the fluorescent lamp, and the picture can still be seen, which does not affect the viewing. This is a bit interesting. Many people who have not actually used the polar rice products, when they see such products, they directly say that they can see nothing when the lamp is turned on. However, after different tests, the picture can still be seen very clearly.

I know that the above three pictures can not confirm that the actual projection picture after turning on the light is like that, so I took another picture of the aurora projection after turning on the indoor warm light. We can clearly see that even if the light is turned on, this will not affect the projection effect of the aurora at all.

Of course, the night is still the night, so the next day I turned on the aurora in the afternoon of the day to test the projection effect, which also surprised me. Although the effect was not as good as that at night, in the daytime, I didn't pull the curtains or close the door, and the aurora projection effect in the daytime was still very clear! We all know that even the projection of 10000 yuan is very poor in the daytime. Have you ever seen a movie in a cinema with lights on? As a family micro investment product, Evoque can perform like this, which is very good. However, I personally think it is better to use aurora at night, not only because of the projection effect, but also because of the same atmosphere as the cinema. Can you feel the feeling of a home theater when you open a projection in the daytime? Definitely not.

Compared with the original picture, the performance of the aurora is a little bit biased. I will not introduce more about the later evaluation live shot. Let's enjoy the projected live shot pictures of the aurora!

(Jimi non screen assistant)

Oh, by the way, if you want to have a better experience, I suggest you install the Kimi no screen assistant on your mobile phone. The biggest feature is remote installation of applications, which also solves the problem of no application software in the Kimi system. In addition, you can also install the software package in your mobile phone, and can also serve as a series of practical functions such as remote control.

Experience summary: I can say that Aurora is a relatively perfect flagship family micro investment. At this price point, there are few products with the same lumen as Aurora. From the appearance, system, accessories and price (there should be preferential activities), Aurora can be said to be very excellent, What kind of experience does the screen less TV bring to us? For example, some migrant workers in the north have trouble buying a TV opportunity because of the instability of their living quarters. They can't move at any time. So if there is a super TV without a screen, we can take it with us. That is, we can have a mobile TV, and we can set up a family cinema, because the maximum projection size of the aurora is 300 inches, So the Evoque can bring us these experiences, of course, not just these experiences. As I said before, the summary of this experience of the Evoque is almost perfect. It seems that there is nothing wrong with a product. The most troublesome thing for Internet brands is after-sales. In the future, we hope that the after-sales service can be more strengthened. No product is perfect. Finally, let's talk about what needs to be modified. When I experience the Aurora, the system sometimes gets stuck. Although the system design is optimized well, I still need to continue to work hard. Secondly, there is almost no software in the Aurora's own app store, which can be said to be empty. In addition to these two problems, In other aspects, Aurora performed very well.
