I received the second generation of Skyworth box i71S on the morning of the 9th, ahead of the Double 11. I have been waiting for a long time. What color will it be? What different surprises will the functional experience bring to me? Now let's take you to experience it.
 
 
▲ Box appearance
It is easy to see from the naming that the second generation of Skyworth box i71S is an upgraded version of i71S. Although there is not much change in appearance, the second generation of Skyworth box is more colorful and beautiful from the perspective of color alone. The double-layer injection molding process presents a crystal clear texture as a whole. It looks very harmonious when placed next to the TV in the living room, This time, we evaluated the gold color box of a local tyrant, which matched my silver monitor with gold and silver. The bottom of the box is equipped with anti slip rubber rings, and the round corners and rectangles are used around the box. It looks very round and heavy, giving a very stable feeling.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. The second generation of i71S with an average palm still has a complete range of interfaces, including 3.5MM audio interface, HDMI interface, RJ45 network interface and USB2.0 interface, which can fully meet the needs of most people. It should be noted that Skyworth box i71S II comes with Audio (audio output), which enables users of monitors to achieve audio and video synchronization Connect a subwoofer and you will become a real TV!
The smooth Android 5.1 system ensures the colorful playability of the box, and i71S II has also made great efforts in interactive experience. In terms of hardware, Skyworth i71S II adopts the chip scheme of Ruixin Micro RK3368. Ruixin Micro RK3368 adopts eight core 64 bit ARM Coretex-A53 core architecture, 28nm process design, and operates at 1.5GHz; The GPU is PowerVR G6110 and supports OPENGL ES 3.1; RK3368 has super video capability, supporting 4K × 2K video, H.264/H.265 hard decoding and HDMI2.0@60Hz Output.

In terms of accessories, the remote control, a pair of No. 7 batteries, power adapter, HDMI high-definition video cable, and instructions seem to have become the standard configuration of TV boxes. The power adapter of the second generation of Skyworth box i71S has been carefully designed so that it does not interfere with or occupy space in my crowded plug. 12V/1A stable voltage/current can withstand 4KV lightning surge configuration, ensuring stable and safe operation of the box. More importantly, after the external USB-HUB is connected, a set of wireless keyboard and mouse, wireless game controller, mobile hard disk, and USB flash drive are connected at the same time, and they can work stably.
The workmanship of the remote control can be directly felt with your hands. The concave convex design fits the palm of your hand, and the pressure feedback of the keys is just right, very crisp. What is different is that the second generation remote control of Skyworth box i71S uses the ordinary No. 7 battery to supply power, and it no longer needs to tangle with those button batteries.
What many people have not noticed is that this HDMI high-definition video cable has also been carefully designed, and the quality is even better. I originally had an HDMI cable, but the previous equipment did not meet the 4K standard, so it is sufficient for the previous equipment. Connect the original HDMI cable to the second generation Skyworth box i71S to play 4K videos. Almost every 5 or 6 seconds, I almost cried when I got stuck. I immediately replaced the delivered HDMI cable, which is called Smooth!

There are not many APPs in the machine, and more space is left for users to discover. When a new machine arrives, of course, a few necessary audio and video software should be provided, and entertainment should also run. The Internet cable and USB interface enrich the contents of the TV box.

It is worth mentioning that after several rounds of wild drag racing 8 with the external handle, it is concluded that there is no jam at all, and the corresponding is almost synchronous.
