2014 was a year of great outbreak and chaos in China's Android tablet market. Domestic manufacturers of all sizes have launched their own products. In this era when Android tablets are close to the bad street, Remix is different. Remix super tablet is also a tablet product with strong cross-border characteristics. It was jointly created by three senior Google engineers from Silicon Valley to create better mobile devices. As a start-up company, it is not strange to feel strange about it, but Remix's appearance, which is very similar to the surface, is impressive enough. I believe you will "remember" it after reading it.

Remix's packaging is as simple and beautiful as its products. Suddenly, a good impression of Remix came into being. The irregular graphic design of the surrounding borders, the cold white and blue colors set off each other, and the waistline of the border appears to be full of science and technology. Open the box and see the picture. The first thing I saw was a poster similar to a movie style, a picture of an astronaut, a paragraph in English, FOR THE REVOLUTION ARIES THAT WILL SHAPE TOMORROW_. Remix looks like a technological product from the future.

Below the poster is the exclusive screen film, which is now the standard configuration of digital products when they leave the factory (conscience manufacturer). The metal shape of Remix plate looks hard, firm and round. In this evaluation, I got Remix in red and black, which is exactly the same color scheme as my Lenovo notebook Y450. Such bold color matching also shows that Remix's target users are mainly young people, especially students and pioneer groups entering the workplace. The headphone cable hole, camera and the physical buttons on the frame are all surrounded by a metal ring, which is the finishing touch, making Remix attractive. The 8100mhA large battery adds several weights to Remix, but 860g is acceptable for mobile office tablet computers.

Remix's screen uses an 11.6-inch full fitting full HD retinal IPS display with a resolution of 1920 * 1080. Compared with ordinary video playback, it is absolutely sufficient. The bottom of the frame in the middle of the screen and the bottom of the back have Technotech logos; On the back of Remix, there is a 5 megapixel camera and a microphone. The lower part is a double angle adjustable bracket, made of lightweight aviation aluminum alloy, which supports 40 and 80 angles; There is a TF card slot hidden behind the bracket. In my opinion, the TF card slot is just the icing on the cake. Remix's own 64G capacity is sufficient for positioning mobile office tablets; The left side of the Remix body is the volume button, and the right side is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a Micro usb interface, which can be used to connect the OTG to the mouse, handle and other external devices, and can also be used for tablet charging and data transmission. At the bottom of the left and right sides are immersive audio systems, allowing you to have a more realistic three-dimensional experience in video entertainment.

Only a keyboard can be regarded as a complete tablet computer. The magnetic suction design of Remix keyboard makes installation and disassembly much easier. The size of the keyboard is the same as that of the tablet screen. The key stroke is slightly shorter than that of the ordinary laptop keyboard. The feel is very good, the key size is just right, and the resilience is better than the acerJME-8105 chocolate standard multimedia keyboard I am using. The unexpected surprise of the use of combination keys can be fully satisfied for the users who need mobile office typing. The back of the keyboard and the hand rest area are made of plush cloth material, which is very warm and skin friendly. Even if it is stained with dust, it is very easy to clean.

Let's look at the accessories of Remix. The Remix power adapter is made by Guande Technology. It is mature and has no defects such as cracks and burrs. The connecting cable is full of materials, and the attached Velcro is more beautiful. One end of the interface is also designed with magnetic suction. Just move the interface slightly, and the magnetic force will automatically attach the interface and the plate together, which is very convenient and convenient. The power adapter is slightly larger than the general mobile phone charger, and the weight difference is not much, so it is very easy to carry. Micro usb interface seems to be the standard configuration of Android tablet, but Remix conscientiously attached OTG cable, which is convenient for users to use. External USB disk, handle, mouse and other peripherals greatly improve the playability of tablet.

Press and hold the lock screen key to turn on the phone, and you can see the logo of Remix. The start screen of Remix is as simple and natural as its appearance. A good start is half the battle. When you enter the desktop home page, you will feel familiar and unfamiliar. At first glance, you may even think it is a Windows tablet. The bottom bar at the bottom is very similar to the bottom bar of the Windows operating system. Few Android tablets have a quick start item on the bottom bar. After starting a software program, the icon displayed on the bottom bar will also have a corresponding border change. In China, most computer users use the Windows system. It is conceivable that they will be easier to accept than other tablets in thought, and their behavior is also a seamless transition. In the Windows operating system desktop, the lower left corner is the start button, and the display desktop is a translucent button in the lower right corner; However, in Remix OS 1.0, the bottom left corner is the return key, and the right side of the return key is the home key. The button at the bottom right corner can be a menu interface for task management. In this way, the traditional Android "three button customer" is optimized, and task management is added, making the user experience of Android tablet more comfortable than before. Remix OS 1.0 is based on 4.4.2 of Android deep customization version. Although I didn't eat the 5.0 lollipop, the deep optimization of the desktop and system by Remix OS is not simple. I really felt the beauty of IOS.

There is a "Jide" logo on the right side of the quick start bar, which is also the essence of Remix. It can be divided into two parts, the current application and memory cleaning. Full screen mode switching to mobile screen mode is the selling point of Remix. In many cases, we have to use mobile software programs on the tablet, which is a common problem on Android tablets. After all, most software application development is based on mobile phones, and the lack of Android tablet software programs is not a solution for a while. Remix engineers took this into consideration for users and solved this problem perfectly. If the software you install is suitable for mobile phones, the default software size of the system is the mobile phone version, and the screen will display a window the size of the mobile phone, so that multiple software can be displayed on the same interface, which is very convenient to use. You can chat while watching news, and you can also cut your hands at the same time. It has a special flavor. Remix tablet is very suitable for multitasking. If you feel uncomfortable, you can switch to full screen mode, which is more suitable for mobile office and video entertainment. This new experience is almost the same as the desktop operating system.

The consistent operation of Android is to pull down to call up the status bar and shortcut setting bar. The display effect of frosted glass is ideal. Each program only uses one notification area. There are a number of messages on the right. Click to pop up all the message contents of the program. Switch to the right and the modular settings like Windows Phone will appear. The diversity of colors highlights the small and fresh style of Remix. I habitually clicked the setting page, and the double column setting is the classic Android tablet layout, just like the Blue Devil i9 Android tablet system I am currently using, but the overall picture is more detailed. The developer option is also hidden in the settings, where you can meet your different needs and see the structure of the page. Remix has added Miracast wireless projection function and print service, and has made a separate configuration interface in settings. It is believed that Remix can also occupy a place in the mobile office field in the near future.

Remix OS 1.0 is based on Android 4.4.2

There are not many built-in software for Remix, but the built-in software is practical and basically required for daily use. The interface icons are optimized to look beautiful, very similar to the flat Win10 style. Remix's own programs are displayed on the main page, and all third-party programs are on the second page of the right slide. They can be uninstalled freely without any mandatory binding. I hope the manufacturer can continue to maintain them. Most of the built-in software is displayed in a tree structure, which is a complete desktop system mode. The calendar is the same, but it is considerate to add festivals and the lunar calendar. What impressed me was that, Remix's own browser accesses NAS through the intranet. Generally, Android machines jump to the login interface of the Android version of Synology. The difference is that Remix enters the same page as the Windows operating system, which can be used more fully in terms of functions. Remix has a good grasp of details, and from the perspective of user experience, it really solves the common problem of Android tablets.

Remix focuses on mobile office, and large-scale games should also be able to run. After testing Wild Racing 8, the default image quality of the game is high. When you first entered the game to select a level, it was slightly stuck, but after you entered the game, it ran smoothly. The large tablet has a little strength to play the gravity sensing game. It is better to connect the OTG and the Bluetooth handle to play freely. It is an old horse with a good track record and can easily win the first place. Small games naturally have no problem, Angry Birds 2 also shot very smoothly.

If you are still not satisfied, let's run a score to see the evaluation of Anthare. The high frequency A15 has strong single core performance and multi tasking. The early powerful graphics core seems to be somewhat outdated, but it performs well.

The Remix tablet HTML5 test reached 9000 points, and the storage speed was still strong. The memory reading speed reached 118.10MB/s, the writing speed was 61.27MB/s, and the memory speed was 3279.40MB/s.

In my opinion, the camera of the tablet is used for business talks or remote video. It would be very silly to take a picture with a tablet on the road. In pursuit of higher picture quality, you can choose a SLR camera. If it is convenient to take pictures, you'd better use your mobile phone. So I don't have such high requirements for a tablet camera. Five million pixels is moderate, not big or small, just enough.

The color effect taken by the camera is relatively light

Then compare the screen display test. From top to bottom, the Remix, Blue Devil i9 and Sony MT15i are listed. All the machine screens are set to the maximum brightness.

Technotech has brought a super tablet called Remix. The Remix OS, which is deeply customized based on the Android system, has greatly improved my impression of Android in terms of user experience, Remix fully enjoys the support of Android's powerful resources. It takes the essence and discards the dross. It can basically replace notebook computers in mobile office. Android has enhanced Remix's playability in entertainment.

When I got the product, I didn't upgrade it immediately, because the system was the original flavor of Remix when it left the factory, and the other reason was that I was afraid of trouble. I updated an Android tablet that was officially pushed to a well-known manufacturer in China. Because the system version was unstable, it was constantly restarted, and forced brushing couldn't solve it. Finally, I had to return to the factory, To my surprise, what came back to me was still unable to start the machine, so I had to return to the factory again. It took a month to complete the two trips.
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. Fortunately, there were no mistakes in the process of upgrading Remix OS 1.0 to 1.5 two days ago. I successfully ate the Android 5.0 lollipop, and many functions were just perfect. For example, the pull-down menu was integrated again, making it more beautiful; The flattening mode is more thorough, and the details are more beautiful; Add the top setting and free stretching of program window in mobile phone mode; The software adaptation has also been enhanced. The problem that the top bar of Netease Cloud Music was blocked before has also been solved. The software runs smoothly. I hope that Remix OS can be compatible with more Android devices in the future, and I can eat more delicious marshmallow Android 6.0.

Upgrading is risky, and data needs to be backed up

During the two-week experience, I found a few problems, which should be mentioned more or less here. After all, this is a product of a start-up company and needs continuous improvement. Apart from the normal working hours, we played in detail at night and on weekends. Once when we played Parkour in the vertical screen, we got stuck. On the main page of the game, we called out the hidden bottom bar, and clicked the right side to end the program. As a result, we got stuck. After pressing the lock screen key to lock the screen, we unlocked it again and directly came up with a stuck interface. With my many years of experience in playing the machine, we pressed the lock screen key to force restart, Since then, no similar event has occurred. I hope to constantly improve the compatibility of the system and software by updating the system. After all, it handles multiple tasks. 2GB is the standard configuration of Android tablets at present, but some mobile phones have been equipped with 3GB, so we also hope to improve the memory. With the update of Remix OS 1.5, it never happens again. Even when multiple windows are open, there will be no jamming.


I used to be stuck here, but I can still take a screenshot


Let's talk about the problem of the screen. The black edge is moving, and the screen frame is too wide. This is also a test of design and technology. For users who are used to narrow border mobile phones and laptops, it is still a bit awkward. When XPS13 was released at the beginning of the year, this feature alone won acclaim.

When the music is playing, there are a few pop sounds. The Blue Devil i9 on hand also has similar pop sounds. I believe this is a test for domestic tablet manufacturers.


Remix Popping


The Home key of the "JIDE" logo at the bottom of the screen has a high probability of being touched by mistake. After all, it is in the middle. Occasionally adjust the position, and you may press it when you pick it up. The layout of keyboard keys is based on the traditional Windows pattern, which can be changed more when used on Android. The "three key users" who use more times can be larger, and the location can be slightly closer to the middle. It is not convenient to go from far to far. In addition, some keys occasionally fail, and can be used again after reconnecting the keyboard.

The USB flash disk is used for OTG transfer. Is there no safe pop-up option in the settings? Does this mean that you can pull out the USB stick directly? This function is available in the ES file manager.


No USB flash disk related information is found in the settings


The USB flash disk can be ejected from the ES Manager

One thing that worries me is the OTG adapter. The tablet is laid horizontally, and the Micro USB connector is on the right. Connecting the OTG adapter to other USB accessories is very abrupt. This load-bearing design is not very ideal. After a long time of use, the Micro USB interface will be loose, and then the contact will be poor.


OTG converter seems a little long

Although the opening/closing bracket is made of aluminum alloy made of aviation materials, it feels unstable when contacted at the folded place, and it will shake with a little effort.


Folding parts are not stable

The Remix weighs 810g, most of which are lithium batteries. The battery is 8100mAh, which is saturated for tablet computers. But in the two weeks of experience, it is basically charged once a day or twice a day. I hope it can improve the power consumption of Remix, optimize the processing method of the system program, and improve the battery life. In addition, the indoor temperature in Guangzhou is about 29 degrees in summer. After watching the video for a while, the back of the tablet has become seriously hot. It's OK to put it on the table, but it really becomes a "hand warmer" when you hold it on your hand.

Some cameras are seriously heated

On the back of the panel, open the bracket, and you can see the nameplate information of the panel "Beijing Jide Technology Co., Ltd." It's not the same word. I was once worried that it was pirated, but Baidu is pointing to the same company. Think about it later, it may be a translation or some hidden rules to avoid. I hope the name can also be unified, so that users won't have to worry about it.

"Beijing Jide Technology Co., Ltd."

As an illegitimate son of Google, Remix is very powerful in terms of customization degree and potential. Personally, Remix is still optimistic. On the whole, Remix is very satisfied with this tablet. Whether in terms of excellent workmanship or innovative and thoughtful system optimization, it shows that this team is seriously working on products, Remix let me see the scalability of Android, but after all, there is nothing that can not be copied on Android. I sincerely hope that the Techno team can continue to adhere to this creative idea and bring more and better products to consumers.
