Although I don't have a child at present, having a child is just a matter of the past two years. As a father to be of the post-80s generation, I certainly hope that his child will be more exposed to electronic products from birth. After all, today's society is inseparable from digital products and the Internet in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, but like everyone else, I am also very worried about mobile phones The negative impact of electronic products such as tablets on children, such as children who have no sense of time to play with mobile phones, can't stop playing; There is no doubt that various fees will be deducted in the process of playing the game; Sitting posture does not affect vision; Watch or touch software or content that is not suitable for children. Because of this, giving children access to digital products has become a headache. When I saw the introduction of "Xiaoxi Machine" on the "Lei Feng Trial", I felt that the product features introduced by this product could just solve the above-mentioned problems. It's a great honor for "Lei Feng Trial" to choose me to experience this product. Next, I would like to share my experience of Xiaoxi Robot in the past few days.

Packaging and appearance

Since the cartoon pattern positioned on the outer package of children's robots is of course essential, cartoon girls are happy to use the video function of "Xiaoxi", plus the decorative pattern of red gift belt, which can not only let consumers understand the main functions of "Xiaoxi" at the first time, but also quickly capture children's hearts.

Special thanks to the trial products provided by "Lei Feng Trial" and "Xiaoxi Technology".

Accessories in the packing box: a Xiaoxi host, a mic usb data cable, a 1A charger, and a manual.

The overall appearance is a sitting kitten. The "cat face" is embedded with a 7-inch IPS touch display screen with a resolution of 1280 * 800. In addition, the overall weight of the base is slightly heavier, which can be difficult for children under 5 years old to move. However, the slightly heavier weight can also prevent children from accidentally touching. The two soft ears and the golden "mouth" on the top of the cat's face have red, green and blue lighting effects.

The lighting effect is mainly used to indicate the power state, and can also be changed with the screen saver.

As a parent's point of view, I think that the "ear" material is slightly hard and the angle is too sharp, which may cause damage to children's eyes. I hope the manufacturer can improve the design here.

The golden "Cat Mouth" is actually the "Return" function key of Xiaoxi Robot. In addition to this physical key, the system also has a virtual suspension function key similar to the IOS system.

The front camera, light sensor and distance sensor are embedded at the top.

Excluding the base, the thickness of the side of the "Year of the Cat" is normal.

The whole cat face has about 25 ° space for adjustment. Although the angle is small, it is better than nothing, it is still convenient to watch to some extent.

The back looks more like a squatting cat shaped piggy bank. The long black slot is actually the external audio port of Xiaoxi Robot.

From top to bottom, there are reset key, on key, rear camera and horn.

It seems that the round tail can't be unscrewed only for decoration. Below the tail is the mic port for charging and data transmission.

The dense exposed screw holes at the bottom slightly affect the beauty. The black part is the anti slip strip, and the anti slip effect is very obvious when placed on the glass desktop. The white part may be the location where the SIM card or memory card will be inserted in the future. Since the fixing screw is a hexagon screw, I haven't opened it yet.

System and software

From the test results of Android Rabbit, the system of Xiaoxi Robot is a XIUI customized based on Android 4.2, with a very simple overall style. The factory interface is only the two main interfaces shown in the dynamic diagram above, plus a customized "Xiaoxi Settings", there are three interfaces. In the two main pages, the video function occupies a large space of an interface. I believe that children at home should be very easy to use this system.

The mobile APP interface used by adults is similar to that of the host computer. The interface is very simple. It takes only a few minutes to get familiar with it for the first time. The mobile terminal software is mainly used to initiate video passing with the host terminal; Remote control host end locking and locking time setting are two important functions.

Functional features and testing

one Hardware test

The official nominal hardware parameter of Xiaoxi is CPU: four core 1.3GHz, RAM：1G，ROM：8G， An rabbit X was used to evaluate and randomly scored a score of 15882, which is only an entry-level score for traditional tablet products. However, the main users of Xiaoxi are children. If too many apps are not installed on Xiaoxi, the overall running smoothness of Xiaoxi can meet the needs.

two Operation difficulty

The previous introduction of the news XIUI also explained roughly that because the Xiaoxi system is extremely simple (only two main pages), the pre installed APP for children only has two options: "one button video call" and "Bewa Early Education School", and the setting page has almost no settable items, Children usually only use simple screen sliding and pressing the return key to perform simple operations. Without installing other APPs, the operation mode of Xiaoxi Robot can be said to be simpler than that of ordinary tablet computers.

three Man machine dialogue

According to the official expression of Xiaoxi, "Call" Hello Xiaoxi "to start the AI dialogue system." In fact, after actual use, to wake up the voice function, you need to manually click the "microphone" icon on the virtual button before entering the voice recognition function. I tested speech recognition in Sichuan dialect and Putonghua, which are very slow. I also said, "Play Pull Radish". Putonghua can accurately recognize and automatically start playing music, while the "Play Pull Radish" in Sichuan dialect is recognized as "Bofan Pull Radish". At this time, the system enters the Baidu search interface by default. In addition, the voice recognition function of Xiaoxi has been tested to give feedback, such as the date of tomorrow, the weather conditions in XX City, playing nursery rhymes and popular music, simple voice arithmetic (for example, 18 times 25 is equal to several, and the square of 3 is equal to several, etc.), and simple human-computer dialogue (for example, ask it "Are you bright" and it answers "Of course beautiful"). But after a try, it seems that Xiaoxi doesn't have an alarm clock function, and the function of setting an alarm clock with voice cannot be realized.

four Prevent myopia (distance sensing)

When children watch programs on the tablet, they can't help watching them closely. The distance reminder function on Xiaoxi's robot can play a great role at this time. After testing with the teddy bear on hand, when the distance is about 15cm away from Xiaoxi, the screen will display the distance passing screen and also play a voice of "Please don't get too close" to remind the viewer to keep distance. Judging from the use effect in recent days, the appearance of prompt voice has a delay of about 5 seconds, and the overall prompt rate is still very high.

five One click video

Through the "one button video" function on the host end of Xiaoxi and the same function on the mobile phone end, we can simply and quickly initiate calls between the two sides. I feel that there are two problems that need special explanation during the use of these days. 1. If the "Xiaoxi" APP on the mobile phone is not open or in the background state when the host end calls the mobile phone, we cannot receive voice initiation prompts, That is to say, if you don't want to miss the call from the host, the mobile APP must be running in the background. 2. The mobile phone end calls the host end, and the host end will automatically answer and start the session after 5 seconds of normal connection, while the opposite direction does not have this function. In addition, the official manual indicates that the camera is 2 million pixels, and the actual video image quality is barely clear. During the call, the mobile terminal can take video screenshots, which must be very practical for parents who want to take pictures of their children during the video, but the host terminal does not have this function.

six Remote control and locking function

The biggest enemy of digital products for children is playing addiction. At this time, the "locking function" of Xiaoxi Robot can perfectly solve the problem. The "good habits" interface on the mobile phone can launch cartoon images such as "get up", "eat", "brush teeth", etc. When each picture appears, it will tell the children what to do at this time, Parents can set the locking time of corresponding images on the mobile phone, such as half an hour for "eating", two hours for "sleeping", and three hours and 59 minutes for each image. However, unfortunately, Xiaoxi only has the locking function but has no reservation function for the time being. For example, when it is time to go to bed from 1:00 to 2:30 noon, the Xiaoxi host will be locked automatically. I hope the manufacturer will add this function later.

seven Cartoon screensaver

Cartoon like screensaver pictures are also a powerful tool for Xiaoxi to attract children. In addition to two kinds of eye like screensaver shapes, there are also 7 and 8 animal expression screensaver action pictures that will be played in scrolling mode.

eight Combine education with pleasure

Toys that can teach and have fun are good toys. There are video content such as "Babies Learn Chinese Characters", "English Paradise" and other knowledge imparting videos on the app of Little Western Sports School, which can help children get some knowledge when watching programs. Although there are few on the app at present, they are all free to watch, so it is unclear whether they will start charging later.

nine Endurance and expansion

Endurance and expansion are also two important functions. Because it is not easy to provide pictures, let's talk about our feelings here. The first is the endurance. The original 5V 1A charger is used to charge the Xiaoxi host for about two and a half hours. The whole charging process takes a little longer, but the problem of too long charging time is only a small defect. The test standby time is the Anthare hardware test APP. After two hours of operation: browsing the web, playing audio video, CUP slow load calculation and other four projects, the remaining power of Xiaoxi is about 15%. Such performance may be poor for ordinary mobile phones or tablets, but considering that Xiaoxi is located in children, it is not a problem to play for a day or two without watching videos for a long time. The issue of expansion must also be of concern to everyone. Although there is no browser and software installation market in the host system, after connecting Xiaoxi to the computer with a data cable, you can install third-party software for it through "App Store" or other computer terminal mobile phone connection software. In this way, Xiaoxi's function of education and entertainment will be enhanced. However, after several software tests have been installed, some of the software is displayed in vertical screen on Xiaoxi, and no solution has been found for the time being.

  summary

advantage

one One button video function is very practical for children, so they can see their parents without complicated operations.

two The addition of distance sensing can save children a lot of worry when using Xiaoxi, and no longer need to remind children to pay attention to distance at any time.

three With direct connection to WIFI, there is no need to worry about the inexplicable deduction of fees after children play with mobile phones.

four It is also an advantage that the host cannot download applications. You don't need to worry about children playing games. Of course, if adults want to use Xiaoxi for entertainment, they can also install applications through computers.

five Regardless of the price, Xiaoxi's screen parameters and display effect are pretty good.

shortcoming

one The price is slightly expensive. At present, the price of 1499 on Lei Feng.com is not acceptable to everyone.

two There are too few pre fabricated education and entertainment software, which is a little insufficient for products targeting children users.

three The endurance is a little short. I hope the manufacturer can optimize it.

four There is only locking function but no reservation function. I hope the manufacturer can add this function later.

five When the mobile phone and the console are in the same room, the harsh echo is very strong. If they are in different rooms, this is not the case.

six Personally, I think the weight of the whole machine is slightly heavy, and it may not be convenient for young children to handle it.

seven There is no fully matched screen protective film on the market. I hope the manufacturer can send more screen protective films when they leave the factory.
