With the advent of a new round of smart hardware entrepreneurship boom, a variety of smart hardware products have sprung up like mushrooms. These products generally make a big deal in "innovation", giving people a feeling of "chaos is becoming more attractive", including some products that are eye-catching. Today, I will introduce a new smart speaker product, It is Xiaojia touch screen smart speaker newly launched by Kuanyang Technology. Different from traditional speaker products, it has a 7-inch touch screen and built-in Android 5.1 system. Users can run various Android APPs through the built-in intelligent system. By clicking the touch screen, they can realize various functions such as listening to music, watching video, playing games, online shopping, video chat, etc. Is it amazing? Now let's have a try.

This trial product is provided by Jimi Technology. Thank you in advance. In fact, you can see some clues from Xiaojia's packing box. This is a "crossover work" that is absolutely different from the traditional speaker. The shape of the speaker is printed directly on the rectangular box. From the shape, this speaker is more like a flat plate with two small speakers outside. Let's open the package to explore how it works.

In the power off state, the front of Xiaojia speakers looks very harmonious and unified. The black metal mesh covers outside the speaker units on both sides and the large dark screen maintain a good unity. The arc edges on both sides of the body make the whole body more flexible. If you have good eyes, you should be able to see that there is a camera in the middle right above the screen.

From another angle, you will find that the design of the back of Xiaojia's fuselage is more rounded. The shell material treated by the piano paint baking process is very delicate and smooth, and the white background color is also simple and generous. The manufacturer has also designed a groove that is convenient for users to carry, which must be praised; On the top of the fuselage, there are three physical buttons, namely, the On/Off button, the Volume Up button and the Volume Down button.

All of Xiaojia's interfaces are ingeniously designed in the lower back groove. From left to right, there are power input, audio output port, HDMI output port, USB interface, TF card slot and reset hole. Some small partners may wonder why an HDMI port should be designed for a speaker product? In fact, just think about it. With it, your Xiaojia can be used as an Internet TV box. For example, if you connect Xiaojia to an LCD TV, your TV will become a smart TV.

We flip Xiaojia's whole body onto the desktop, and you can see that Xiaojia's shape is really round and shaped, which is similar to a semicircular arc curve. There are three blue strip shaped anti slip strips at the bottom of the speaker. Don't underestimate this design. When the speaker is placed on a smooth desktop, they can effectively prevent the speaker from sliding.

At the end of unpacking, let's introduce Xiaojia's own accessories, including user's manual, power adapter, USB cable and remote control. The latter two are optional. Some children may wonder why they want to use the remote control when they see it here? Of course, it is more convenient to operate the speaker. Suppose you are at the bedside and Xiaojia is on the table. What should you do if you want to adjust the volume or switch songs? With a remote control, you can control Xiaojia as you like. In fact, this infrared remote control has many functions.

Gently click the on/off button on the top of the speaker to open the speaker. From the word "android" in the boot screen, you can see that the built-in system of Xiaojia smart speaker is Android system. Xiaojia's boot speed is relatively fast. It takes about 15 seconds to get into the desktop.

At this time, we can see that the seven inch multi-point touch screen configured by Xiaojia smart speakers looks quite impressive. The desktop UI adopts a magnetic tile design, and the color matching is very bright. The resolution of this touch screen is 1024X600 pixels, and the display effect is more exquisite, and the color restoration ability is also good. In fact, in addition to this eye-catching large screen, Xiaojia also has a micro core RK3128 quad core processor, 1GB storage, 8GB internal storage space, a front facing 300000 pixel camera and Bluetooth 4.0 support. Apart from its shape, this is an Android tablet.

In fact, Xiaojia has two built-in UIs, one is the secondary developed tile desktop, and the other is the Android native desktop. Users can choose their own desktop style suitable for their use habits. However, Xiao Bian still prefers the magnetic tile desktop, which looks very attractive and tidy, and is more suitable for operation, especially for the elderly and children.

However, it seems that the secondary development of the Android system carried by Xiaojia is not deep enough. In addition to the desktop, many other places are also Android native system UI. Although some users have a natural affinity for Android native system, However, I still think that if we can design and develop a complete set of UI suitable for speakers based on the native system, it will greatly improve the user's operating experience.

The system has its own app store, which has a relatively rich variety of applications, basically covering all aspects of users' daily use, such as music, video, news, social networking, etc. In addition, there are special categories of women, preschool education, health and other characteristics, taking into account the different needs of users of different ages and strata.

The system itself has built-in various kinds of rich applications, such as music is cool dog music, video is VST full aggregation, weather is weather, JD, Meilishuo, etc. Of course, users can also install various apps to meet their personalized needs.

I have never watched a video on a speaker before, which is really a feeling. The body design of Xiaojia speakers fully takes into account the user's demand for watching videos. When the body is placed on the desktop, it will be at an elevation of 30 degrees with the desktop. This angle is very suitable for the user's demand for screen angle when watching videos. Of course, if you don't think Xiaojia's 7-inch screen is big enough, you can use Xiaojia's HDMI output function to connect Xiaojia's TV and even the projection of larger screens. Xiaojia will become an Internet TV box in seconds, and will not be affected by the harmonious policy of radio and television on the box.

Xiaojia has a built-in mobile phone QQ. In addition, Xiaojia also has a front camera. Therefore, it is very convenient for us to chat with family and friends via mobile phone QQ. You just need to put Xiaojia speakers on the table in front of you. You don't have to constantly adjust the angle with your hands like a mobile phone.

Although Xiaojia smart speakers have very rich functions, their product positioning is still speaker products. Xiaojia is also unambiguous in the speaker area. It is equipped with two 5W speakers, and the sound effect reaches the Hi Fi level, which is comparable to the speakers in the market at the price of 500~600 yuan. I used a decibel meter to test Xiaojia's maximum volume, which reached an astonishing 100.1 decibels. However, I don't recommend that you listen to music at such a high volume. Be careful of your next door neighbor! One of Xiaojia's shortcomings is that his bass performance is average, which may be related to the design of his voice cavity and the loudspeaker unit. However, Xiaojia is comfortable with daily music appreciation scenes.

As the saying goes, "more skills do not weigh on your body." Xiaojia is definitely your best helper. From the perspective of use scenarios, "Xiaojia" is widely used. Whether it is playing music and radio while working, resting or doing housework, morning alarm clock wake-up and weather forecast, or daily social interaction, video conversation, etc. The built-in HDMI interface also supports high-definition video output, and the free video function can also provide content sources for watching movies and TV when family members are reunited.

Is such a cross-border product your dish?
