Xiaomi has been working hard on mobile phones this year, and another blockbuster product, Xiaomi TV, has also been updated. In addition to the flagship product, Xiaomi TV 3, the sales focused Xiaomi TV 3S also arrived as scheduled. This time, we received a 48 inch Xiaomi TV 3S with a price of RMB 1999. How is its actual performance?
Unpacking and installation
After removing the wooden frame protected during transportation, the body of Xiaomi TV 3S can be removed. In terms of packaging, foam is used for buffer protection, and the 48 inch screen is not small. At least two people are required to complete the unpacking process.
There are TV installation instructions and tips on the back, which are easy to tear off, so that users can easily remove them. The bracket is placed on both sides with foam space and plastic packaging.
All the accessories are stored in the long strip accessory box, which is arranged neatly. All accessories include remote control x 1, screwdriver x 1, antenna isolator adapter x 2 and screw x 5.
In order to support the weight of the TV, the bracket is made of metal. The installation process is not difficult. Insert it at the correct position, and then use the screwdriver in the accessory to tighten the screws. If users want to hang the TV on the wall, they need to contact the staff of Xiaomi.
According to the official statement of Xiaomi, the 48 inch Xiaomi TV 3S uses a brushed metal back, brushed and drilled metal frame. The texture is good, but the beauty is up to the user.
The label paper is printed with information such as model, manufacturer, voltage, power consumption, product S/N number, etc. The plug still uses the traditional design. However, as a large household appliance, Xiaomi TV still has room for improvement.
The rear left side is a collection of all interfaces. As shown in the figure above, from left to right are USB3.0, USB2.0, HDMI x 2, S/PDIF, AV interface, antenna and network cable interface.
There is the logo of Xiaomi in the center of the lower front frame, and the only button of the whole machine - the power button - is at the bottom. It has a large contact area and a good feel.
Open the box and end with a complete front photo. To be honest, from the front, Xiaomi TV 3S has a good appearance, and the bracket part acts as a green leaf for embellishment. I can't appreciate the brushed back, but it's OK to look at the front.
Practical experience
Officially, the 48 inch Xiaomi TV 3S screen is an original Samsung LCD screen, and the backlight is a bottom side entry LED independently developed by Xiaomi and manufactured by Ruixuan, with a resolution of 1920x1080, a viewing angle of 178 °, and a static contrast of 4000:1.
Using the software to test, the average Δ E is 9.7, and the color temperature is 11170K, which is similar to the actual appearance, with an obvious tendency of cooling. The color mixing is also similar to Samsung's AMOLED screen, which is more colorful. On the whole, it seems to be in order, without particularly surprising performance, above the average level.
It covers 98.3% of the sRGB color gamut, and the maximum brightness is more than 300 nits. However, considering that the use scene is indoors, this brightness is enough. Look at the price in 1999, we don't want it too high.
The system is a familiar MIUI TV version, which cooperates with Galaxy in terms of content. There are rich choices in TV dramas, movies, variety shows, children's programs, etc. In terms of online resources, it also cooperates with iQIYI to launch member services. If you want to see the latest movies and other programs at the first time, you are suggested to pay for them.
But this time, the hardware and system stability of Xiaomi TV 3S had to complain. The hardware part is a 1.45GHz Mstar 6A908 Cortex-A9 quad core processor+Mali-450 MP4+1GB DDR3 RAM+8GB eMMC 4.5 ROM, which is the same as the 40 inch Xiaomi TV 2 of that year. The memory is still 0.5G less. Anthare also mistook it for Xiaomi TV 2, and the displayed hardware parameters are slightly different.
During the test, the system version was the latest 1.2.6 stable version, with the word "stable" in its name. There were many problems in actual use. There is a greater chance to flash back when browsing the list of movies and TV plays. Fortunately, there is no flash back problem when playing. Also because of instability, it is likely to encounter the situation of the last two pictures when taking screenshots, or only half of the information can be intercepted, or it is not a completely black picture. It is not clear whether it is the specific situation of our prototype or the problem of this version of firmware, but Xiaomi really needs to pay attention.
Another slot is the smart home on Xiaomi TV. Originally, I thought it could be linked with Xiaomi's mobile phone or other Xiaomi devices. After logging into Xiaomi's account, I found that it was just a built-in shopping advertising page. I suggested that Xiaomi could enhance its functions.
Now that I have finished speaking, I also want to mention the advantages here. With the help of Xiaomi TV, we launched an app that can turn the mobile phone into a remote control or game controller through LAN connection. It does not need infrared support and is very convenient for daily use.
Moreover, this app carries the small ambition of Xiaomi's ecology. It is not only a simple remote control, but also an entrance to entertainment and internet. The synchronous broadcast history, film and television recommendation, and local players are also gathered together, and can also be projected onto Xiaomi TV. At this time, the film and television resources of Mango. com are used.
summary
The conventional upgraded Xiaomi TV 3S has shrunk compared with the configuration of Xiaomi TV 2. However, considering its price in 1999, the appropriate increase or decrease is understandable, provided that the actual experience is not affected. It's a pity that many problems occurred due to the instability of the system. Xiaomi, who started with MIUI, needs to pay attention to it and not let the famous system become a stumbling block. The projection screen artifact launched for Xiaomi Ecology has a good experience in all aspects, but I hope the advertisement will not spoil it.
