Meizu box performance how?

Some people say that the emergence of TV boxes has given traditional non-smart TVs a second life, enabling them to be independent of Internet TV, and that they can also remain uniquely low-priced and portable. When OTT Boxes appeared on the market two or three years ago, no one would expect that there will be such an astonishing development. From resource to performance to value, smart TV boxes have basically been in the first two areas. Saturated.

The number of Meizu's marching into the TV box is still somewhat bizarre, but the Meizu still maintains a certain degree of freedom and high degree of recognition in product design. The Meizu box gives a tangible first impression. Not to mention the performance, resources, and playability of the box. From the perspective of the exterior structure and corner design, the Meizu box has a slightly special design, and it can still capture the eyes of many people. (Note: This experience machine is an engineering black prototype)

Meizu box out of the box evaluation + figure tour

As you can see, the Meizu box is small in size and looms about the size of a palm. The whole body is a white or black plastic material in a global shape, rounded and equilateral triangular, and the body is polished through a bright surface. At first, the author thought that the top bright surface effect was glass material and the like. When the finger struck the surface, the typical dull sound would tell you that this thing is still plastic, but this does not affect the overall perception, placed on the desktop , quite mentioning gas, do not know that this is a certain expansion dock.

Interface, Meizu box performance quite satisfactory, in addition to a power connector, also supports USB interface, network cable interface and the main output screen HDMI interface, yes, no AV interface, bonus accessories in addition to manual warranty card, a remote control (with There is a pair of 7 size batteries) and the power adapter also has an HDMI video cable.

In addition to the polished front polished surface and interface, the streamlined design was added to the side. The center of the front face is the Meizu logo. At the same time, this is also a physical opening key. It is set in the center and emits a blue light when it is turned on. If you don't look at the package and don't look at the back of the interface, it wouldn't even think of it as a TV box.

Flyme has been at the forefront of domestic ROM after several years of development. The flat icons of practical UI interaction and logos have made many kerosene sticky. However, after the hardware transfer, Flyme TV has a Flyme aura and Inherent advantages, but still young in the new field.

Meizu box UI interface system trial introduction

Flyme TV is also deeply customized based on Android 6.0. It inherits the flattened system architecture design without reservation, but it is logically different from the Flyme featured in the mobile terminal. The whole is two words: simple.

To boot, you need to pair the remote control and connect to WiFi. After entering the home screen after booting, the screen is the same. The operating threshold for use with the remote control is low, and ordinary users are relatively easy to use.

The home-level design is very clean, there is no redundant secondary menu, basically all in the form of blocks, logic is clear. For example, the most popular TV dramas, movies, animations, variety shows, etc. are updated at the top. The area selected by remote control will appear in a floating form and be slightly larger than other equal size blocks. The homepage is the same, the color is light, and the Flyme's light taste makes it easy to distinguish from the UI of other boxes. The Meizu retains more youthful colors.

The bottom is the application store and some system built-in applications. When considering the box as a home, Meizu introduced some unique and family-appropriate applications, especially for children’s education, such as “Beva” and “Ye”. "Flat time" is also suitable for fitness and entertainment "Fit time", more suitable for common home users.

From the point of view of the distribution of people using television boxes by people around the author at present, many home users still use boxes, and the proportion of basic projectors used in the company or teaching is heavier. In their eyes, the cost of buying a TV box is much lower than that of Internet TV. Actually, it is always a priority to choose a TV box, especially if there are many non-smart LCD TVs around. The TV box can basically meet the daily needs. It is like the camera of the original factory switching camera. The experience has gone up and the cost has been greatly reduced. The TV box serves as a similar role.

Meizu box built-in resources introduction

The license plate of the Meizu Box is CIBN, which means that this box has a wealth of video resources to provide viewing. In addition to the TV series, movies, variety shows in the middle of the front page, CIBN also provides many sports events, in addition to the popular Champions League, La Liga, In addition to the live broadcast and recording of these ball games, WWE competitions favored by some young people are also offered. In addition to the official game content, CIBN Sports also provides real-time news information on similar sports events. Can meet the needs of the fans to understand news and current affairs.

In addition to CIBN Sports launched for sports enthusiasts, the content resources of the built-in Yuet TV special items are even more abundant, covering popular domestic and foreign movies and TV dramas. However, certain film sources need to be opened for viewing by members, and users who pay will have more. Multiple viewing rights, such as the ability to watch more episodes in the case of an episode that is updated daily, or to see advance notice in advance, is the same for traditional video sites.

In terms of content resources, Sohu, Youku, excellent friends Pollock and PPTV four video resource content are also supported, so ordinary users like the author can at least meet the requirements of my viewing requirements on the episode, and all the categories are clearly classified. Different age groups of users.

Meizu box operation performance measurement introduction

On the hardware configuration, the Meizu box is still very conservative, and the configuration is even a bit out of date. As a fledgling effort to enter the TV box, Meizu would like to give users the best processor, but it is different from the SoC level of mobile phones. The quad-core Cortex A53 is used as the mainstream processor of smart TVs, and can fully take care of daily performance in performance. Run smoothly and even easily handle some small and medium sized entertainment games. The CPU and mali-450GPU of the quad-core Cortex A53 equipped by the Meizu box have not much difference in the overall processor performance compared to other TV boxes, but Meizu's approach is not as aggressive as high-frequency CPU and large memory. The heuristic choice of the Cortex A53 and 1GB of memory is a balanced decision for both performance and price. At the same time, in the case of taking care of multiple applications at the same time, the video source can still be smoothly switched. Therefore, in the smart era where the performance of the hardware is excessive, the hardware is far from deciding everything. The manufacturers' hardware and software optimization is good. Naturally, the masses are willing to pay for this, and this is also the Meizu need to constantly improve.

In addition, the standard Bluetooth remote control also supports voice recognition control function, the operation mode is similar to the ordinary voice assistant, but the process needs to press and hold the voice button, this way eliminates the process of manually inputting the search content, greatly reducing the user Frequently manually inputting the number of texts, but temporarily can only present the search result after the voice input, such as the author's voice input "play list", the system displays the interface as shown in the following figure after receiving the command, and does not directly enter the play. set. If you are a loyal user of Bianxi or Siri, when you experience the speech recognition input on the TV, you still expect that the experience can still be synchronized with the mobile phone. After all, when the user's operating habits and stickiness arise, this need It is inevitable. Of course, I still believe that this kind of idea can appear one after another in the future system update, but for the Meizu, it has already played a very good head.

Compared to the mobile phone industry, Meizu’s ambitious horizons in the field of accessories have allowed us to see that in addition to mobile phones, Meizu has the confidence and ability to make popular consumer products, and it will always maintain a relatively gentle The market price comes to consumers. Although Flyme TV still has some deficiencies in the experience, it is believed that in the future, system updates will also bring more people to use sticky features.
