Kaibul X5 TV box evaluation, this highlight let millet, Lynx box look

For a box enthusiast, September should be more than worthwhile. Kaibol, a veteran TV box maker, has another new product to be released in the near future. At present, looking at the box market, there has been no glory in previous years. From a hot industry, it slowly returned to peace. There are many brands that we have been familiar with have long disappeared, and some are still difficult to support, but it has been a long time without new products. Come out. Kai Bor still insists on the camp of this box, ten years is the same, there will be new products launched on a regular basis, this is not forgetting the initial heart!

Kai Boer's new model is the X5, is China's first 64-bit ten nuclear 4K TV box, equipped with 2G memory and 8G flash memory combination, 6-core GPU, based on Android 5.1 depth optimization QXUI (Qiuxiang UI) system, and equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, support voice control, infrared Bluetooth dual remote control, support 4K, Blu-ray, H.265, 3D decoding output, is a very strong product.

In terms of packaging, the Kaibor X5 still continues its style of predecessor. It can be said that the "1" is a combination of many highlight parameters.

The package contains one X5 host, one power adapter, one Bluetooth/infrared remote control, one HDMI HD cable, and several paper copies.

Randomly presented three membership cards: RMB 49 for the Yifang Education School monthly card, RMB 30 for the CIBN Friends Movie and Television member monthly card, and one RMB 128 for the “My name is MT2” TV version of the prepaid card. Although the actual value of these three cards is actually not much, it is enough to see Kaibol's sincerity.

In terms of appearance, X5 still uses the classic shape of the open Bor box, Founder type, dual antenna design, dark appearance with a silver edge decoration, it is very calm atmosphere, compared to the previous F8 and H10 is one more LED The display, although not much shown, is better than none.

On the back of the box, in addition to the antennas on both sides, from left to right are the AV video output interface, USB 2.0 interface, Fast Ethernet network interface, HDMI high-definition interface, power interface and physical power switch. These interfaces can basically meet the needs of most users, of course, for some HD enthusiasts, they want the box can have fiber, coaxial, USB3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, etc., but X5 is not a fever Grade TV box.

At the bottom of the box, there are four feet and two rows of fan-shaped cooling holes. In actual use, the cooling effect of the X5 is still good.

Dual remote control, this is a very special point of the open Bor X5, you can use it as one of the highlights of the X5.
Of course, some people will certainly feel very troublesome. I can only say that more choices are always better than single choices! The Bluetooth remote control needs to be coded in the initial state, and the code is on the back of the remote control package. I won't say much more. Compared with the infrared remote control, voice control is the biggest difference. In addition, the control range is also better than the infrared remote control, and the key is simplified. Infrared remote control has a learning function, which can be used to control the TV and player, and has a quick one-touch direct function. It can set on-demand and live broadcast, and the number keys also take advantage of some inputs. As the saying goes, each has its own strengths. As for how to choose, it varies from person to person!



Boot into the main interface, eye-catching is to open their own design QXUI (Qiu Xiang UI), and other boxes compared to the biggest difference should be "simple" it, compared to many boxes of multi-level menu, QXUI pay attention to Simple, lighter, and simpler to operate. Like the elderly and children at home, this system is easier to learn and easier to learn. The top floor of the home page is a circulating hot and popular film poster wall, and the following is a category menu of “Mango TV”. In “My Favorite”, a commonly used APP can be set.

The small rocket logo in the upper right corner can be set for regular cleaning so that the memory can be released on a regular basis to keep the box at its best.

The main interface pull-down menu We can add some of the most commonly used APP software as needed to achieve rapid start.

Sidebar Toolbox can enter the settings interface and some common functions, such as "children lock", "one-touch direct" and "multi-screen interactive" and so on.

The function of children's locks is still full and practical. It can effectively prevent children from opening some apps that parents do not want to open. As for what software they are, it varies from person to person.

For example, I have added child locks to on-demand software. If you want to watch TV, you must enter the password. However, after testing, I found that through the voice search can avoid the child lock restrictions, still can watch movies and television dramas, it is estimated to be a BUG, ​​so I reflect up, it should be repaired.

In the aspect of voice control, it is really convenient. Just press and hold the voice key on the Bluetooth remote control and say the name of the movie and TV drama you want to see and the name of the actor. And it is not a single search, but a full-web search. Basically, all platforms can search for resources. To be honest, this feature is really convenient, especially for those who have an elderly person at home and who do not have much literacy. For example, my mother, when she was a little child, she was not able to go to school because of her poor family. She didn’t recognize much of her words. Before she took several boxes for her downstairs, the result was that she wouldn’t use them, and she would not be able to accept literacy. Now that it's all right, just turn on the phone and say the name of the TV you want to watch. It's really great for the next mom, and I don't have to watch a half TV ad.

The same is true for live broadcasts, as long as the "HDP Live Streaming" software is installed, you can think of which station you want to talk about. The Central Government, the Central Six Units, Anhui Satellite TV, and Dragon TV want to see what it is. It is that simple.

In addition to on-demand movies and TV shows, X5's voice control can also interact with users to a certain extent, such as querying weather, stocks, or telling jokes.



This time, it also brought out a problem, that is, the problem of installing third-party software, Kaiboer X5 initial state is not comes with the software market, and because of the relevant policy reasons, the system defaults to the APP software, so you want to U disk installation software is also not feasible. However, Kaibol still left a back door for users. From the "custom APK installation" in the software list, we can create a "custom" folder in the U disk and put the software in the folder. APP installation.

As a TV box, a very important parameter that defines its strengths and weaknesses is "content", just as the previous two years when PC endpoint broadcast software shuffled and said: "Ebb and tear, content is king." As a box, if you do not have a huge amount of movie and television resources and relatively fast update speed, then sight will certainly be eliminated. Although it is said that as an Android box, you can install a lot of on-demand software, but from the experience of the past few years, non-genuine resources really do not fly, do not know that one day disappeared. Therefore, it was only when the backs of the trees were stable. The Kaibul X5 chose Mango TV as a resource provider. In addition, it was supplemented with other custom-installed video platforms, which greatly ensured the stability and choice of users' viewing videos.

On-demand resources are divided into categories, which is quite complete. There are not only the Super Qing area and the H265 area, but also some mango exclusive network premiere variety shows.

However, in the same way, if you want to obtain high-quality and stable viewing effects, it would be a bit difficult to get some money out this year. You see this full-screen "VIP" and I am drunk. I think at first, there are still several free and quality platforms, but I can't stand up to the above collections. Now it is the same as drilling into the eyes of money. It really hurts people.

As Hunan Satellite TV's network platform, we basically have no doubt about its resources and update rate. As long as you are willing to pay a monthly VIP membership fee of 30 yuan, it will inevitably provide you with a very thoughtful movie and television. Services, in addition to conventional movies, TV dramas, animations, music, etc., can be said to be the strengths of Mango TV in the variety show. Apart from the ever-burning "Quick" and "Daily," it will also have some kind of full-network premiere variety show. Programs, such as "We're Here"...

In addition to "Mango TV", the opener X5 also comes pre-loaded with "CIBN Friends", which is also a very good online on-demand software, also has a lot of video resources, more choices, more enjoy it! And don't send a membership card at random.



In terms of live broadcasting, the best choice is naturally “HDP Live Streaming”. It not only has many programs but also supports custom program listings. It also seamlessly connects with X5's voice control.

Kaibul X5 passed the “Anjutu Evaluation TV version” test and ran a score of 19206. To tell the truth, this score is still very unsatisfactory in my eyes. Now the mainstream box in the market is a shot of 3,400,000 yuan. X5 to 20,000 can only fall below the middle. From the detailed scores, we can see that the openness of the KBL X5 is in 3D, so it is said that it will not perform well in large-scale games and high-rate movies.

In the local high-definition playback, I conducted a preliminary test using the “Antu Bunny video evaluation”. Only 17 of the 30 video samples can be played normally, 12 are not fully supported, and 1 is not supported.

The sample file that cannot be played is a realvideo 4 encoded file. The F8 that was tested before this file cannot be played, but H10 can play normally.

Not fully supported in the list, mostly because the X5 does not support AC3 and DTS audio encoding and there is no sound, so if we use third-party software for audio soft solution of AC3 and DTS, X5 is played locally On the whole it's OK.

In terms of hardware configuration, Kaibol X5 uses a 64-bit 10 core, quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with 6-core Mali-450 GPU, 2G memory + 8G flash memory, for the TV box, the mainstream are 1G memory standard, So the X5's 2G memory can be said to stand out. However, the Cortex-A53 processor can be regarded as a mid-range product at present, but its power consumption is low but its performance is also flat, but it is still able to control 4K, H.265, Blu-ray, 3D, and other sources. During the testing process, I judged the decoding capability of X5 by playing a large number of 4K and H.265 film sources and videos in different formats. The final result was a moderately high score. Most of the common video formats, X5, are supported. Some of the more popular formats that cannot be played back, such as the evo format. In addition, in the 4K and H.265 tests, there are some high-rate chip sources that cannot be played.

In terms of audio, in addition to AC3 and DTS, some WAV, vqf, and WMA audio files are not supported and require third-party software support.





In addition to 4K and H.265, the X5 can play normally for most Blu-ray discs and Blu-ray ISO movies.

In the local playback, the X5 built-in player I personally feel is not very good, in many places in the operation does not meet the daily operating habits. In terms of function, it supports the adjustment of subtitles and audio tracks, as well as screen adjustments, 3D switching, etc. However, it is still somewhat human-friendly on the display. For example, the type of the subtitles, it is really problematic to distinguish which country language is.

In addition, I believe that many people will be more concerned about whether the X5 can play 4K 10bit 60Hz video files, although it is still a long time away from the popularity, but I am still very responsible to tell you that the X5 can not broadcast.

The open Bor X5 can correctly identify the partition on the display of the external storage device, but there is no way to identify the name of each partition. The unified display is “USB device”. This still needs improvement.

In terms of games, the Kaibol X5 can handle most TV games and can run smoothly, but if you want to play a relatively large 3D game, the X5 really has less than enough power. But then I think about it, there will be a few people will use TV boxes to play large-scale 3D games it! The most played should be landlords, playing mahjong and “my name is MT2” which is a simple and carefree casual game.

In addition to the game, how can we forget about the 49-Yuan Yifang Education membership card, which is really a very good educational software to be installed and searched through the "Sofa Manager". From prenatal education to middle school, it is suitable for all ages. The education resources also include some things that parents need to study. There are also daily live lessons, children's education, common sense of life, fitness shaping, and the knowledge is still wide. It is very suitable for parents and children to watch together.

In terms of early childhood education, many of them are the contents of the “Baby Bus” and are also the favorite things in my family’s Min Bao. The children’s songs, poetry, and some puzzle games are very good. My daughter basically Play on the tablet every day for a while.

Finally, let's take a look at the performance of the KBolle X5 in terms of power consumption and temperature! Under normal operating conditions, the power of the X5 floats around 3.55W, which is also considered to be very energy-efficient in the box. It is turned on for 1 month, which means that it is less than 3 kWh.

The general Android box, when you use the remote control to shut down, in fact, the box is in a standby state, which means that just the screen is off, in fact, is still running, so the power consumption is ongoing. The opener X5 can be completely turned off by the remote controller. It does not need to press the physical switch. The power at this time can be said to be zero. And when you want to boot, just press and hold the power switch.

In terms of temperature, X5 is also very good performance, of course, now the weather temperature is indeed not high, the point is basically maintained at 23,4 degrees at night, after the box is running for three hours, the maximum body temperature of 38 degrees, is regarded as good achievement.

Summary: After several days of trials, the impression that this open new X5 from Bork gave me is simple, convenient and responsive. Dual remote control design can meet the needs of different people for the box, Bluetooth voice control is a major highlight, the search speed is very fast, and the search is also very wide. The built-in "Mango TV" and "CIBN Friends" also provide a very rich video resources, although their VIP system more or less makes us feel a little dissatisfied, but the platform to provide you with quality content for compensation is also nothing wrong.

The local high-definition playback can only be regarded as a general performance at the test level, but it is still very satisfactory in the actual use process. For the moment, many resources are still only used during testing. On the whole, the Kaibol X5 is a very good home entertainment TV box. Next, we have to look forward to the price that will be announced in the next two days.

Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
