Millet box and millet box completely contrast evaluation

The release of the Xiaomi box can be described as a surprise. Compact size, rich content, smart appearance, is destined to be a star child. Then the question arises. Where is the difference between the small box and the big box? Xiao Bian also took this question and made a detailed comparative evaluation of the two from the aspect of appearance, configuration and content, and hoped to help everyone!


☆ Foreword ☆


——————————


After Xiaomi’s box was released, it was attracted by its innovative appearance. At the time of the beta, it reported its name for the first time. Did not expect the lucky goddess to care, got a precious beta qualification. Facts have proved that as long as the millet VIP, as long as you usually work hard enough, there will be a chance to beta! Well, immediately began the Xiaomiao small box and big box of comparative evaluation! Into the title...



☆Open box ☆
——————————


International conventions still come out of the box first. Everyone will be able to see the small box. Xiao Bian got the standard packaging, not the New Year packaging for the conference, but it was still a little lost. However, the white is also very beautiful. The elegant packaging box inherits the consistent tradition of the packaging industry experts in the millet industry. Small and does not waste any space.





On the back of Xiaomi's small box, some of the technical parameters of Xiaomi's small box are small, but the hardware configuration does not lose.

Processor: MTK MT8685 Cortex-A7,

Quad-core 1.3GHz GPU: Mali-450 MP4, 4+2 core 416MHz

Memory: 1GB DDR3

Flash: 4GB eMMC 4.5 High Speed ​​Flash

Dual-band WiFi: 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11a/b/g/n

Bluetooth: Bluetooth 2/3/4.0

Android 4.4.2 system certified by Google CTS





Open up, you can see a lot of small packaging, are very delicate. Like chocolate, there are wood? Since each small box is squeezed into a box, it is not convenient to take it out, and there is a pull-up sheet on the box of the remote control. It can be removed just by pulling it lightly. It can be seen that Xiaomi attaches great importance to the details. It is difficult to think that it is not a good product. Everyone guesses what is in each box? That's right, it's the remote control, the small box, the HD HDMI cable.





Can not wait to get out of the small box, like a toy fire box size is really too small and exquisite.














The remote control of the small box has a pure white appearance, matte polished surface, feels very comfortable. The millet remote control has abandoned the practice of a bunch of buttons on the traditional TV remote control. It uses a minimalist design and is easy to operate. It can be said to be a breakthrough. Leading the imitation of the television counterparts. However, Xiao Bian worried that such a white innocence is not easy to get dirty? There is idea that we want to wrap around.








The first time the battery cover needs to be deducted, remove the insulating film








To a family portrait, manual, remote control, small box, high-definition line, well on these, so many things installed into a box, really cost a lot of thought.






☆ appearance contrast ☆
——————————

The biggest difference between the small box and the big box is the appearance, first to a comparison of the measurements



Again a few small make their own shot, you can see that the small box is indeed small, this praise, the most important is the small box using the power and the box body design, abandoned the power adapter and power cord, really save a lot, Subtracted space. It is more convenient to carry, where to go where to see. Our own portable theater was born like this.







Xiaobian home is a box veteran, millet box generation, remote control is not a Bluetooth design, each need to be aligned, the arms are cool Oh, the Bluetooth is finally looking forward to, do not know the remote control of the small box, you can control the millet The second generation of television and box is not. Students who are interested can test it. It can be seen that the remote control of the small box is a lot larger than the one of the remote control, and the thickness of the remote control is much larger. The remote control of the first generation uses the smooth backside, and the remote control of the small box uses the back of the matte.






☆Startup ☆
——————————


The small box starts up and the boot animation is added. Observing the careful little potters found out that the small box has 5 colored small squares when it is turned on, then it is combined into a square, the MI word icon appears, and finally the GITV splash screen. After the small box is started, it is a setup wizard, the wizard is very simple, step by step operation, the configuration of the box is completed. It has really reached the goal of being handy for children and old people.






















☆ Content Comparison ☆
——————————

Content comparison, this is more than everyone else's concern. After the comparison of the contents of the small box and the big box, the difference is still quite a lot. Listen to Xiao Bian.

The small box used to cooperate with GITV. GITV is a new media company owned by the Central People's Broadcasting Station's Yangguang New Media Company, and it has joined hands with the Jiangsu Internet Radio and TV Station and Ichiyi Technology Co., Ltd. to set up an Internet TV operation company. It can be said that the content of the small box is genuine legal content. The millet box is in cooperation with icntv China Network TV. Specifically, we will compare the major aspects of television dramas, movies, and variety shows.
Compared with the main interface, there are almost no differences. They are divided into online video, game center, application store, and installed applications.



Open online movies and television, the difference is more obvious, although the interface is the same, but the content is indeed very different. The upper left corner of the millet box is the logo of icntv, and the small box is the GITV logo.



Into the new seven-day, the first section, you can see the content of the small box overcame the millet box. The United States has a lot of millet boxes.



Let's look at the TV drama section. This is also our most common use. Watching TV shows on the Internet is all about doing it. The small box drama is another victory. The latest hit TV shows can be seen, but in contrast to the millet box, too much. Do not know whether the late millet box can catch up, the two contents are expected to be able to unify.



The movie update of the small box is obviously faster than the small box, and the millet box has to be refueled. If you are not pursuing the update, the small box can completely set aside third-party applications, watching video is enough.



Variety, it is a small box victory, oh, millet box, Oh, the latest all-around entertainment are reluctant to put it? However, it is a pity that the variety of the small box still does not include the hot variety of Mango Taiwan, and the contents still need to be improved by means of a third party.



In terms of area, I had to spit out the millet box. All-in-one fees, small boxes are fine, and all are free experiences. But in the later period, it will not be known whether it will be charged. I hope Xiaomi's small box will give it more strength!



Other aspects, such as games, application stores, settings, etc., are exactly the same, with little difference. Because this is what Xiaomi provided. However, I found that the small box added message notification. As for the other guys who are also coming to see it, it's still relatively awesome, small box.

The message notification reminds you that when you press a message, you can press the arrow button on the remote control to view it. From the notification bar, you can see that there are Bluetooth settings, network settings, personal space, and so on. In addition to the message, you can easily access the operation and appreciate it.



Open the message prompts found around the millet equipment, this is very smart, ah, open will prompt the most fans of millet millet function, shooting photos, videos, music, are not alone.



TV drama playback screen is also more intuitive, more convenient operation, press the remote control menu key, directly floating out the election set, too convenient. The playback screen is simply super clear, it is awesome











The small box also added a large area of ​​New Year's greetings, but unfortunately they are all notices. This is not enough meaning. Can you appetite first?



Children's area, Blu-ray area, are more awesome







Hot list, you can see a lot of European and American movies, the clarity is leveraged, much richer than the millet box content.





According to the star selection video, this feature is also preserved in the small box









Games, millet box series have increased the game board, and the most forceful addition of the handle area, but Xiaobian no handle, temporarily not tested, Xiao Bian under a small game, the remote control operation is perfect. The memory of the small box is less than 1.5G. We need to be careful when installing large games. If it is full, it will affect the operation of the box.














.






Set up the interface, the setting allows the installation of third-party applications need to open, in order to download application installation from other markets. Child locks, millet account settings, etc. After setting up the millet account, you can use Xiaomi's cloud album function, which is also a function of praise.















Fast installation of applications, remote installation of applications through mobile phones, it is easy to bid farewell to the data line, I mainly install a few fine applications, applications do not need more, a few fine on the line, small box due to no live, I installed HDP live, I think awesome.






Third-party application content display. Both the small box and the millet box can be used to extend the contents of the box through third-party applications. Content games are enriched, and on-demand broadcasts are available. If you still need, you can install third-party application markets.

Recommend to everyone a more competent sofa butler,

Sofa butler interface, there are a lot of video third-party software,

Directly download and install, automatically delete the installation package after installation, we can use oh










Magic video screen shot appreciation









Live picture





☆Projection artifact ☆
——————————

This time with the release of a small box there is a projector artifact software, but also more to force, you can directly cast pictures, videos, installed applications, start applications. Allows non-millet mobile users to interactively screen








☆General ☆

——————————

By contrast, the small box is not lost to the millet box at any point in terms of configuration, appearance and content, and the cost performance is relatively high. Interested students can consider starting. Good summary of the advantages and disadvantages of the small box, for everyone to refer to it.

advantage:


1, the appearance of timely and compact, eliminating the need for power, a line link, easy to install and carry, home travel essential film artifact


2. The content and the cooperation between the Central and the Galaxy have improved a lot, and updating has also been relatively effective.


3, Bluetooth remote control, no need to align the operation, minimalist remote control button design, easy to use for children and the elderly.


4, with Bluetooth can link Bluetooth headset, watching movies at night, no longer have to worry about disturbing people, disturbing the family to sleep.


5, mitv system is the best system I have used TV, clear and beautiful interface, smooth operation


6, rich interactive features, such as Meilian features, wireless mirroring features have greatly expanded the play of the small box (later Xiaobian will be a separate post for the interaction, please pay attention.)


Disadvantages:


1, small box, remote control, high-definition line are white, Xiaobian worry is not very dirty


2. The content of the small box is not much smaller than that of the millet box, but the content is still not enough. For example, there are fewer popular variety shows, copyright issues may be involved, and third-party applications are needed to expand the contents of the box. But don't forget that Xiaomi has Content providers start cooperation, I believe the content will gradually improve, after all, for the Internet box, there is no content, that is, decoration.



Finally, enjoy the small box screensaver poster. This is really beautiful.
