Black triangle: Meizu box trial experience

On October 31st, the Meizu brand released its first TV box product, Meizu Box, model B601, and officially entered the field of TV boxes. Meizu has always been committed to creating a focused, professional, personalized brand image, rich in personality and ideas in the design and development of mobile phones, thus capturing a large number of loyal fans. So, what kind of characteristics does this Meizu box have? Recently, bugs have had the opportunity to experience this product. Next, share this product with you.

In the fall season of 2016, the Meizu Box was officially launched, and with the joy of harvest, it was still full of personality. Meizu box uses Meizu traditional white packaging, but the entire box product has chosen two basic colors of black and white. The purpose of this is to make the colors of boxes and TVs and other home appliances more coordinated. The insects got the black box.


The Meizu box uses a ten-dimensional shape - a triangle with circular edges. The box market has developed very rapidly in recent years, but the products have also presented serious problems of homogeneity. The Meizu box has sought to seek differentiation and individuality from the exterior design, and also reflects the cultural characteristics of the Meizu brand.


Meizu box size is 172 * 156 * 72mm, roughly the size of a palm. This volume, taking into account the portability and heat dissipation, can ensure the heat dissipation and stability of the box when used for a long time.


The Meizu box is made of black plastic and has a rounded equilateral triangle. The upper panel of the fuselage adopts a mirror design of piano paint. The black reflective mirror obviously improves the forcing of the product. The Meizu logo is in the middle of the box. The logo is also a raindrop-shaped button with a light blue indicator. It can be seen that Meizu is unique in its detail design.


The top panel of the box uses a circular surface that resembles the natural tension of the water droplets. This makes the box even more elegant.


The side of the box uses a beveled edge to make the box look lighter, natural arcs, rounded corners, and the appearance of a triangle, making the box look like a stretch of leaves. This kind of product is placed on the TV cabinet, not only a practical box, but also a very interesting decorative ornaments.


After the box is powered on, the “m” button in the center of the panel will emit a blue indicator light to show the working status. The faint blue and black contrast each other and play a finishing touch.


Compared with the beautiful appearance and the heart of the system, in the hardware configuration, the Meizu box is slightly quite satisfactory.


Meizu box equipped with 64-bit 8-core processor, GPU is mali-450, 1GB, storage + 8GB flash memory storage portfolio, this configuration can only be said to be quite satisfactory configuration, basically meet the daily functional applications.


The bottom of the box is frosted with the relevant identification of the product. One of the words produced by CIBN Internet TV shows the qualification and identity of the box. This is especially important today when intellectual property protection is becoming more and more intensified.


The interface part of the Meizu box is designed on the side of the back of the box and has a USB interface, a cable interface, an HDMI interface and a power interface. These are all standard interfaces for everyday use and are fully capable of meeting everyday use.

Although the size of the box is small, the design of the interface is very reasonable. The four interfaces are lined up in a row and the proper spacing is maintained. It is not as small as the size of the box. ”, can't use anti-human design at the same time.


Meizu box remote control also uses a polished process, using the current popular 13-key simple design, simple control, easy to use. Among them, the TV key has a learning mode. Through learning, the television remote control operation information is obtained and the purpose of controlling the television is achieved. The remote control with a two-in-one design is very user-friendly.


The highlight of the Meizu Box is that this remote control uses Bluetooth remote control + voice control. Compared with the traditional infrared remote control, the Bluetooth remote control does not need to aim at the direction, the distance can also be farther away, and the voice control is similar to an ordinary voice assistant, just press and hold the voice button to say the desired operation, significantly Improve the intelligence and convenience of human-computer interaction.

Therefore, we can see some differences between the remote control of the Meizu box and the regular box: there is a mic hole at the top of the remote control, and there is a button with a microphone logo under the volume control key.


Meizu box design humane, but also reflected in the power outlet. We can see that the power socket design is very small, especially the plug part is located on the top edge. Such a design requires only a small socket space to be plugged in without affecting the use of the surrounding plug. Although this is a small detail, it is a vivid demonstration of the Meizu humanized professional design.


Next, let's boot to see what kind of features on the Meizu box system.


Meizu has always maintained an independent personality and style in the research and development of the mobile phone system, and still adhering to the fine tradition of Meizu in the box system. Meizu improved the Flyme on the mobile phone system and designed the FlymeTV version. The customized system of the Meizu Box is based on Android 6.0. The overall trend is flat design. From the overall system architecture to the icon design, we feel the Meizu brand's simple and stylish style.


The current version of the flyme TV in the Meizu Box is 5.5.1.1. The interface theme is elegant in color and maintains cross-platform consistency with the mobile phone system. In the first boot, you need to pair the Bluetooth remote and the Meizu box.


Meizu box system is a distinctive feature is a very good learning tips, allows users to easily get started to complete a variety of settings and operations, which reflects the Meizu's intentions and system improvements.


The icon of Flyme TV adopts the flat, gentle tone, and the application of a large number of similar colors reflects the aesthetics of the system designer. Compared to the common box and smart TV system interface, flyme TV has been greatly simplified, with more practicality and intuitiveness. It adopts a card-type structure and the interface is divided into three parts. The first part is recommended for hit films and television dramas; the second part has built-in video resources (television rotation, movies, television dramas, variety shows, anime, documentaries); the third part is the installed application software. Compared with the traditional tabbed interface, this layout is more intuitive, simpler, simpler, and more convenient for users to quickly find, especially for ordinary users who are not familiar with digital products.

Meizu flymeTV icon and font design, with a distinctive Flyme gene, the interface is very refreshing, personalized background customization, screensaver choice, parents lock screen and other designs, but also very humane.

The Flyme system comes with its own application store. The built-in software is still relatively rich, practical tools, convenient life, good food, news reading, baby learning, and so on. Of course, for many digital players, if you do not toss a third-party application, it seems to be a bit unsure.

However, the Meizu Box has turned off the developer's permission by default, and it is unable to recognize third-party apks. But here to tell you a little secret: in the [Settings] - [about the machine] - [device information] - [version number], the remote control continuous confirmation button seven times, you can activate the developer options and apk display . Next, I believe we all know what to do? Everyone can choose to install popular TV box apps, such as Bessie Market, Xiao Bai File Manager, etc., which will not be elaborated here.


With the increasingly stringent protection of intellectual property rights, competition in television boxes must be reflected in content resources. Meizu smart TV box is a CIBN certified product. By accessing the CIBN broadcast control platform, a large amount of genuine TV content and resources can be obtained. At the same time, Meizu Box also supports Youku, Sohu, PPTV, and Friends of the four content search and recommendation, basically covering the entire network of video content, covering the current hit films, television, variety shows, children and documentaries. At the same time, in the classification of massive content resources, Meizu divided all content resources into films, television dramas, variety shows, cartoons, and documentaries. Based on this classification, it has been classified and classified, making it easier for users to quickly search for desired content. Resources.


Flyme TV on-demand video interface, according to the theme and nature of the video is different, using a very "contemporary" color matching style, allowing users to look very comfortable.


In terms of applications, the Meizu Box has built-in applications such as Bevaa Song, CIBN Poly Sports, CIBN Hyatt Hall TV, Yifang Happiness School, and FitTime Fitness. In particular, CIBN Sports includes football, basketball and other popular events at home and abroad, and the recommendation of exciting programs, the classification of different events, and the schedule of live events sorted by time and schedule are very practical. For a sports fan, it is true. It's so happy.

Meizu Box is not only rich in content and resources, but also comes with three very practical and innovative features, here specifically for everyone to introduce.


One is the TV key learning function. The TV key in the upper right corner of the remote control of the Meizu Box can directly learn to copy a key function of an ordinary TV. For example, if you copy the TV key of the Meizu box remote control to learn the TV's power on standby button, the TV's remote control can be stored from now on. When you watch TV, you no longer have to use two remote controllers to "standby". Humanized design.

The second is voice function. As mentioned earlier, the Meizu box remote control comes with a voice control function. Press and hold the voice button to directly broadcast the video content you want to see. During actual testing, it was found that if Mandarin is used and the speed of speech is slowed down, the recognition rate is still good. Compared to the input spelling search mode, the efficiency is improved a lot. However, the voice control function currently only supports video on demand, and it still cannot support globalized voice retrieval and manipulation.


The third is the remote control anti-lost function. I believe many of my friends have such experience, remote control, mobile phones and other digital products are often lost in a corner of the living room, can not find. If it is a mobile phone, everyone is accustomed to dialing through the dial, and follow the sound to find. But with the remote control, there is no way. The Meizu box adds an anti-lost ringing function to the remote control. When you can't find the remote control, just press the M key when the TV box is powered on, then the remote control will make a drop of sound to make it easier for the user to find out. Although this small feature is not high in technical content, it is very practical, reflecting Meizu's comprehensive design considerations.

In short, after several days of practical use, it was found that the Meizu box was very characteristic and the insects had already liked the black triangle. In the box product, although Meizu is only a "rookie", although the voice recognition has yet to be further improved, the level of hardware configuration is not too high, but its design, manufacturing and innovation is very old-fashioned, professional, 299 yuan The price is still very competitive. Meizu began to cross the border from the mobile phone into the box, although the start is relatively late, but the starting point is very high, but also reflects the Meizu brand is committed to enrich the product structure, to provide users with the strategic direction of the whole platform digital entertainment solutions.
