In October 2015, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Box 3. The unexpected thing was that in less than half a year, Xiaomi launched a new TV box and named it as an enhanced version of Xiaomi Box 3. Is this an enhanced version really just a simple upgrade? What is the difference between the two hundred yuan? How should we choose?
Change in appearance
Millet Box 3 Standard Edition (hereafter referred to as the Standard Edition) continues the design concept of previous generations of products, using a full-body black body, the shape of the cobblestone makes it look more sleek. The body surface has been frosted to make it feel fine. There is only one Mi Zi LOGO at the top, clean and tidy. The bottom of the fuselage has a non-slip rubber pad.
The design of the millet box 3 enhanced version (hereinafter referred to as the enhanced version) is completely different from the past. The previous design emphasized circular arcs, while the enhanced version became more robust and the edge transitions were sharp. From a styling perspective, it was more like a miniature version of the MAC mini. The pure white top has only one etched Mi Zi LOGO, neat and generous. The bottom is a gray plastic panel with rubber mats added to the four corners. The three sides of the side have four straight grooves, and the cooling holes are very cleverly hidden in the grooves on the left and right sides.
In terms of volume, the difference between the two is actually not great. The standard version is 10110119.5cm. The enhanced version is 10010025mm. The length and width are almost the same, but the height version is higher than the standard version. The main reason is that the enhanced version has a cooling fan in the fuselage, while the standard version does not have a fan.
Thanks to the addition of a fan, the enhanced version also added vent holes on the left and right sides of the box. At the time of booting, we will hear the sound of the fan's start in the body. During operation, the fan will increase the speed with the increase of the internal temperature, but we do not need to worry about the noise problem, if not the ear to the body It is almost impossible to hear the sound of this fan running.
Enhanced performance
The standard version is equipped with an Amlogic S905 quad-core A53 processor, using a 28-nanometer process with a maximum frequency of 2GHz. The GPU is still Mali-450, clocked up to 750Mhz. Storage combination only poor 1GB RAM + 4GB ROM This is also the biggest problem of the standard version.
Enhanced version is equipped with MediaTek MT8693 six-core processor, has two A72 core and four A53 core, the highest frequency is the same as 2GHz, GPU is Power VR GX6250. 2GB RAM + 8GB ROM storage combination is currently the highest in the millet box Configuration.
The standard version of the 4GB ROM system already occupies 2.8GB, leaving little room for users. The enhanced version of the 8GB ROM system uses 2.7 GB, and the available space is about 4.9 GB, although this is not too large, but it also satisfies the normal use of a box.
Using Geekbench3 to run the sub-test, the standard version of the single-core score was only a poor 562 points, while the multi-core score of 1527 points, the performance can be said to be weak burst. The enhanced version of the single-core score of 1433, has been close to the level of Orion 7420, multi-core score of 3318.
In the Ann Bunny TV version test, the standard version only scored 29,493 points. Due to the older version of open GL used, the standard version does not support isolated scene testing. The memory score after only a few tests showed only about 40 points. This should be a BUG, ​​and the score should not be so low, so this score is for reference only. The total score of the enhanced version is 67,210, which is twice as much as the standard version.
In the security Bunny video test, you can see the standard version of the video support format is 27, and the enhanced version is 28, the difference is not, the mainstream video formats can support.
Interface changes
The enhanced version has only two USB2.0 and one HDMI video output interface, the standard version is a USB2.0, an HDMI, an AV composite interface. If your TV does not have an HDMI interface and only an old AV video interface, then the standard is your only choice. The enhanced version removes one AV interface and changes to a USB interface, which is indeed more practical, but many users still expect the return of Ethernet interface and SD card interface.
System UI improvements
The MITV versions used by the two millet boxes 3 are also different. The latest MITV version of the standard version is 1.3.114 (stable), while the enhanced version of the system version is 1.4.6 (stable). The two systems as a whole The difference is not significant, the most significant difference being that the settings menu becomes a frosted glass effect and the layout of the homepage menu has also changed.
to sum up:
In everyday use, we can feel that the enhanced version has a higher fluency than the standard version, especially after opening multiple applications. The enhanced version is a full-scale standard version of the performance, and it is just for performance enhancement. The difference of 100 yuan is already worth it.
