[Review] Reborn, deep analysis of millet box 3 enhanced version of the new changes

On March 4th, Xiaomi Technology Co-founder @ Xiaomi Wangchuan issued a micro-blog saying: Do you not want to play games will crash? Millet lightweight new products, faster than a little embarrassing.

By March 7, everyone knew that Xiaomi released an enhanced version of Xiaomi Box 3. Although it is a "lightweight" new product, this "enhanced version" has been enhanced more than a little. It can even be said that it is the biggest change in the millet box. On March 18th, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 will be sold on the entire network. The Xiaobian of the sofa butler has already received an enhanced version of the millet box 3 in advance to see if the box is not “faster than a little”.

First, the appearance of a radical change

From the packaging point of view, there is no difference between the millet box 3 enhanced version and the past millet box, is still a simple and plain packaging of kraft paper shell.


But once the packaging is opened, even old users of the millet box may not be able to recognize it. Compared with the previous millet box, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 can be described as a remake of the box.


The millet box 3 enhanced version may be the most unlike the generation of the millet box, and the traditional black narrow-edge design that the millet box has always insisted on is completely abandoned in this generation, replaced by the all-white style.


The change is not just the color. The height of the enhanced box body of the millet box 3 has increased significantly. The added part mainly comes from the newly added fans. Correspondingly, there are new cooling holes on both sides of the fuselage. For this change, Xiaobian very much appreciated. For a long time, the fever problem of TV boxes has not attracted the attention of users and manufacturers. In fact, many boxes are very hot, but when users use the box, they are placed next to the TV instead of in their pocket like a mobile phone. The fever is not very sensitive and it has been ignored. This time the enhanced version of the millet box 3 has added an independent fan, hoping to lead the TV box trend.


In addition to the side of the fuselage to increase the cooling hole, the back of the fuselage to add a USB interface, the back of the left to right is the USB interface X2, HDMI interface and power interface. As you may have noticed, as with the Millet Box 3, the enhanced version still has no Ethernet interface, which means that you can only access the wifi to obtain content, and you cannot directly plug in the Internet cable.


If three generations of boxes were to be small and discarded from USB ports, Ethernet ports, and TF slots, it would be excusable for the box to be minimalistic.

Then talk about accessories, millet box 3 enhanced version of the remote control consistent with the appearance of the previous generation, the color used as the host and the same white. It can be noticed that there is still a small microphone icon on the home button, indicating that the enhanced version of the remote controller still supports voice remote control. In other words, this remote controller is still sold for 99 yuan. In addition, on the first boot, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 remote control no longer need to hold down the home button and menu button to align the box match, just need to hold down the OK button to match.


The enhanced value of the power adapter of the millet box 3 enhanced version has significantly improved compared to the previous generation, and the total volume has become larger, but the contact surface has become narrower. This has the advantage of adapting to various boards, even if a board is filled with various types of boards. The plug can also be squeezed, which is very good!


Millet box 3 enhanced version of the family portrait, there is a small detail: the previous generation of remote control battery is Nanfu card, this time only sent a brand called "Purple Rice", slightly shrinking.


Second, significantly increase the configuration

The huge changes in the appearance of the enhanced version of the millet box 3 actually result from the upgrade of the hardware configuration.

In terms of hardware, the enhanced version of Xiaomi Box 3 uses a 64-bit A72 architecture six-core processor, clocked at up to 2GHz, equipped with a Power VR GX6250 GPU, and comes standard with 2G memory and 8GB high-speed flash memory, double the previous generation . From this hardware parameters, this enhanced version of the millet box 3 is not a star, compared to the previous generation product upgrade, 64-bit A72 architecture six-core processor supports 4K H.265 10bit hard decoding, can easily drive 4K ultra high-definition Play video.

Using the sofa butler to check it out, the sofa butler gave a score of 12319 points, which is a relatively high score. One detail is worth noting. From the detection results of the sofa butler, the enhanced version of the Xiaomi Box 3 occupies more than 2G of storage space, showing how tight the storage space of the previous generation of Xiaomi Box 3 is.


Specific parameters, in order to give you a more intuitive understanding, but also to verify the millet box 3 enhanced version of the poster mentioned in the "AnTutu run 60,000," Xiao Bian also used their own security Bunny to run once points. The security bunny is mainly run on the mobile phone. Although the millet box is also based on the Android system, it is operated with a remote controller, so after installing the security rabbit, use the mouse to operate. In addition, Xiaomi's own application market does not have security and rabbit hardware detection, and can only be downloaded through the sofa butler.


In order to prevent the result from being inaccurate, Xiao Bian used the rabbit to test twice. The two runs were divided into 47,000 and 48,000, respectively. 48628 this score in the box tested by Xiao Bian, be considered one of the best scores, the performance is only slightly lower than Meizu MX5 running points, you know that Meizu MX5 mobile phone price is 1,700 yuan.


For millet box 3 enhanced version, Xiao Bian has a point of view: hardware configuration for the greatest increase in experience from the storage space rather than CPU, GPU these hard indicators.

With reference to Xiao Bian's experience in the use of many boxes in the past, the configuration of the previous generation of millet box 3 has been considered the best in the market, plus Xiaomi's own MITV system optimization is also very good, so the experience is still very good.

However, the millet box 3 has a huge weakness: it comes with 4G storage. This 4G storage system will take up more than half of the system, leaving no room for users to install their own applications. Due to a large number of users complaining and tweaking, Xiaomi Box 3 added new features in the subsequent system upgrade: The software can be installed in an external USB flash drive. (Reference read: "Millet box 3 installation application to an external U disk, completely solve the lack of built-in space")

This is actually a plan for demolishing the Western Wall to fill the Western Wall. The millet box 3 itself has only one USB port. Plug in the U disk to install the application. Then there is no USB port to watch the video. Therefore, Xiaomi Box 3 enhanced version has added a USB interface, while expanding the internal storage to 8G, so that it will no longer be bothered by the lack of storage space, there is enough space for large-scale games to play out the performance.

Third, install third-party applications

The steps to install and connect the TV to the box are ignored here. Anyway, follow the instruction manual step by step. The resources of the box itself are limited, and the openness of the Android system determines the playability of the box. Whether the box can be installed or cannot be simply installed by a third-party application is the key to whether or not the smart box is fun.

1, comes with the application store

Xiaomi's own app store has more and more rich content, and the update frequency is also quite high. These days, the more fierce Korean Go players, Li Shishi, and the Google alphago robot have also been pushed to the recommended position.


2, U disk installation


Not all the software you want can be found in your own app store. Here is a recommendation for a third-party app market—seat management. Generally speaking, the application type and update frequency of the third-party market are higher than those of the third-party market. The application store, so we just install a sofa housekeeper, you can download applications as you like.


There is no sofa butler in the millet application store. How do we install the enhanced version of the millet box with a sofa butler? In fact, the method is very simple, enter the millet box settings, the "install unknown source applications" is set to "allow", and then insert the U disk into the millet box 3 enhanced version of the USB interface.


Open the HD player, select the device, find the removable storage device, you can find the sofa butler package. Select the OK button to install.



Fourth, video resources

Due to space limitations, here I mainly talk about TV dramas and movies that my box comes with. In terms of TV dramas, the Xiaomi box added a “sync and broadcast” category. This category is in fact the convergence of the current hit TV dramas for users to click. An enhanced version of the millet box called "140000" episodes of TV dramas. Looking roughly, the contents of the TV dramas are quite complete.


In addition, Xiao Bian specifically tested that playing "Island of the Sun" broadcast independently by Iqiyi can only be seen in the first three episodes. It requires payment to see the latest two episodes. If you choose to buy, there will be a "kiwifruit VIP" purchase interface, and in fact there is not much difference with the installation of the Kiwifruit APP.

In terms of movies, Xiaomi's box is said to have "8000" movies. Judging from the movie library, there are definitely 8,000 departments, but everyone mainly cares about whether or not they pay and how they look. After Xiao Bian observes, the millet box (here not to mention the specific model, because the different types of millet box content is the same) of the film mainly reflected in the film, a few months ago the fiery "Mars rescue" appeared In the recommendation position.

Xiao Bian is more appreciative of this approach. She likes to watch a large audience of movie theaters who can go to the cinema. People who like to watch movies at home may not care whether they are in the show or not.


Entering the "Free Movies" section that everyone cares about, you can find a lot of movies of cinemas such as "I am a Witness," "Catch the Evil," and "Assassin Nie Hian Niang," and so on. There are several movies in the picture. Xiao Bian was spending money to go to the cinema at that time, and now I can read the copyright on the Xiaomi box for free, and it is still more conscience.


Another question, what about the picture quality of the Xiaomi box? Xiao Bian tested a free copy of "The Return of the King". The picture quality is relatively clear. The visual test is about 1080p. It can be seen that even if it is called "4K box", the millet box itself does not have much 4K resources. Of course, this problem can not be demanded, no matter which box to buy is facing the same situation.


In addition to watching movies and TV shows, many viewers are more concerned about how to use the box to watch live broadcasts. To use the enhanced version of Millet Box 3 to watch live TV, you need to rely on third-party applications, which is why the previous article emphasized the importance of supporting third-party applications. The method is also very simple. Search "HDP" in the sofa butler, download and install the HDP live, you can watch live TV without stress.


You can also search for "DSJ" to download TV Home 2.0, and you can also watch live TV.


Five, 4K playback

The top smart box may be slightly inferior to the mobile phone or PC platform in terms of game performance and content resources, but 4K playback will not, and playing 4K video is a specialty of the TV box. Many television boxes have specially built-in decoding modules for their chips, and millet box 3 also has an enhanced version. Next, let's take a look at the results of 4K video playback in the enhanced version of the millet box.

The test videos used by Xiao Bian are all collected from the day-to-day collection. The formats and bit rates are different.

"Shanchuan Cuisine" H.265 video, Changhong shooting video, millet box 3 enhanced version is very smooth when playing, switching progress is not Caton;


Test fragments from France Canal+4k, MKV format, play smooth switching does not get stuck;


"Jurassic World" 4K clips, MKV format, this video has its own bit rate problem, can play smoothly on Xiao Bian's own high equipped computer, can not play on many boxes, millet box 3 enhanced version play from time to time from time to time ;


"Cosmic Starry Sky. Saturn Ring", from Sharp's 4K test video, playing smoothly without Caton;


"Hokkaido Flower Sea", Changhong's 4K demo video, Xiao Bian found that Changhong's demo video, playing is very smooth, the quality itself is very good.


In general, the 4K playback capability of the enhanced version of the millet box is still outstanding. The biggest problem may be that the 4K video resources pointed out by Xiaobian have been very few, and they are relying more on USB external storage devices.

Six, game performance

Has the improvement in the hardware configuration of the enhanced version of the Millet Box 3 brought about an increase in game performance? Xiao Bian tried several games in the sofa butler and the grape game hall.

Try the "fisherman 2 TV version", this puzzle game screen effects are more, in fact, the equipment performance requirements are not low, measured millet box 3 enhanced version of the basic flow of operation, and occasionally there will be dropped frames.

Try the "Riptide Airship 2", this game is actually a variant of racing racing class, the player operating a motor boat to run on the river. The enhanced version of the millet box 3 runs smoothly without any snagging, and the splash effects are great.


Try "My World", this famous sandbox game has come across smart phones on multiple platforms. There is no pressure on the smooth running of the millet box 3 enhanced version, but to be reminded that this game does not support the remote control, you need an external gamepad or mouse (now know the benefits of the two USB interface).


Try the "Hell Borders", this is a transplant game from the PC, optimization is not very good, slightly dropped frames during the game, but this is the reason for the game itself.


In general, the game performance of the enhanced version of the millet box 3 is at a good level, but it is not as strong as it is, and it is mainly suitable for fun games. If you are a gamer and want to play games on your TV screen, I suggest you start the game console.

In addition, talk about the enhanced version of the millet box 3 somatosensory games, somatosensory game classification called "gym" in the millet application store, suggesting that playing a somatosensory game can exercise, if not pay attention, then may not be found.


Xiao Bian tried the tennis game. The operation was smooth. Just shake the remote control to swing. Press OK to serve. What is less obvious is that the picture and details of the game itself are slightly rough, and this point is expected to gradually improve in the future. In addition, because there is only one remote control, there is no way to test whether it is a two-person game. If you can play somatosensory games for two people, it would be great!


In general, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 game performance is relatively strong, but it is not so powerful to the degree of praise, it can be said that the highlight of the millet box 3 enhanced version is not the game performance, but all aspects The improvement of the user experience brought about by the integration.

Seven, summary

Millet box 3 enhanced version of the performance of all aspects of Xiaobian 11 to do a brief introduction to the user who has a preference for a certain aspect. In general, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 may not be top in every respect, but it is a great combination. Of course, compared to the 3rd generation box, the price of the enhanced version has gone up by 100 to RMB 399. This price is higher than most of the boxes in the market. If you are more interested in the enhanced version of the Xiaomi Box, the one hundred is more. Worth the shot.

The enhanced version of the millet box 3 will be on sale on March 18th, when it may be difficult to grab the situation. If you are eager to get an enhanced version of the millet box 3, you may wish to participate in this event: http://bbs.shafa.com/thread-1279693-1-1.html, sofa butler will send out 11 millet box 3 enhanced version!
