Millet's most powerful competitor, Meizu, also released a TV box. Who better to buy?

From today’s point of view, the TV box is not a new product, but TV box is indeed a banner of traditional cable TV; because the Internet age gives consumers the demand for resources, traditional cable TV has completely failed to meet the consumption. The demand of the person, so after the television box was destroyed by radio and television, it finally has its own place. In personal terms, the TV is still the product of the screen display, but later the manufacturers combined the TV box with the TV to become a smart TV. Compared to smart TVs, TV boxes are more versatile and are not limited to service for a TV. They can provide smart platforms for many traditional non-network TVs, and they can also bring rich source for projectors and other products, even if it is a future TV. No matter how it develops, the TV box is still a piece of fat that manufacturers must fight for.

How do you think of Meizu's release of TV boxes? Personally think that this is the first step in Meizu's diversified product line. Like Xiaomi, the cost of developing TV boxes is far lower than the cost of a smart TV, and you want to capture the beginning of users. The product is not the product, but the internal resources of the product, so Meizu with a TV box allows users to feel the charm of the Meizu TV box, lay the foundation for the future release of smart TV. Therefore, Meizu's goal is very clear, to grab the TV industry before the Huawei.

I am very happy to have an engineering prototype of the Meizu box this time. I am very excited about it. After all, this will be a starting point for witnessing a company in a new field. Is a very commemorative product evaluation, good nonsense is not more than that the following official to all show this MeizuBox (Meizu Box);

First, from the packaging:

Packaging has always been the face of a manufacturer to show to everyone, and Meizu company has another company in the process design with exquisite, then the first cross-border new product packaging will not be any different.

The Meizu box is mainly white in color. There is an “M” logo in the middle, which is very concise and mysterious. On the side, there are placards printed with CIBN Internet TV. Here, the CIBN Internet TV is China International Broadcasting. The major business under the "Multimedia Convergence, Full Media Development" strategy of the radio station is exclusively operated by Guangdong Fang Network (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Why there is a more important reason to cooperate with CIBN is that according to the provisions of Document No. 181 of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, Internet TV set-top boxes, ie high-definition network player terminal products, have been incorporated into the management of Internet TV integrated machines, requiring “Internet TV. The content service platform can only be accessed on the Internet TV integration platform approved by the General Administration of Authority, "and the content service platform cannot be linked to websites set up on the public Internet." Internet TV boxes that want to provide Internet content services must cooperate with Internet TV licensees.

Digression is a bit more, but it is also where netizens are more puzzled, so here's a few words, the following then talk about packaging, Meizu box turn a printed product information on the back, and the Meizu logo, the whole did not use the noble Complex design, but with a plain style, simple and simple design style;

Second, accessories:

To remove the box, we can see the main components of the Meizu box are: a host TV box, power adapter, HDMI high-definition line, remote control and manual composition (with 7 batteries). It is not rich, but the necessary attachments are also included.

The Meizu box uses 12v 1000mAh DC power input, which belongs to the more conventional power input. The remote control uses the 14 button design, and the function is introduced later. Here we mainly introduce the appearance.

Third, the product appearance:

When you first saw the Meizu box, you could still clearly feel the excellent craftsmanship of the Meizu. The surface of your hand can be used as a mirror, with a jewel-like effect.

The Meizu box is round and triangular in shape. The edge is complemented by a sinuous streamline design. The smart waistline pulls in and is as concise as the box. It only has a drop-shaped button and an "M" in the center. The indicator light and key function can also find the remote controller in addition to the key; double-clicking the remote controller will make a sound to help the user find the remote controller. The bottom is more secure trimming design, can sit firmly on the desktop.

Interfaces, Meizu box designed a USB interface 1, cable interface 1, HDMI HD interface 1, and power interface 1,; abandoned AV interface, mainly HDMI output, if it is a very old-fashioned TV may need to buy their own interface The converter can play normally.

V. Flyme TV:

As we all know, Meizu's own R&D system is highly praised, and it is mainly known for its simplicity and beauty. Then what kind of interpretation will Flyme have in the smart TV system? The following will be announced with everyone.

The first time the power is turned on, the first opportunity prompts need to be paired with the Meizu box using the remote control. The pairing method is also relatively simple. Press and hold the house key and the menu key. If you want to change the remote control, you only need to enter the remote control settings in the settings. Reconnect it. After the pairing is completed, there is a hint that the “TV” key in the upper right corner is the learning key and can learn the TV function.

A variety of styles are optional, no longer need to complain about the constant theme interface. This is a really good design, Flyme TV's design is greatly beyond expectations. It is not like a newcomer who is just getting started. It is more like a veteran and experienced old driver. Both interface design and platform resource integration are very satisfactory.

Nowadays, TVs that are newly bought are all of the 4K level. If the new TV boxes do not support 4K, it is purely rogue. Obviously how Meizu may not know it, the Meizu Box supports 4K2K 4 systems, enough to meet different user needs.
