Big head has great wisdom
---- Early use of Q8
Looking forward to finally receiving the Q8 for a long time, I am very happy. I share the following experience with the box. I have never written a review. I am sorry to see that I received it very unexpectedly. The package is much larger than I expected, and the weight is very high. weight! It's very heavy in my hand.
package:
Inner packaging, multi angle, side comes with bonus 1 video output cable
Packing boxes
Unpacking
Appearance, Accessories, Interface
The top is the playback control button, there are key to open, in time without the remote control can also perform basic operations, the back is the hard disk box and various interfaces
All the attachments are here, and there is a red envelope that comes with the seller. If you are happy, if you open one and see one 100, one 50, you just don't know that country's money.
Pay special attention to the power supply: 12V/2.1A is a 25W power supply, great power, may be to ensure the power requirements of usb3 and hard disk
Connect to boot
All the electricity, but the box did not reflect, try the remote control, try to find the remote control no battery, fortunately it is AAA battery, home, directly to find 2 press, this battery design is very good, than the use of buttons The battery is convenient and it is in the basic home.
This remote is a number that is prominent, will not be erased for long periods of use, and has a TV control button
Why did you not reflect? Think of it, there is a separate switch at the back, the box is bright after opening, this welcome reminds me of "hello world".
How does the box light up and no output on the TV?
Ugh! Too careless, plug the HDMI cable into the "HDMI IN" and plug it into the "HDMI OUT"
I finally saw the TV output, (^__^) 嘻嘻
System use
The setup interface goes down step by step, but when it comes to the wireless setup password, the numeric password can be easily entered using the numeric keys on the remote control. However, the letters do not appear. The original input must be “OK†to enter the input interface. Letters, Chinese characters
Setup is complete! Enter the main interface
There is almost no pre-installed application, which is very different from the general cottage. All applications are here, enough simple!
Tried down the radio, can play in the background, but it seems to be Internet radio. . .
Local play
Local player support u disk, Network Neighborhood, NFS play, here to say the next network neighbor broadcast, the same network computer detection is so fast, and open the local folder, too smooth. The following picture is a folder on my computer. As for the playback format, all the video files on my computer can be played.
In the settings you can adjust the video output resolution, the remote control on the display button can also be directly switched, I accidentally point to this button, the TV flash cut screen, and later it was to know the switching resolution.
Network play test
The network broadcast, first think of the TV app of this machine, but the well-known reason can only see static pictures. . .
Okay, go online and download
Although the remote control operation is also more convenient, but still used to use the mouse, directly plug into the usb port you can use the wireless mouse, the blue usb is the usb3, the other two are usb3, here did not see the official website that TF Card slot
Try HDP broadcast live, there are too many program channels, and a lot of high-definition channels, just point a few, about 2 seconds to change Taiwan, playing a very process
Performance and configuration
Complete test using the latest version of the security rabbit v5.1.5
3D test
The final result is 19364 points
The processor 4 core close to 2w points, in the box is a very good result, with the help of the 2G large memory gain, the memory score is very high!
Root permission display to obtain, is the box itself open root privileges? Or is the security Bunny test is not accurate, I usually watch TV, movie video, and did not prepare root, regardless of it.
See the test support a lot of sensors, box sensor is so rich! Configuration is very honest ah J
Guess what this chart is?
o (∩ _ ∩) o haha ​​This is my favorite feature, wireless screen, namely: Miracast it can make the monitor instantly become a wireless display! What is more than what airplay, DLAN push much more useful, and now win8 and later versions have built-in support for Miracast, you can directly turn the TV into a wireless monitor, o (∩ _ ∩) o haha, can finally put the shackles of the wire Now.
First time feeling
Let's take a look at the box comparison I made: the comparison product Huawei secret box, millet box enhanced version
Although the Huawei box is a 13-year-old excellent product, although the configuration is not the latest, but the overall quality and customer acceptance is still very high, from the sales price and online shopping evaluation can be seen, choose this familiar old product more Easy to compare.
The enhanced version of the millet box is a new box that was launched soon. Compared with the old models, the configuration is much higher. The millet marketing is done well, and everyone is relatively easy to understand.
Other boxes such as: music as the box, I feel that compared with the millet box is not listed, but LeTV has its own television, is considered an advantage
The basic comparison is as follows:

Advantage:
Through the comparison of direct data, we can see that Q8 configuration and expansion are really top-level products. The use of materials is very sufficient. The all-metal body makes him a heavyweight product, and the large volume metal body makes it excellent in heat dissipation. There is no feeling of fever. The system is simple and easy to use, and it is very convenient to use with a remote control with a numeric keypad. It is especially suitable for watching TV. The operation is very smooth during use. The user does not feel anything about Caton. The customer experience is very good.
Comparing with other boxes, the expandability is stronger, and the hard disk box is configured, and the Thunder can be downloaded as a download tool, and the usb3 interface is 10 times faster than the usb2. Now the video files are frequently transferred from 7 to 8G, and the copy is The advantages of large video files are very obvious. Nowadays, many TVs support 4K ultra high-definition. This is a trend in the future. However, the size of 4k high-definition video sources is too scary, at least more than 10 G, and generally more than 30 G, so the decrease The chip source size is imperative, and the new coding standard H.256 can reduce the chip source size by half in the case of lossless pictures, greatly reducing the occupation of hard disks and bandwidth. The addition of HDD, usb3, and H.256 to high-definition players can be said to be three-edged swords, which can ease the bottleneck of system IO performance. These contents can only be realized by actual use.
Other boxes also have a lot of highlights that Q8 doesn't have:
Huawei's Bluetooth full-range remote control box, and its compact size can be pasted into the mini box behind the TV's dual-band wifi and millet phone system maintenance team.
For me, Q8 is a high-standard box that can meet audio-visual, download, and entertainment. If there is any improvement proposal, it is hoped that the price will benefit the people more.
