Every year, 11.11 is the busiest time for Digital Mastermind. This isn’t just about a sister-in-law who recently bought a big TV but isn’t satisfied with its system. She plans to start using a TV box during the 11.11 shopping festival. However, with so many online options available, she spent a long time researching and eventually turned to Xiao 8 for help.
Xiao 8 found five popular TV boxes on Jingdong. As the saying goes, "buying things without buying expensive ones only buys the right ones." When choosing a TV box, it's not just about the configuration, but also practical use. So, Xiao 8 decided to buy all five and conduct a horizontal review to help others find the best fit.
The five devices reviewed include Hengping TV external device pack, Ichiyi TV, Xiaomi Box 3S, Glory Box, Skyworth Penguin Aurora Box, and Haimei Di H7. These are not traditional boxes but smart hardware designed to enrich TV content.
Through in-depth research, Xiao 8 identified seven key areas: appearance, performance, system, film and television resources, features, price, and screen-casting experience. A total of 50 details were evaluated.
**Appearance:** The Haimei Di H7 is one of the largest among the four generations, with dimensions of 158.8mm x 104.7mm x 23.6mm, similar to a conventional router. It has a metal body with a bright cut edge design, giving it a solid feel. The interfaces are rich, including HDMI, component, fiber input, USB, and a TF card slot. Its portability isn't a priority, as it's more suited for living rooms or bedrooms.
The Xiaomi Box 3S is smaller, measuring 101mm x 101mm x 19.5mm, with a rounded plastic body and matte texture. It includes a power interface, USB2.0, HDMI2.0a, and AV interface.
The Skyworth Penguin Aurora Box is slightly smaller, 98mm x 98mm x 20mm, with a straightforward design that makes it look even smaller than the Xiaomi Box. It has an Ethernet interface, which the Xiaomi lacks.
The Glory Box is the smallest, with a glossy finish and dimensions of 85mm x 85mm x 15.5mm. It has a TF card expansion slot, which the Skyworth doesn’t.
The Ichiyi TV, on the other hand, is compact, about the size of an Oreo cookie and weighing only 24g. It’s highly portable, fitting easily into a pocket. Its plastic body has a matte texture, and it only has two micro-interfaces for power and HDMI output.
**Performance:** Choosing a TV box isn’t just about the CPU. If you care about smoothness and video bit rate, the processor and memory matter. For local videos, storage space is important. For HD online streaming, Wi-Fi support is crucial.
The Haimei Di H7 four generations stand out with Amlogic S912 + 2GB memory, supporting 4K@60fps decoding and HDR10. The Xiaomi Box 3S and Penguin Aurora Box use Amlogic S905X and S905, which are slightly less powerful. The Glory Box allows up to 64GB expansion, while the Ichiyi TV relies more on internet content.
**System:** The UI and system architecture are important. Unlike phones, TVs require remote controls. The system should be clear and easy to navigate. Testing included UI layout, Wi-Fi connection, and search operations.
The Ichiyi TV offers a more flexible experience due to its mobile integration, making Wi-Fi setup easier. Voice search is supported by the Haimei Di H7 and Penguin Aurora Box, improving convenience.
**Resources:** Full-network search is essential. The Ichiyi TV aggregates over 20+ apps, providing comprehensive access to online content. Other boxes have limited resources, with some showing ads. The Ichiyi TV and Haimei Di H7 are recommended for minimal ads.
**Screen Casting:** Screen casting is increasingly popular. All five boxes support DLAN projection, and some allow offline casting. The Ichiyi TV excels in low delay and multi-screen interaction.
**Features:** Advanced features like headphone listening, screenshot capture, and PPT projection are valuable. The Ichiyi TV supports these, along with acting as a wireless hotspot.
**Price:** The Ichiyi TV offers good value, with membership benefits and cable TV support. It also saves money by allowing mobile members to access TV content without extra charges.
In conclusion, both the Ichiyi TV and Haimei Di H7 are strong choices. The Haimei Di H7 is ideal for enthusiasts, while the Ichiyi TV suits those looking for a mobile-friendly, feature-rich experience. For families, the Ichiyi TV is particularly well-suited.
