Like LeTV, LeTV U4 also has a built-in EUI 5.8 smart operating system based on a large screen interactive experience. EUI breaks the boundaries of platforms, content, terminals, and Internet applications, integrates ecological chains vertically, and creates multi-dimensional user experiences. In-depth operation of many types of desktop operating systems, cool intelligent interactive interaction, advanced functional design, only HDMI cable connection can make you have subversive user value.
The design of the music box U4 represents the most ingenious design today. It is equipped with an ARM A53 64-bit 4-core processor, 2GB of operating memory + 8GB of flash memory (U4 Pro is 16GB), and supports 802.1 1ac in a thickness of only 10.8mm. The dual-band dual-antenna WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, and smart Bluetooth audio remote control and other industry-leading configuration, native support H.265 4K video hard solution, Dolby and DTS dual audio technology certification.
LeTV U4 domestic bare metal price is only 299 yuan. In addition, there is a member version of the price of 399 yuan (including 6 months of super film and television members), as well as a year of ultra-video members of the music box U4 Pro Eco Edition (configuration is also upgraded to 16GB of internal storage space + Bluetooth voice remote control), The price is only 499 yuan. We must know that the price of LeTV is 490 yuan, and that for 6 months is also about 300 yuan. This has become the "buy member to send hardware" model.
Like LeTV, LeTV U4 has the same core configuration in different versions. It only distinguishes between storage space and remote control configurations that do not affect user experience. This can guarantee that at the same time of lowering the price threshold, fans who purchase products can have the same large-screen ecological experience.
Taking the U4 Pro Eco Edition with the top specification as an example, a single purchase of a 12-month super film and TV member would cost 490 yuan, compared to the "symbol price" of 9 yuan for a top-selling U4 box.
The packaging of LeTV U4 matches the style of LeTV in recent years. The white carton is simple and elegant. There is only one colorful Le "Le" Logo on the front of the box, and there is only one detailed product information tag on the back.
The close-up of the label on the back of the box includes various types of information including product model, serial number, and technical specification certification. In addition to Bluetooth 4.1 and HDMI 2.0, the LeTV U4 has also been certified by Dolby Audio and DTS HD dual audio technology.
After the box was out of the box, the manual first came out and sold a subsection.
Let's take a closer look at the level of intentions of the product. The four faces inside the box are yellow, gray, red, and blue, which add up to four main colors used by the LeTV logo.
Close the lid of the box and reveal exactly four colored threads.
In fact, there is an egg here, and the interior of the lid is also full of wonderful design. I won't say anything here, wait until you buy one and see for yourself.
In the box structure, LeTV made a two-tier design, in addition to other accessories outside the power adapter are incorporated into the box under the fuselage, and released in mid-Year sports Bluetooth headset and other products in the same strain.
LeTV U4's unpacking family portrait. In addition to the U4 box host, there is a newly designed Bluetooth voice remote control, a universal wide-voltage power adapter, support for 4K and HDMI 2.0 cables, as well as manuals and two AAA 7 batteries.
Product information such as a complete packing list can be found in the manual, without worrying about missing or forgetting anything.
Positive, frosted, simple and generous, with sufficient resistance to fingerprints and oil.
The concave "LE" logo and the sides of the camera are all mirror-finished. The contrast with the front of the matte material is full of visual impact.
LeTV U4 also has a frosted material on the back of the box. The edge between the bottom shell and the bottom surface is designed to be edging. The bottom surface is covered with a giant rubber non-slip cushion. The middle of the cushion is also the concave "LE" logo. The lower part of the pad is affixed with a product information label.
The bottom of the fuselage rubber cushion close-up. The rubber pad has enough thickness and protrudes from the bottom surface. At the same time, the anti-slip can effectively protect the bottom of the body from being scratched by foreign particles such as dust particles.
LeTV U4's expansion interface is located at the back of the fuselage, from left to right in order for HDMI 2.0, USB 2.0 and power outlets.
The front of the fuselage is hidden in the middle of a soft white LED lights, in the power, boot and other use scenarios can give different status tips.
The biggest highlight of LeTV U4 in appearance design is undoubtedly the ultra-thin design of only 10.8mm. It is the world's thinnest smart TV box, completely subverting the thick, large, heavy and rough oldness of people's box products. Concept.
To compare coins, LeTV's thickest box is only a little over half the diameter of a dime coin.
1, remote control
LeTV U4 Pro Eco Edition comes standard with a Bluetooth audio remote controller. The main difference between this model and the regular remote controller is that it has a built-in Bluetooth module and a high-definition microphone. You can use LeTV's exclusive Lele Voice function through a Bluetooth connection. , For precision control such as voice recognition control, which cannot be achieved with conventional remote controls, it is easy to have fun with smart boxes.
U4 box remote control button layout and Super TV with a super remote control 3 is quite similar, the remote control keys wide spacing, key sub-grain slightly protruding from the panel, the key feedback force is moderate and clear, do not see after getting started short-term adaptation High-efficiency blind operation of the remote controller.
The back of the remote control adopts an ergonomic arc-shaped design. The curvature of the back surface conforms to the palm of the hand and holds hands. There will be no foreign body sensation when used for a long time.
LeTV U4 box remote controller uses two AAA 7 batteries to provide power. The battery capacity is much longer than the CR2025/2032 button battery used by the same trader. It is very easy to buy and replace the battery, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the children swallowing. Sexual issues.
2, power adapter
Like the U4 box body design, the power adapter included with LeEco is also a front matte, logo, and side mirror design. At the same time, a large protective apron is designed at the power line connection, which ensures that the wire is not damaged. The external force is bent and damaged.
In addition to the box itself, U4 box will be light and thin to carry out the final credit, presumably also have a power adapter. Picking it up reminded me of the iPhone's charger. In fact, it is slightly larger than the iPhone charger, but the power is more than three times more powerful (at the same time, it also needs a larger volume).
Also take a dime coin to make a comparison.
1, configuration
Amlogic's top processor, the S905, has an A53 architecture 64-bit quad-core CPU with a five-core Mali-450 GPU to ensure that the U4 box is powerful enough.
The so-called surgery industry specializes. As the industry matures, the positioning of industry chain participants in the industry is increasingly clear. In the industry's excellent chip solutions, MStar (Morningstar Semiconductor) is the first choice for smart TVs, and Amlogic (Crystal Semiconductors) is the box. Both of them are also well-positioned.
Of course, this is not without exception, as the core partner of Qualcomm, LeTV chose the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 top processor for its own 4th generation Super TV 4 Max70. However, this requires brands with sufficient technical strength to carry out additional circuit design optimization and electronic component matching, so it is not affordable for general mass products in terms of product positioning and selling price.
2, performance
As an instigator of the domestic “unwilling to take a break†trend, AnTutu has always been the software of choice for performance testing. The following tests were conducted using Ann Bunny TV version 6.0.1. In this version of the security Bunny test, LeTV's final score was 36,744 points.
As we all know, a smart phone/television/box that uses the Android system, the core of the use requirement is whether it can be used smoothly, and this directly depends on the level of system hardware performance. LeTV U4 is priced at 299 yuan. Its system performance far exceeds a group of "fine-smart TVs" that are "high-configured, high-performance, cost-effective" self-contained Internet brands. It is a portable version of "LTV".
