Nowadays, the importance of TV boxes to the family can be said to be indispensable, and I have also found a lot of experience from stepping on the pits over the years. Today, I have a wave of 2021 TV box recommendations, namely Tmall’s Magic Box 4Pro, Mi Box 4 and Taijie WE40, of course, there will be a ranking if there is a comparison, who should choose these three TV boxes? Please listen to me one by one below.
Tmall’s Magic Box is characterized by its own shopping function, and it also provides convenience for the shopping platform and can divert its traffic. The TV box was originally made to occupy the smart home entrance, but there were few new products in these two years, and the system update speed was also slow.
The characteristic feature of the Mi Box is that there are relatively many functions and gameplays. The TV box was made in 2012 to build a smart home TV terminal. However, with the increase of the Xiaomi brand product line, the speed of new Mi Boxes slowed down and the system update frequency was not too much.
Taijie WEBOX is an old brand with 10 years of audio and video research and development experience. It has been aiming to create enthusiast-level performance for TV. The fluency of Taijie box is known as one of the top three channels. There is no advertisement for watching TV. Welcomed by users, Double Eleven in 2020 will also rank first in sales of Tmall boxes.
Well, the above background about the three major TV box brands is introduced here. The following is a comparison from the four aspects of hardware configuration, video experience, system optimization, and appearance craftsmanship.
○Hardware configuration
Tmall Magic Box 4Pro: 2+16G, the configuration is relatively high, the crystal morning chip
Xiaomi box 4: more functions and play methods, 2+8G, the crystal morning chip
Taijie WE40: 3+32G, configured by major international manufacturers, Rockchip
processor and memory size have a great impact on the fluency of the TV box, so the hardware configuration mainly starts with these two pieces.
Tmall’s Magic Box 4Pro and Mi Box 4 both use Jingchen chips. Like Mi Box 4, it has more functions and gameplay, because it performs well in terms of security and HD engine; Taijie WE40 TV box uses Rockchip The chip has high fluency and powerful performance, because the video decoding ability is notoriously good.
memory,Taijie WE40 is the highest, with a 3+32G collocation, and it also uses major international manufacturers such as Hynix and Toshiba; Tmall Magic Box 4Pro is a 2+16G collocation, and the configuration is relatively high; Mi Box 4 configuration Among the three TV boxes, they are relatively small, 2+8G, and the price is the cheapest. However, although the Taijie WE40 is expensive, many people say that it has a long life span. It is not a problem after three to five years.
○Video experience
Tmall’s Box 4Pro: mainly watching 4K freezes, the intro ad is at least 65 seconds
Mi Box 4: 1080P, 4K need two or three seconds to buffer, the intro ad at least 89 seconds
Thai Czech WE40: 1080P, 4K smooth playback without pressure, 0 ad placement
The second part is to compare the video experience. After all, the TV box is mainly for watching videos. In this regard, you can compare the video fluency and ad placement. .
First of all, if the advertisement is placed, the Tmall Magic Box 4Pro TV box has at least 65 seconds of introductory advertisement. If you watch the video fluency, because the configuration is high, like watching the video during the day and night, the video is smooth and not stuck in most cases. Sometimes watching 4K is more stuck, mainly when fast forwarding and rewinding, but you will not encounter low The price box is like one card at every turn.
Mi Box 4 has a lot of ad placements. As for the introductory ad, there are 89 seconds, and 10-15 seconds of ad will appear in the middle of the video. Because the configuration is the lowest among the three TV boxes, the fluency can be seen. Sometimes the playback will require two or three seconds of buffering time, especially 1080P and 4K. Of course, the fluency will be higher after buffering.
There is no need to worry about the placement of Taijie WE40 TV box advertisements, because there is no at all, not only there is no introductory advertisement, but no advertisement will jump out during watching the video. In terms of fluency, Taijie WE40 is the highest among the three TV boxes.High-definition, 1080P, 4K smooth playback without pressure, fast forward and backward watching videos can also be smooth and not stuck.
○System optimization
Tmall’s Box 4Pro: 10 seconds to boot ads, which is cumbersome to operate
Mi Box 4: 15 seconds to boot ads, the waterfall flow design operation is more complicated
Taijie WE40: no implant Starting the advertisement, the elderly and children can easily get started
The system optimization of the TV box directly reflects the speed of operation. After all, there are always people of different ages in a family. Of course, boot speed and sensitivity should also be considered.
In this case, the Tmall Magic Box 4Pro inevitably implanted a boot advertisement for about 10 seconds. After booting to the desktop, I found that the operating sensitivity is fairly high. In terms of operation, the Tmall’s Box 4Pro desktop design has different content categories horizontally, including TV series, movies, variety shows, etc., and vertical content is specific for each category. It is cumbersome to find content in actual operation, not to mention the actual use of the elderly.
Mi Box 4 boot advertisement is also unavoidable. There are 15 seconds, which slows down the boot progress. When operating on the desktop, the sensitivity is high and no delay is felt. Because its desktop adopts waterfall flow design, it is divided into first-level and second-level menus, which is more complicated to operate, and it is not humane enough for the elderly.
Taijie WE40 does not have a boot advertisement, and it starts quickly because the system is deeply optimized. There is no delay in the operation of the remote control and the response speed is very fast. The desktop is a card-like design, with Taijie video, casual look, application store and other software, the operation is not complicated, the elderly and children can also easily use it without difficulty.
○Appearance craftsmanship
Tmall’s Magic Box 4Pro: high color value, metal texture can dissipate heat
Mi Box 4: simple wind design style, no cooling holes
Taijie WE40: light luxury, texture, heat dissipation Okay, I won’t use it for a long time
Tmall’s Box 4Pro has a special color scheme.The red design looks very dazzling, eye-catching, bold and high-profile, but the appearance is indeed high. In terms of heat dissipation, the Tmall Magic Box 4Pro TV box does not have a heat dissipation hole, but because its material is metal, it can emit a certain amount of heat after watching the video for a long time, and it is still less hot.
The Mi Box 4 has an ordinary shape, a white design, and a compact size. It follows a simple style. In terms of heat dissipation, due to its small size and no cooling holes, the temperature rises quickly after watching TV for three or four hours, which is quite hot to the touch, and the smoothness of watching videos is not as good as when it was just turned on.
The shape of the Taijie WE40 TV box is unique. The shape of the flying saucer + piano paint process looks very light and luxurious, and the workmanship has a texture. For heat dissipation, Taijie WE40 is designed with a circle of heat dissipation holes. When watching TV on weekends for more than ten hours, the temperature is almost the same as when it was first turned on. The fluency is also high, and it will not get stuck for a long time.
The above is my 2021 TV box recommendation. Everyone is still entangled in the Tmall box, Xiaomi box and Taijie who should I choose? In fact, the three TV boxes are generally good. If you want to choose the best one, I personally prefer Taijie WE40, because watching videos is smooth without ads, and the operation is simpler than the other 2 TV boxes. .
