In November of last year, I was fortunate enough to get the millet box 3 for the first time. Its newly added voice search function greatly simplifies the operation of the box and makes me full of praise. Unexpectedly, only three months later, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 was born, and the rapid changes in hardware are dizzying.
According to official data, Xiaomi Box 3 Plus (hereinafter referred to as Xiaoqiang) uses a 64-bit six-core processor architecture ---- dual-core A72 + quad-core A53, clocked at up to 2GHz, and powered by Open GL 3.1 Power VR GX6250, built-in 2G RAM and 8GB EMMC 5.0 high-speed flash memory, WLAN module is also in one step, transformed into 2x2 dual transceiver antenna.
The upgrading of core hardware is undeniably a big leap forward, full of sincerity. Just to call it an enhanced version is really a bit of a talent. Of course, the small and powerful killing of the Quartet's configuration also made me expect what kind of black technology the Xiaomi Box 4 could use to attract users.
Appearance: From the round to the atmosphere
Xiaoqiang changed the family styling of the first three generations with a very high degree of recognition, and thoroughly integrated the Apple style design of the Xiaomi Smart Home series. In addition to the difference between the interface and heat sink, Xiaoqiang is almost a white apple TV.
I do not intend to discuss the topic of homage or plagiarism here, because the transformation of this style itself begins with the Xiaomi box. From the Xiaomi box, it can already be called a beautiful home product. Now that Xiaoqiang is no longer a round-necked person, the image of the “toy†in the past is more like a formal dignified household appliance.
Internal: Double the interface and performance
In the era of excess hardware performance, the paper surface parameters are not really important, because the performance of the geometric progression will not necessarily bring the same impression of goodwill. Here we are more specific analysis, where enhanced version in the end, the value is not worth buying it.
1, two together grasping, two together hard
The changes in the expansion interface in the millet box generations of products have, to some extent, mapped out the design team's research and compromise of user requirements at different times. The single USB solution for the millet box 3 is probably the most criticized. After installing some apps, the built-in 4G storage space does not have much food, and once the user uses an external storage device to expand, you have to say goodbye to peripherals such as mouse and keyboard. When I installed the simulator for the millet box 3, I hated gritted teeth and ended up having to solve the problem with USB HUB.
This kind of function switching that requires excessive manual intervention does not conform to the positioning of plug-and-play home appliances for Internet TV boxes. So Xiaoqiang decisively increased the built-in flash memory, even if you suspect that the built-in 8G space is not enough (the actual available space is 4G), two USB ports can also guarantee the expansion of external expansion and peripheral expansion without delay.
Of course, I think that if you can use a TF card slot like the millet box 2, it will be even more perfect.
Well, some people will ask here, and both have given us USB ports. Why doesn't we have a USB 3.0 port?
In fact, this is a legacy issue. USB 3.0 devices will add about 20 db of noise to the 2.4 GHz band during operation, which will seriously interfere with the normal operation of 2.4 GHz devices. So you see, millet router does not support USB 3.0 port?
There are indeed high-end routers that support USB 3.0, but one must be shielded from the USB 3.0 interface, and the other is that the device itself must be bulky to leave more space between the USB 3.0 and the antenna. This can avoid interference. The physique is definitely not a game, so don't miss it.

2, both hands together, both hands together
Xiaoqiang's wireless LAN design still supports the 802.11ac standard, but for the first time, a 2x2 MIMO dual-antenna scheme is used. All right, every officer knows whether this MIMO has a kind of alphabetic characters, but it feels like they can't read together.
In fact, MIMO is the abbreviation of multiple input multiple output ---- this is between the signal transmitting end (such as a router) and the signal receiving end (such as a TV box), through multiple groups of antennas, establishing multiple signal transceiving channels to enhance the signal A scheme for receiving capabilities. In other words, in the past, the Xiaomi box had only one antenna, and Xiaoqiang had two.
In the same network environment, devices supporting MIMO 2x2 must have stronger signal reception capabilities than single-antenna devices of the same specifications, and signal transmission is faster. why? Do you use two hands to type, is the input speed far stronger than a finger meditation?
In other words, sending the same amount of data, the time it takes for Xiaoqiang to receive is roughly one-half that of a single antenna device, which is officially advertised: WIFI transmission rate + 50%.
Another advantage of the 2x2 dual antenna is that it has a higher transmission bandwidth. The single antenna is equivalent to a two-way two-lane vehicle. It can enter and exit two vehicles side by side simultaneously. The dual antenna is equivalent to two-way four-lane and can simultaneously enter and exit four vehicles. Whichever is wider and better to go, needless to say.
The actual test down, Xiaoqiang 802.11ac actual connection speed is even more surprising to me, up to 1052Mbps!!! Rounding this is Gigabit network ah students! 2333......
Well, this is just a joke. Although the value of the connection speed is Gigabit, the loss of wireless transmission is very large. In general, the actual transmission value can reach 1/3 of the theoretical value. But even with 1/3, the actual speed of 300Mbps is enough for you to smoothly watch 4K HD movies on other storage devices on the LAN. Because the vast majority of 4K video, the code rate is 100Mbps up and down, to tell the truth, millet box 3 can withstand this pressure, not to mention Xiaoqiang. Describe it with more easy-to-understand values. Xiaoqiang used 5G WIFI to exchange data with other devices. The copying speed to the Xiaoqiang end can reach 37.5MB/s, even faster than USB 2.0 devices. .
In other words, when you want to watch high-definition movies, you don't need to copy it with a removable hard drive, and you can play it wirelessly.
Incidentally pulled the millet box 3 out of the test, single antenna 802.11ac only 433Mbps connection speed ... ... bought only three months of the owner crying halo in the toilet ... ...
The enhanced version of the millet box 3, whether it is appearance or performance, has made great progress compared to the previous products of its own, and even some aspects can be said to be a great leap forward; and compared to competing products, there is also a considerable degree of ease of use. Advantage. In my opinion, with Xiaoqiang, a NAS can really create a convenient and beautiful home media center for some HD fans.
