228 yuan worth not worth buying? Huawei glory box voice evaluation

I don’t know if my friends still remember the new regulations for the strictest TV box announced by the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television in November last year. Many live broadcasts were blocked, and the days of using boxes to watch “illegal” videos are gone forever. This statement of death was full of internet all of a sudden. However, some manufacturers still insisted on updating box products. Huawei is one of them.


In December last year, Huawei officially released its glory new generation TV box - the glory box voice, and this hardware is not just a TV box so simple. Huawei announced during the press conference that through the advantages of Huawei's own communications technology, it will create a more open smart home ecosystem. The honor box voice is also an integral part of this ecosystem. The intelligent furniture ecology is a kind of Internet of Things. As a major trend in the future, can the glory box voice play a good role in it? We try.

The contents of the package are very simple. In addition to the honor box voice, the HDMI cable, remote control, and instructions are also delivered. With the pure white style of the honor box voice, the accessories also use white as the main color.

The plastic of the remote control is somewhat strong, but the price of the voice box is 228 yuan. This kind of work is also basically acceptable.

The remote controller is connected to the TV box using Bluetooth. The user can also connect other Bluetooth devices to the TV box, such as a Bluetooth headset.


Look back at the glory box voice itself. This plug-in design is still very harmonious in the home layout. If there is a white wall, it is easy to ignore this small TV box.

As for the resource issues that people are most concerned about, Glory Box’s voice chose to cooperate with GITV. As the platform authorized by the SARFT, it is certainly limited in resources. It is also for this reason that the resources of the Voyage Box voice are somewhat worrying. Despite the number of movies and television series, there are several thousand, but many really want to see it is still relatively small, and some resources still need to be viewed by the Lychee VIP. full version.

Huawei glory box voice video details



Although Xiao Bian has seen popular cartoons such as “One Piece” and “Naruto” in the course of the day, it has prompted that the resources are wrong.


There are some movies and videos with 4K resolution. You can select them and play them smoothly, but you always feel that there is something wrong with the colors and you don’t know if it is an issue of individual resources.


Of course, the lack of resources can be compensated by another way. The use of glory box voice to install Tencent's cloud audio-visual applications can add a lot of resources, but many excellent US dramas or movies are still recommended to be downloaded locally to the Micro SD card and then inserted into the box to watch. It must be said that the SARFT's blockade of numerous TV software is simply worse for a TV platform with a small amount of resources. If there is not a good solution to resources, then the development of smart TV platforms in the mainland will be It will be slower.







Regardless of the resourcefulness, we still have a glimpse of the hallmarks of the glory box voice, which is to support voice manipulation. Press the language button on the remote control to speak, release to complete, and WeChat voice is a logic, it is easy to use, and the recognition accuracy rate is still quite high. In the language options, different dialects can also be selected. Mandarin, Cantonese and Sichuan dialects are currently available. Cantonese and Sichuan dialects all display the words “Preliminary”. It seems that the follow-up may also increase other local dialects.

In addition to different dialects, users can also choose different vocals. For example, Putonghua provides a few different system vocals, what are the "Xiaoqiang" and "Xiaoqian" and so on. These names are also grounding gas.


Do you think it's just a different voice? No! There are a few voices in the option but still have a little accent! Xiao Bian first heard almost sprayed rice. As far as the accent is concerned, I don't know anything about it. It's just that this grounding approach suddenly made me think this voice is a bit cute.




Xiao Bian simply tested what Vocal Voice voice could do in the end. After a simple use, Xiao Bian found that the operation of playing a certain movie program through a voice calling system or watching a program such as fast forward, rewind, pause, and play can be realized, but when the program is played, the system is called to switch the definition. In case of failure, the system will directly identify the movie that plays "the definition is transferred to 720p", and the system is called to play a movie and it will not be played directly. You must press the play button to do it yourself. I feel this can be improved.








At the beginning, Xiao Bian mentioned that the glory box voice belongs to the “Huawei HiLink Project”. This TV box is also the first box product supporting the HiLink protocol. With Glory Routing, you can implement one-click Internet access without having to configure your own wireless network. Huawei's ambition is to realize the interconnection of furniture. The entire smart life platform is connected through the HiLink protocol. In this case, the Voice of Honor Box is only the first step in the construction of Huawei's Internet of Things. The addition of follow-up products will gradually reveal the outstanding features of the project.


As for the glory box voice alone this box product, Xiao Bian believes that the current environment can not force, the SARFT restrictions make the development of television platforms difficult, glory box voice like this product or put the system in a sound era .
