The LeTV Box U4 was initially priced at just 299 yuan when it first launched. However, due to rising material costs, the price soon increased to 349 yuan. Now, this music box has seen a further hike of 100 yuan, bringing its current price up to 399 yuan. Is this 100-yuan price increase worth it? Should you consider buying the LeTV U4? Let’s take a closer look at this device and see if it’s really worth your money.
The LeTV U4 features a unique "sandwich" style design. Its compact square body measures 100mm x 100mm x 10.8mm, making it ultra-thin and lightweight. At just 10.8mm thick, it feels familiar and easy to handle. The internal structure is well-organized, with a clean and neat layout. The top panel has a matte finish, and only a single LeTV logo with the “LE†emblem stands out, giving it a sleek and elegant appearance that resembles a starry night sky.
Due to its ultra-thin design, the LeTV U4 doesn’t have an abundance of ports. It includes one HDMI 2.0 port, one USB 2.0 port, and a power interface — standard for most budget TV boxes.
In terms of hardware, the LeTV U4 is powered by the Amlogic S905 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. It supports Bluetooth 4.1 and H.265 decoding, which puts it in line with mainstream performance levels.
The system UI uses a flat card layout with a color-coded design, offering a more visually appealing and organized experience. All app modules are neatly arranged, making navigation intuitive and user-friendly.
The LeTV U4 not only provides content from LeTV.com but also integrates CIBN's broadcast control platform, offering a broader range of content compared to previous models. This makes it more versatile for users who enjoy streaming services.
The remote control for the standard version of the LeTV U4 is a basic infrared remote. While it's simple and functional, it lacks any standout features or special design elements.
When comparing the LeTV U4 to other similar TV boxes on the market, its price of 399 yuan still seems high. For instance, the Mi Box 3s, which offers comparable specs, is available for just 249 yuan. If you're not a big fan of LeTV's ecosystem or don't prioritize its specific content, there may be better options available. However, if you value the brand and the content it offers, the LeTV U4 could still be a solid choice.
