Which H8 box is better? Six eight-core box comparison evaluation

The Quan Zhi H8 chip is one of the main chips used in the current eight-core box. Infinc, Kaibor, UT Egg 1S, and so on, the current mainstream eight-core TV box products for insomnia all have H8 eight-core chips. Today, Xiao Bian will conduct comparative evaluations on several boxes that use the Quan Zhi H8 eight-core chip. Which box is better?

I. Overview:

2 Quan Zhi H8 eight-core processor overview:

At the Hong Kong show in autumn 2014, Quan Zhi Technology, a leader in application processor design, officially announced its new generation of ultra-high performance H8 eight-core processors, which are mainly aimed at high-end gaming and video intelligent set-top boxes. Quan Zhi H8 eight nuclear based on TSMC's latest leading 28-nanometer manufacturing process, uses eight ARM Cortex-A7 cores, supports 8-core 2.0GHz high-speed operation, and with Imagination's powerful PowerVR SGX544 image processing architecture, operating frequency up to 700M Around, it ensures the excellent game performance and smooth UI experience of the smart set-top box.

Comments: All-winner Allwinner H8 eight-core processor compared to other Cpu, the advantage is still very obvious, eight-core CPU plus eight-core Gpu configuration, powerful local resolution, play MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, Video formats such as ISO, DAT, MPG, MPEG, RM, etc. must be stress-free. Judging from the evaluation of the past evaluation of the open-wrestling H8 equipped with open-air F2 and Infiniti i12 point of view, Quan Zhi H8 whether it is in the support system operation or playback analysis has a very good performance.



Second, the box display:

The six smart Internet TV set top boxes participating in the Hengping review have both been on the hot market for a period of time and have new faces to be listed. Which box is it? Judging by the king is not a good thing, they are: Kai Bol F2, open Boer C9 eight nuclear version, Infini i8, Infik i9, Infinik i12 and UT egg 1S. Infinity’s solution for H8 has made Infinico occupy half of the country. Then we look at the next one:

1 open Bor F2:

At first glance, the host of Boron will be surprised: Isn't this a router? The router is too similar. It is very recognizable in the smart box. The front of the machine is a bright white design with a gray open BOR logo in the middle. When the next two "small tentacles" stand up, the whole machine still looks very cute. The front of the main unit is an infrared receiver and power-on indicator. The open bottom of the Korbor F2 box is surrounded by cooling holes. There are anti-slip pads on the bottom corners, and some simple equipment information and 3C certification are in the middle. The back of the open Boer F2 box is where all the interfaces are, from left to right are: AV interface, USB interface, network port, HDMI port and power port. The entire body does not have a MicroSD card slot.

2 open Bor C9 eight nuclear edition:

And Kaibor F2 division out of the same door, but in appearance compared to open Bor F2, can be described as different styles. The opener C9 eight-core version uses a more straight-line design language, which looks more sturdy and concise than the Kaibor F2. Open Boer C9 eight nuclear version of the machine to round the square as the bottom, high 28MM. In terms of receivers, Kaibor's consistent style is also reflected. Behind the Kaibol C9 enhanced version are two "long tentacles." On the front is the open Bor logo and infrared receiver. The interface, the basic and open Bor, from left to right are: AV interface, USB2.0 interface × 2, reset hole, network port, HDMI port and power port. The entire body also does not have a MicroSD card slot.

3 Infinik i8:

Infiniti i8 eight nuclear version uses a very simple and refreshing ivory white color, body with white as the main color, in the eight-core version of the Infik i8 body around a transparent plastic belt, a printed LOGO pattern and Alibaba Cloud OS LOGO color plastic paper seal inside. Above the fuselage is a metal material Infinity brand LOGO. The Infini i8 eight-core version of the rear interface and the quad-core version of the same, from left to right are AV interface, USB2.0 interface × 2, network port, HDMI port and power port. Can be described as the excuse of the two previous open Bors, even the AV port is the same split. In addition to these, the information on the appearance of the box is the system of the machine, because the logo of the orange Ali cloud system is particularly striking on the background of ivory. The bottom of the Infik i8 is covered with cooling holes, and at the same time, a four-point anti-slip mat is added at the bottom to ensure good heat dissipation and a good anti-slip effect. Infinick i8 eight nuclear version comes standard with a vertical card holder, to facilitate the erection of the box, which is a shape design patent for Infineon box.


4 Infinik i9:

The Infinity i9 eight-core rejects the conventional set-top box shape, uses a streamlined white polished high-quality plastic design, and the specially designed bottom supports the wall-hanging mode. This vertical and horizontal model is patented by Infinik. , just mentioned when the Infinity i8. The top and surrounding chamfers are outlined with tender green lines that look more vibrant than Infinity i8. In front of the front of the front is an infrared receiver that stars blue during work. Other aspects are the same as the Infik i8: the bottom of the fuselage is covered with cooling holes, and at the same time, a four-point anti-slip mat is added at the bottom to ensure good heat dissipation and a good anti-slip effect. The interface only has one more toggle switch than the Infinity i8 eight-core version:


5 Infinik i12:

The Infinik I12 uses a similar sandwich design to the Infinity I8. The top and bottom are white. The difference is that the interlayer of the Infinik i12 is green. It seems that the green strip of the Infik i9 is directly vertical. Line to surface, it can be considered the Infik i12 set of previous generations. In front of the box is an infrared receiver and indicator light, powered by blue, and Infinity's English logo - inphic. At the bottom of the Infik I12 box are some heat vents, with non-slip mat designs on the four corners, and the English logo is still in the middle. Infineon I12 box interface is located in the back of the fuselage, from left to right are: AV interface, USB interface, network port, HDMI port and power port.

6UT Egg 1S:

The shape of UT Egg 1S is the most special among these six intelligent network set-top boxes. It is also the most used design language for previous generations. How to describe it? In a word, in fact, UT Egg 1S is an egg-based intelligent network. Top box. On the side is the UT egg's logo. There is also a metal base underneath the entire machine. The base is a number of bar codes, there are some simple device information, 3C certification, etc. The bottom is tightly bound to the egg itself, and there is no need to worry about the gap between the plane and the convex surface. The interface of the machine is all located on the back of the body, from top to bottom are: USB interface, Micro SD card slot, HDMI output port, physical switch key and power port. Unlike other machines, the fuselage does not have an AV port, compared to the previous generation, there is a physical switch button:

Judging from the appearance of these boxes, Kaibul's box has its own highly recognizable "buds", while Infik has its own distinctive features and distinctive brand features such as green elements on the machine. The use of the body, the bottom of the cooling holes and so on. Not to mention the UT Egg 1S, the name will explain everything.

Here is a small secret. Since Kaibor’s learning remote is very similar to Infinik’s remote control, the reviewer is curious to remotely control Infinik’s box with Kepler’s remote control (without any settings) ), the result is usable, and vice versa. In addition, the six boxes do not have the same appearance in appearance, Xiao Bian think there are still, that is, the size of these boxes are not small. According to the official data, the evaluation king also calculated the lower volume “roughly”. Ha ha. Why use quotation marks? Because judging from the fact that the mathematics has never been good, it directly calculates the volume by multiplying the official length, breadth, and height of the data. Of course, this is not accurate because the shape of the box is not all straight, and there are many curves. Everyone should be a rough reference:

However, although it is a rough result, but from the results point of view is basically in line with the actual, UT Egg 1S and Infiniti i9 is more space.

Comments: On the appearance of the comments, evaluation of the king and to say that sentence, the box is good or bad, this involves the personal aesthetic, Western saying goes: one hundred people have a hundred hearts Hamlet, which one Which is beautiful and beautiful, we all know what we have in mind.

Third, the hardware configuration:

This evaluation is based on a unified Cpu. The details of the Cpu have been described in detail in the first part, so I will not repeat it here. The second part of the interface is also very detailed. Our part is mainly to look at the memory and other aspects of information. In terms of memory configuration, what is more interesting is that the six boxes all have a combination of 1GB memory and 8GB flash memory. Both are equipped with two USB2.0 interfaces. However, only UT Egg 1S supports TF card storage, and there is no AV cable interface for other boxes. But in the hardware configuration, UT Egg 1S is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 technology, with Bluetooth 4.0, Bluetooth handle, Bluetooth audio is not a problem.

Comments: It was a coincidence that, in addition to the unanimous chip plan, even the use of memory is consistent, it really makes it difficult to choose. But UT Egg 1S is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, and even a Bluetooth controller to play the game is still very good, especially for those who like to play the game, UT Egg 1S is a good choice.

Fourth, the system UI contrast:

In this section, the six boxes are divided into three camps, because the three machines in the Infik are basically the same in terms of UI and content, and the same is true of the two open-Korb models, and the remaining UT eggs are left. 1S. And in addition to the UT egg 1S uses the Android 4.4, the other five models are all using the Ali cloud system YunOS. This part of the content is only focused on looking at the UI design and layout of various brands without further research:

1 Let's look at Kaibol:

Kaibol's boot animation subdivision can be divided into three parts: The first is Kaibol's LOGO, and there is no text information during the period. Then the system and Kai Bor appeared side by side. The information obtained from it was that Kai Bor was using the Yun OS system, not the Android system. The last is the UI used by the whole machine: KIUI7. The entire process did not appear to have the information of the licensee Fang Hua Digital Media. KIUI uses bright colors, divided into three parts from top to bottom: the top shortcut and prompt area, the middle content display area and the bottom DOCK area:



home page


The second page is a video recommendation, similar to the home page. On the right is a video showing some selected TV shows, movies, etc.

set:


TV



With the education page of Khyber, the education page can be said to be a section for children and children, and it focuses on the children's hall inside. There are children's animations, children's dances, etc. in the children's hall. There are also some enlightening education videos:


Children's Hall


On the game page, we are still talking about the focus of the game hall. The game hall is equivalent to the game market. The categories and contents are very rich. There are games controlled by the remote control, games controlled by the mouse, and games controlled by the joystick. :


Games Lobby


The final part is the shopping section. The shopping section shows the content of the more recent festivals or fire topics. For example, the most recent holiday is Children's Day. This section shows children's clothing and toys, and of course what is the charge is also on this page. of. Shopping pages and other boxes using Hua Digital Media are similar:


shopping


After finishing the content, it is important to look at the DOCK content. This is also a big difference from other boxes: What is DOCK? DOCK is an abbreviation for Dockbar. The most common DOCK applications are on the iOS system and OS X and are similar to the Windows taskbar and quick launch bar. The bottom line of the open BOR KIUI page is the DOCK of the application LOGO. There are some unchangeable shortcuts in Kebor's dock. The main ones are settings, cost-effective, application center, media center, etc.


DOCK


2 Infinity System UI:

Both Infineon and Kaiboer use Alibaba Cloud system and the licensees are all Chinese, so no matter what the content or system operation is, the biggest difference is UI layout. Let's take a look at Infineon. Gram's UI layout: The main interface is divided into seven sections: Recommendations, Movies, Shopping, Games, Education, Applications, and Tools. Each main page is divided into three parts from top to bottom, the top is the Infinik logo, network, time and so on. In the middle is the content display area. At the bottom, there is only the address of Infinity official website in the lower right corner:

Boot

Enter the UT Egg 1S home page, the homepage is very concise, mainly recommended, Mango TV, games, applications and settings. The top left of the home page is the logo of UT Egg and Mango TV. On the right is the area, wifi and time. The settings have just been mentioned, the following look at the recommendation, the recommendation is a small window display of the carousel, generally 3 content, there are games, videos, etc., click to download or watch.



3UT Egg 1S:

The UT egg 1S power, turn on the power switch (UT egg 1S physical switch button), boot screen can be described as gorgeous, feel the next:



Boot


Enter the UT Egg 1S home page, the homepage is very concise, mainly recommended, Mango TV, games, applications and settings. The top left of the home page is the logo of UT Egg and Mango TV. On the right is the area, wifi and time. The settings have just been mentioned, the following look at the recommendation, the recommendation is a small window display of the carousel, generally 3 content, there are games, videos, etc., click to download or watch.



recommend


Next is the core content, Mango TV, Mango TV which basically covers all video resources within the UT Egg 1S, you can see the recently seen and movie search. When you enter Mango TV, you can see a lot of categories inside. From the top down, the main content is the content display above, the middle is the classification, the bottom is the operation:



Mango TV


Next is the "game", the first landing game, but you need to login, use WeChat to scan on the ok, enter the game interface, is equivalent to a game store, there are categories, there are topics, the game is also quite a lot of (applicable to similar, pending I will not repeat them in a moment):



game


In the end, it is a local file. Opening a local file is actually an ES file manager. The es file manager is powerful enough to perform day-to-day file management:



Document management


Comments: Alibaba Cloud System adopted by Kaibor and Infik integrates shopping into the market, and the irrevocable way is an imposing act. After all, the shopping experience with a box is far less convenient than using a computer or a mobile phone app. There are few products on the market and you want to use a remote control to press one button at a time, so the experience is not good. If you can put shopping into the second level menu, Du Yu’s testimonials would be perfect. UT Egg 1S uses the Android system UI and uses Mango TV license. Content is still very rich, but just need to bind the account or something everywhere. For young people, that is fine. For middle-aged and old users, this UI is probably not so friendly.

Fifth, local video audio playback analysis:

In the first part of the resolution of the H8 is also introduced, because the analysis of the configuration of several boxes, so this part is only for the H8 eight-core processor, not for the box. It is still the first test video file. In terms of movie playback, the decoding method is very important. The formats supported by Infinico i8 cover the current popular formats including AVI/DIVX, FLV/F4V, WMV/ASF, 3GP/3G2/3GPP, MP4/M4VMPEG/MPG/DAT/VOB/EVO/VOB, TS /M2TS, MKV/WEBM, MOV, etc. Look through the situation:



video


Video screenshot:









Let's look at the audio test results:


Audio frequency


Comments: Quan Zhi H8's analytical ability is still very powerful. The video or movie bit rate that we usually download is not as high as the test video at all, and generally it is 1M more. And in addition to the hard solution of the box, the box is not limited to the installation of third-party software, so the installation of a third-party player software solution is also a good format, like MX Player or kodi, soft solution capabilities are very good .

Contrast evaluation summary:

Some of the boxes involved in the comparison have not yet been listed. Therefore, there is no way to give a comment on the price. From the current comparison results, the Infik i9 has the best hardware and the highest running score. As for the appearance and system UI, each box has its own characteristics, depending on personal preferences, if you choose high performance and high performance, you should choose Infinity i9, Open Bor C9 and Open Bor F2. Select UT egg 1S.
