The packaging design of Skyworth i71S II is much simpler than that of the previous two generations. It is designed with white and hard upper and lower covers. The information on the box reveals two important information. The front screen printing champagne gold text is the Skyworth box, and the side gives the love Fantastic art logo, yes, or that classic combination, Skyworth hand in hand love iQi, soft and hard combination, and retained the "i71" homonym code, full of love. On the back of the box, we also identified Skyworth's official post-sale WeChat platform, box serial number, company nameplate, and other information. From the author, I saw that this is local gold.


Big name is stress, Skyworth i71S second generation of internal box packaging using a box design, the host placed on the plastic injection molding mold, protection is more attentive, accessories are organized in a small carton. The cartons are also printed with the product placed inside. Remote control, power adapter, HDMI cable, and two 7-cell batteries, in this era of everyone's very tricky, to send batteries actually makes people feel more intimate.


The manual, certificate, and warranty card are three-in-one, very simple, but practical.


Power adapter is no longer a split-style, there is a little regret, but this slightly larger trapezoidal adapter, regardless of work or design are more intimate, rare banding also makes storage more convenient.


The HDMI 2.0 cable was used on the wire in a timely manner, which is still very good.


Standard remote control for the 12-key design, feel better, simpler operation, key spacing arrangements are also more reasonable, key feedback is good, but the standard version uses infrared remote control, hey, why not also use Bluetooth remote control it? Ultimate uses Bluetooth and voice. The standard version is envious of it, the remote controller uses two No. 7 batteries, this replacement is relatively simple.

Skyworth i71s second generation is also the same as the previous generation, using a colorful design, a total of eight for users to choose, the author is local gold. However, the gold is not obvious, a little bit soil.


There is a small indicator on the left side of Skyworth i71S II, which emits white light during normal work. The body continues to be small, with dimensions of only 95x95x21.5mm, making it easier to find its place.


The appearance of the use of crystal sugar effect of the double injection molding process, with relief Logo design, similar to the jelly texture design is particularly stylish, with 5 UV scratch protection layer, a good make up for easy scratching problems.


Interface, the standard 3.5MM audio interface, HDMI interface, RJ45 network interface, USB interface, DC charging interface, due to Skyworth i71s II built-in Texas Instruments DAC music processing chip, the user can output to the speaker through the audio interface to achieve HIFI level Enjoy the music, of course, if you can take AV output into consideration, it would be better.


At the bottom of the design, the ring pad grip is very good, the other is a number of product parameters, the bottom of the frosted design, texture is also very good.


Of course, in fact, the connotation is the most important, relatively good workmanship and appearance, Skyworth i71s second generation is more "material": 64-bit RK3368 eight-core processor, with Texas Instruments DAC music processing chip, picture quality and sound quality Can double harvest. The Android 5.1 system, GITV broadcast control platform, supports 4K and H.265 hard solutions, i71s second generation is intended to be both hard and soft.

Skyworth i71s II boot friends ~ ~


The boot is very fast, at least a lot faster than it once was, but as a standard version, is this tip really good? Let us only have infrared remote control, then how can we


Secondly, some of the basic settings for booting, this intimate service that is currently widely available does not seem worthy of praise.


The main interface is very familiar to the iQIYI users. Although the mark is the GITV logo, the iQIYI style has stayed in the user's mind. The recommended content combines common movies, TV dramas, variety shows, and special resources. It is also equipped with search, watch history, Aisin APP, VIP members, and current news portals.


Individuals are very happy about the contents of the consultation, and stay at home without knowing the world.


The UI is divided into 9 major versions of recommendations, VIP members, TV dramas, movies, variety shows, anime, music, channels, applications, and settings.



In terms of setting up, the Skyworth i71S II has optimized user experience through some "convenience" settings.


However, during the upgrade of the system, although a new version was suggested, there was no upgrade button, and there were no upgrade prompts on several occasions, which made people feel puzzled.

The upgrading of the interactive experience is an upgrade of this system and supports three main forms of interaction, including Aisin, iQIYI Video App, and Wechat Interactive. APP interaction is similar to the DLNA or AIRPALY protocol push. Most of the boxes are also available, and Aisin is implementing local TV dramas, videos, and pictures via a dedicated APP.



Aisin can implement push content and also support remote control functions. Touch-type remote control is also very convenient. The user can push the “view on TV” to push the selected content of the mobile phone to the TV, and can fast forward/backward, pause/play, and control the volume during the viewing. It can also be shared remotely by "sending friends and relatives."


Wechat interaction is a function of Skyworth box. By focusing on the public Skyworth box, we can control the box within the LAN and support the three functions of WeChat remote control, picture push, and remote installation. Unfortunately, remotely installed software is very rare and its practical role is not great. But as long as you use the U disk or this remote installation method to install a convenient, fast sofa butler (http://), everything is ready to see what you do not have to worry about!


Compared with previous generations of i71, i71s II greatly improved the degree of system compaction, without those annoying built-in applications, the factory left only 5, 6 commonly used software to achieve home hotspot, a key optimization, broadband dialing, etc. Commonly used functions, built-in application store is a short board, but the surprise is that i71s has not yet restricted the installation of third-party software, so you understand.

Skyworth i71s second generation watching friends ~~


UI experience has improved, but is there any progress in content? The second generation of Skyworth i71S is equipped with the central Galaxy Internet TV integrated broadcast control platform. The main content is still from iQIYI. It claims to have 200,000 hours of content. This author cannot count, but I have to say that iQiyi is extremely detailed in its classification: TV drama, movie, animation, variety, children, entertainment, music, travel, documentary, funny, education, sports, film, information, mother and baby, talk show, fashion, life, finance, military, automotive, technology, health, original, HD, Dolby, 4K, 3D zone, VIP members, content resources are very rich.




In particular, 4K, Dolby, 3D and other featured sections are still very interesting.


Of course, there are still many solo broadcasts that are iqiyi’s big killers. For example, the running man who is currently hitting 3, as well as some self-produced dramas such as tomb notes and dark fighters, is also a magic weapon for attracting users.


Of course, the hit TV dramas, movies, etc. are also natural and indispensable, but it is strange that the outstanding offline cache function of iQiyi is not reflected in the box, I do not know why?


However, despite the rich content, there are still a lot of VIP content, you need to purchase to watch, and most of the box, i71s did not give any VIP at the factory, so many home-made dramas, especially the cinema lineup, but also additional viewing fees You can't stand it!


In addition, egg pain ads out of the spoiler, VIP is not light luxury life I do not quite understand, but advertising must be a major factor that makes users disgusted, love the box is to love it without advertising, this ... this ... ... really What do people say?


In addition to watching, shrimp and Himalayan also provide a lot of content that can be heard, with external audio, we can not only see a large film, you can also enjoy the music to bring the sense of hearing beauty.


The built-in celestial karaoke allows users to bring KTV back home. The karaoke effect is still leveraged, but it is necessary to match stereos, microphones and the like, so for i71s II, it only provides content, but it does not build a platform. K song is not so simple.



Due to the strong configuration, for many friends who love to play games, i71s can also be competent for the role of the living room game console, of course, the premise is the need to adapt the handle. The author tried to play with a fly wisdom handle to play a game, experience is still very good, large-scale games such as NBA2K, casual games such as torrent boat, can successfully install and try, how many are still some surprises, of course, due to memory 8G, large games only It is slightly regrettable that we can be 1, 2.




However, although there are many contents, they still need to be supplemented. The built-in market basically has no dry goods, so it is better to install a big screen assistant. For the box, live broadcasting seems to be a must-have feature. HDP live streaming is very good and well-designed. The UI experience is better, hundreds of channels are updated in time, and the effect is still very high-definition.

In addition to the powerful online features, local decoding performance is also very important. Skyworth Box i71s II support 4K decoding, hard-solving H.265 and other most current features, and comes with player features support for external subtitles, a key to switch audio tracks/subtitles, and supports Dolby sound, can be through HDMI Source or decode output to the back-end amplifier to expand up to 7.1-channel home theater.




The result of the local test is as above. The weird thing is that DTS is clearly supported. However, the audio test cannot be opened, and the built-in player may not be powerful enough.

Skyworth box i71s second generation said last point oh ~ ~

For the return of Skyworth box i71s II, the overall experience is still worthy of its configuration, as for the value of Yan, in fact, vegetables and radishes have love, eight kinds of color always have your favorite. However, it does not satisfy the needs of consumers. The content may be the key to success or failure. The i71s II is still good at resource integration. The quality and quantity are praiseworthy. The third party's openness also allows users to like it. Advance consciousness H.265 decoding technology, and hard to solve 4K, at least not in the future. The powerful eight core can also meet the user's needs for the game. In addition, the human-computer interaction promoted by Skyworth also greatly increases the interest in manipulation. Finally, adding a pragmatic price of 299 yuan seems to be very competitive.


Compared with the previous generations of i71 and Skyworth's other box products, i71s II's features are also more distinct. On the hardware, we go to love the arts and content to the creation of Skyworth. Skyworth focuses on hardware design and manufacturing, while iQIYI concentrate on providing Content, this relationship of love and friendship fully exerted its strengths and advantages. Of course, there are still regrets. Although the performance is good, the problem of product differentiation remains unresolved. Objectively speaking, advantages and disadvantages are the same, that is excellent, but excellent lacks some specific highlights.
