Bluetooth speakers have entered the smart era and are no longer as simple as listening to music. At first, the smart Bluetooth speakers that I understood only added a voice assistant and a built-in music library APP, which can play music on demand through voice. Recently I received the Redmi Xiaoai touch screen speaker, which gave me a new understanding of smart speakers. It is a smart speaker + 8-inch tablet.
So what functions does this smart speaker have?
That’s about it, there are other functions that I won’t go into details.
The packaging is larger than I expected. The packaging uses a paper box with a white background. The rendering of the speaker occupies the entire package. In the upper right corner, Xiaomi brand LOGO.
This speaker has an upper and lower design. The upper part is an 8-inch screen, and the lower part is the sound hole of the Bluetooth speaker. This speaker comes in black and white at the front and back.
The back cover of the fuselage is like a cone cut in half. There is a row of heat dissipation holes at the top of the back and a circle near the bottom. The power interface needs to be powered by the standard adapter. I regret that the charging port is not a C port.
There are three buttons on the top of the machine. The one in the middle is the power switch, and the left and right sides are volume + and -. The round holes on both sides of the button should be Mic. , equipped with two omnidirectional microphones to help human-computer interaction.
There are anti-slip rubber gaskets at the bottom of the fuselage.
The appearance design of Redmi Xiaoai Touch Screen Speaker 8 is quite satisfactory and has a popular face. The design is not exaggerated, the latter is very special.
Let’s talk about the experience:
This 8-inch screen is more attractive. If it is a tablet, it may not be so accurate. It does have touch controls and has many built-in apps, but the apps are only pre-installed and no additional apps can be installed. Not a fully functional tablet.
But this APP itself has many pre-installed APPs that can meet many of our application needs. There are video apps such as iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, as well as QQ Music, FM radio, etc., as well as Douyin, Karaoke and other apps, which are relatively comprehensive in terms of audio and video.
There are many popular science applications in it, involving food, science, and medical knowledge. Needless to say, the most basic functions such as checking the weather and alarm clock, the content is quite rich.
What’s the use? If you have enough Xiaomi products at home, you can use the Redmi Xiaoai Touch Screen Speaker 8 to control them uniformly. You can use Xiaoai classmates to command you to turn on lights, sweep the floor with a sweeper, cook with a rice cooker, etc. You can control these home appliances just by moving your mouth. Very convenient to operate.
I accidentally discovered that the video software of Redmi Xiaoai Touch Screen Speaker 8 can be projected to the TV, and its VIP is the same as the VIP on the mobile phone, so some VIP events are given away It's very useful, don't waste it.
By the way, the Bluetooth affected by this product is one-way and can only be used as the audio output of tablets and mobile phones, and cannot be used as the audio input of other Bluetooth speakers. And once the video is put into the TV, the audio is output from the TV.
Summary:
Redmi Xiaoai Touch Screen Speaker 8 has relatively complete functions, including audio, video and other daily popular science functions. If you have a home If there are many Xiaomi ecological products, all home appliances can be controlled uniformly, which is more practical and convenient. But it also has some shortcomings, such as the resolution is not high enough, which is definitely incomparable to current mobile phones. It’s also not suitable for kids to watch animations for a long time.
Redmi Xiaoai Touch Screen Speaker 8 still maintains its price advantage. What else can you ask for at a price of 349? In terms of cost performance, there should be no one that can compare. .
