The strongest box - Haimeidi H7 four-generation experience

October 04, 2021

With the advent of the Internet age, people’s lives have undergone tremendous changes. Television is no longer just a one-way reception, but has new features such as on-demand broadcasting and viewing. Of course, the prerequisite for realizing all these functions is that you have one. Smart TV or Internet TV box.

The network box was presumably not unfamiliar to everyone. When the national unified set-top box was replaced, the first large number of box users were spawned. The recent forced upgrade of high-definition has made a large number of users switch to the box. The author is in this second batch. Incidentally, I believe that there are two departments in China that should be laid off. The first one is the Chinese Football Association, and the second is the SARFT. Please approve.


There are many types of TV boxes on the market. Haimeidi, Glory, Taijie, Skyworth, and Xiaomi can all count as first-line brands. The author is starting with the latest flagship of Haimeidi - H7 four-generation Internet TV box.

Unpacking:

Packaging to a large extent can reflect the product's philosophy and style. Haimeidi H7 four-generation use of the days package of hard paper packaging, faint yellow introverted but not publicity, and the product's simple and elegant style complement each other.

On the front of the box, there is a huge "Hai Mei Di" English logo. "CIBN" indicates that the box has obtained the access license of radio and television.


The super combination of 2GRAM+16GROM is already the strongest in the network box. The other side of the box is printed with many special features of the product: dual-band WIFI, Bluetooth, download treasure, voice control, WeChat control, film and television drama, music appreciation, photo sharing , wonderful game. Scan QR code can directly enter Haimeidi's official WeChat. The back of the box is the serial number of the product and the manufacturer's telephone address and other information.


Open the box and you can see today's protagonist. The white protective film can effectively reduce the friction of the host and accessories. The design of the upper and lower layers makes the whole package look neat and orderly.


The box is equipped with an HDMI cable and the wire is flattened.


Power Adapter.


The effective distance of the Bluetooth remote control is 7 meters, and 360 degrees can be remotely controlled without dead ends. No longer like the infrared remote control, only the alignment can be remotely controlled.


Finally, Zhang family portrait.

Accessories list: host*1, HDMI line*1, power adapter*1, Bluetooth remote*1, quick installation guide*1, warranty card*1.


Appearance and details:

Haimeidi H7 four generations follow the classic rectangular design in appearance, the size is the same with the three generations (158.8*104.7*23.6m), the four corners do the arc processing, the black body is complemented by silver metal decorative lines, technology sense Full.

The excellent quality is just as important as the outstanding appearance. The Haimeidi H7 is equipped with a space-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy one-piece full metal shell. The body is tough and strong, and the surface is subjected to high-strength sandblasting. The texture is strong and used. The same anodizing process of the iPhone is exquisite and delicate.


The design of the front of the fuselage is simple, with only the logo and the status indicator of the sea beauty.


The right side of the box is equipped with two USB 2.0 jacks, which can be used at the same time with peripherals such as U disk and mouse. The box is not equipped with a USB 3.0 interface, which is slightly regrettable. However, for everyday use, USB 2.0 is sufficient.


If you think that 16G ROM is still not enough, you can insert a memory card in the TF card slot to increase the memory capacity.


Haimeidi H7 four generations are equipped with an external 2DB high-gain antenna, the signal reception ability is stronger. The external antenna is better than the built-in antenna in terms of strength and coverage. If the house is large and there are more walls or partitions, it is recommended to start with an external antenna network box.


The back has concentrated most of the functional interfaces. From left to right are audio fiber interface, CVBS composite video interface, HDMI interface, network interface, reset button and power interface.

The rich interface guarantees the product's scalability and can adapt to different needs.


The bottom of the box is printed with various information about the product. On the other side, there are large and small cooling holes. It is worth mentioning that the H7's four generations have very good heat control and generally use very little heat. The four corners are four non-slip mats that prevent the desk from being scratched and have an excellent anti-slip effect.


Bluetooth voice remote control, with its convenient and fast operation mode, has gradually become the standard for TV boxes. Haimeidi H7 also has a Bluetooth remote control. The remote control adopts a 14-key layout with two custom shortcut keys. No need to align, you can achieve 360 ​​° no dead end remote control, voice operation is very simple, hold down the voice button.

The remote control is exquisite and compact, with sensitive keys, moderate rebound, and a back-arc design, which allows it to fit perfectly into the hand and is used daily. It feels good.

Although the Bluetooth remote control has a wider operating range and a broader perspective, it does not have a learning function and cannot be adapted to a TV remote control. It is only possible to use a box to remotely control a TV remote control in one hand, which is inconvenient and slightly regrettable.


Performance and Experience:

performance:

The Haimeidi H7 has a tremendous improvement in its configuration. It can be said to be one of the most powerful TV boxes.

Let's look at the configuration first:

CPU: Amlogic S912 (8-core 64-bit, Cortex-A53 architecture)

GPU: ARM Mali-T820

RAM: 2GDDR3

ROM: 16G

System: Android 6.0

Body size: 158.8mm*104.7mm*23.6MM

The top-level configuration brings improved performance. The box performs well in daily use. Watching videos is not buffered, playing games are not stuck, and perfectly supports various video formats such as 4K.

An Bunny ran more than 4,000 points.




The game can well reflect the performance of the box. I tested the following three games.

1.FIFA16

The picture is so bad that the number of frames is very stable. With the author's years of game experience, the number of frames of the game has been stable at about 15 frames. It is not smooth or good experience, but there is no phenomenon of Caton.


2. Street Fighter 4

The game is very smooth, the picture is acceptable, playing is still very HI, boring when playing a few plates is not bad.


3. Riptide Speedboat 2

The picture is good, very smooth and perfect.


It can be seen that the box playing games such as FIFA16 is still somewhat incompetent and the quality and experience are not satisfactory. However, this is a television box after all. Using it is not fair compared to computers and high-end mobile phones. As for games like Street Fighter 4 and Riptide Speed ​​Boats, there is no problem with the box. I believe most of Android's popular games will be able to run smoothly in the four generations of Haimeidi.

The author also tested the video formats supported by the TV box. Only three formats are not fully supported. However, I have not encountered video formats that cannot be played in the past few days.




The author tested the playback of two 4K videos.

1 roast duck beauty

Video Coding: AVC1 - Ffmpeg

Size: 3840 x 2160

Frame rate: 29.97

Perfect play.


The above two 4K videos are running smoothly, accurate color reproduction, and no Caton phenomenon at all.

Experience:

Haimeidi H7 IV smart TV box is equipped with a HIUI operating system optimized based on the Android version 6.0 depth. The interface is clean and simple, and the operation is very simple. The top of the page is a selection of popular videos, covering all areas, click to enter the video playback page directly, in the middle is a shortcut function bar, you can add or delete according to your needs, below is the system function bar, including application management, media Center, play records, movie search, system settings.


Shortcuts can be added or deleted at will, very convenient.


You can also set the remote control's custom key.


The box also has the function of Thunder Download, which can open the download task remotely, make effective use of idle bandwidth, and have a large-scale American drama. If you want to see it, you no longer have to endure the long download process.


The application manager below the home page can view the already installed applications and can uninstall them.


The media center supports the playback of various media files. If your computer is set up to share, you can also play content directly on your computer.


Playing records can be used to view your own movie records, but you can only record the play records of Tencent videos that are provided with the box. Third parties do not support this.

Video search can only be searched on its own resources and does not support third-party resources.

The system setup integrates various function settings of the box, such as resolution, network, Bluetooth settings, etc.


A resource-rich box is a good box. Haimeidi H7 four generations as a CIBN certified network box, integrates a wealth of genuine resources. The box contains Tencent video, movies, TV shows, animation, variety shows, sports, and all kinds of video, but many are VIP videos, you need to recharge VIP to watch.


The NBA channel is also good, you can watch various videos or live broadcast for free.


The openness of the Android system is a major feature. The H7 IV also supports the installation of third-party applications. However, before the installation, we need to set it up first.

Enter the system settings, find out about the machine, then enter the interface, press the down arrow key of the remote control to open the project mode, so that you can install the APK file as you like.


The next few live broadcast software, easy to watch live TV. The resources of third-party software are undoubtedly more abundant and can satisfy most of the viewing requirements.


The voice function can check various information such as weather, stocks, etc. It can also be used for voice editing and telling jokes. It is very convenient. The Chinese recognition rate is very high. English is slightly worse. The only drawback is that voice input cannot be performed in various third-party programs. , We look forward to update and can use.


The author tested the performance of the TSG300 Titanium, the Asura of the North Pass, and the G4 of the Chick on the box, perfectly compatible and running smoothly. Among them, the chick G4 is a Bluetooth handle. Thanks to the box's support for Bluetooth 4.2, the connection is fast and stable.


Haimeidi H7 four generation support 2.4G and 5G dual-band WIFI, I tested the effect of WIFI network, dual-band is very stable.

2.4G network, very stable.


5G network.

The box is placed far away from the route. In this position, the 5G signal of the mobile phone is often unstable, but thanks to the external antenna of 2DB, the Haimeidi H7 fourth generation still performs well in the 5G band, although The signal strength has weakened, but the stability is still satisfactory.


to sum up:

I have used the TV box for a while and I feel very good overall. There is no buffering and jamming on the video on demand, and the live broadcast sometimes gets stuck for a second or two. Bluetooth voice is very convenient. However, occasionally when the voice changes channels, there will be the phenomenon of the error correction station. After the box was turned off, the red light was still on, making the author obsessed with OCD. The most regrettable thing is that the remote control has no learning function. When you turn on the TV, you need to find out the TV remote control.

Advantages: top-level configuration, strong performance, good process quality, Bluetooth remote control is very convenient, good thermal control, stable network links.

Inadequate: The red indicator light is still on after shutdown, killing obsessive-compulsive disorder, the remote control does not support learning function, and voice tuning is sometimes inaccurate.


Because of his concentration, he is professional. Over the years, Haimedi has focused on the development and manufacture of network TV boxes. The quality and performance are impeccable. The introduction of the H7 four generations, regardless of the quality of the process or the configuration of the performance, is already a leader in the network box.

This is an age of pan-entertainment. More and more people choose to spend time at the cinema. However, there are too many bad movies. Instead of losing themselves in the hustle and bustle of theaters, it is better to sit at home and play a piece of American drama. A movie, enjoy hard-won leisure. Smart TVs and internet boxes are all good choices. However, smart TVs are too expensive to sell, and they are not easy to update. Relatively speaking, network boxes are cheap, and when they are outdated, it is not too expensive to change one. If you want to buy a TV box, consider this Haimeidi H7 four-generation TV box.


Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, etc. on TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
