Can not only hear a loud noise - Lenovo smart speaker experience

Nowadays, companies continue to set foot in the smart home market. After Amazon and Google, Lenovo has also launched Smart Assistant, a smart speaker product based on Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant. Its cylindrical appearance looks similar to Amazon's Echo.

But I don't know why Lenovo did not mention this device's code name: Smart Assistant. Instead, they used the word “smart speaker” to pass the word. It did not mention anything from device information, manuals, and domestic online publicity. It is difficult to know what the reasons are.

Thanks for being able to get this opportunity to test, after experiencing this speaker lightly, the first impression is: the interaction between the APP and the speaker is a little more BUG, ​​it is difficult to know whether it is a software-level problem or a hardware-level problem. Including getting the speakers up to now, my speaker firmware can not be upgraded to the latest version, because the point "immediately upgrade" does not respond.

Earlier in the test report mentioned that the sound quality of the Lenovo smart speakers will be compared with my BEATS capsules Bluetooth speakers, but unfortunately people return to their hometown New Year, beats in the location of the unit, so the test can not have a contrast link, feel deeply Sorry, but I will evaluate the sound quality of this speaker with my subjective sense of appreciation. Thank you for understanding.


One, out of the box

The packaging fits the physical design of the product and erects a rectangle.

*&......*Â¥%&%*......Â¥%%*&%* Everything is compelling.

*&......&Â¥&......%*&%*%&......Â¥& Some words that can briefly introduce product features.

At the bottom there are some information on the sticker display device, including the date of manufacture, etc. The product name is simply a rough and crude “speaker”.

Here I also want to mention that the Lenovo company's style of delivery is really losing the style of the company, using the express company plastic bag + two layers of foam paper grass, resulting in I opened the view after receiving the goods, product packaging four The corners have varying degrees of damage marks.

This is particularly serious here, so closely fitting the outer packaging of the product, the proposal is still cautious!

Tearing up the film, you can see the main body of the product by pulling it up and down. When you meet for the first time, it feels like there is no warm texture on the Internet. The plastic is still very strong, especially with the chrome on the top of the circle, a little LOW .

Take out the main body and find it. Here Lenovo LOGO has obvious traces of paint drop, and there is no obvious glued fingerprint on the main body. . . . . It's not that I'm sharp, it's really visible, and it's hard to make a camera.

The main body of the speaker, there is a circle of lights below the top cover, the following orange decoration is the biggest highlight of the speaker, whether it is feel and can be good viewing.

The bottom of the speaker is also the approximate information of some equipment, the bottom is non-slip design, the kind of slightly soft non-slip material, the power hole is at the bottom, there is a slot around the fuselage, the power cable from the slot through, does not affect the speaker upright placement. In addition, the power outlet is slightly indistinguishable. Although it is a little bit nitpicking, better user experience is the original intention of smart devices.

The material on the top is basically the same as that of the main body. The small dots in one circle are not used for lightening. The eight large ones are all microphones. The others should be decorated. The edge of the chrome material circle is the volume adjustment, and the rotation can adjust the volume.

Close-up of the orange part, with the linen material should be, feel very comfortable, texture, but the life and dirt, easy to clean up the degree of poor, have gains and losses.

Intelligent speaker family portrait, the main accessories is a 20V power adapter, and this speaker is no battery design, need to connect the power to use.

20V 1.5A power adapter, soft wire, weight is also enough, but there is also a slight flaw, there is a clear residual glue at the red circle in the picture, hand rubbed, not clean, really feel that this should not be Lenovo's style .

The evaluation experience book can be regarded as something that the company says to the testers, and the simple instructions for use.

Attached to this manual is a basic and simple operation.


Second, experience

The basic parameters of the equipment are these, first look at the parameters, I feel this speaker is really intelligent, no longer the kind of look at the previous, will only operate under the command of ordinary speakers, it has a processor, as well as RAM, ROM, not Do you know if you can use the Flash to achieve more functions?

Lenovo's official “Smart Lenovo” APP, this software may later integrate more smart devices to see how Lenovo exerts power!

Click on the bound speaker, you can enter the main interface of this speaker, the program development is not enough, only to meet the propaganda in listening to music, listening to crosstalk, reminders, notes, travel, friends and other interactive features.

Click on the top of the homepage to perform a quick music search. It is true that the music library is actually measured, and there are no results for a few small songs that you like to listen to. I hope you can get better and better in the future.

Click cool music, enter the music interface, this feeling is similar to WeChat's recent small program that kind of feeling? And on the cool of me this point, there are too many BUG, ​​with the speaker interaction, BUG is too much too much. . . . . .

The playback interface is similar to the traditional music player interface. Regarding BUG, ​​it has already provided feedback to the official. I hope that such a good speaker can have more improvements at the software level.

The Himalayas listened to novels, listened to news, and so on. These were all passed by. After all, whoever let us use these apps?

Diving trips, because at home, there is no tricks, so there is no test, but in accordance with the degree of drip hit APP, the experience should still be very good.

Remind that this is indeed a good feature, add more convenient, directly to the audio: hello association, 10 o'clock this evening.

The memorandum, in fact, is similar to the reminder function. It is a very useful small function.

Voicemail is limited to communication between friends because the audio is too small and there are no friends at the moment. . . . .

Settings interface, you can set voice voice, as well as news sources can also be set. . . However, there was no response after the measured clicks. Currently, only the NetEase news should be adapted. However, Huang Yi's news is still quite good.

Firmware upgrade here is a big BUG, ​​I click immediately after the upgrade is always no response, open the automatic upgrade, no response, then enter the settings interface to view, automatic update actually automatically shut down. . . .

Experience this piece of BUG is indeed a bit more, and there is a break from time to time, no longer connected to the broken, and must restart the speaker, the speaker prompts the network to be successful, APP can operate, too frequent, played for a long time, appeared Three times, the initial experience for me was slightly worse.


Third, sound quality

This speaker has a 5W treble and 10W bass each, sound quality this kind of thing is indeed benevolent wise see wisdom.

Because of its size and cavity in this place, it is not necessary to ask for its sound quality too much. This product, practicality and sound quality to compare, I think the sound quality is more valuable.

Because there is no professional recording equipment, simply use a mobile phone to shoot it.

First: Tsai Chin's Reunion

Personal feeling: sound quality is not considered top level, in this volume of sound, is good, but unfortunately the bass may be a little too much, too much vibration, and bass for a long time to hear a little dry, want to turn it off.

Second: Su Yunying "Later"

Personal feeling: This small fresh feeling can be well reflected, especially in the high school part, and it sounds very comfortable.

With respect to sound quality, it is still the benevolent who sees the wisdom of the wise and listens with a squeaking attitude. It may give you a surprise, and you have to compare with the thousands of speakers. The only thing that can be lost is yourself.


Fourth, summary

After testing this smart device, people have experienced a lot and it feels like there is still a long way to go for smart devices. The stability of smart devices and human interaction is the most basic and stable connection. There is no better experience. All it brings is headaches and even madness.

Lenovo's smart audio, if the price in accordance with the market price of 899, the sound quality in this area I can give a proportion of 400, after all, he is still a sound, the fusion of APP is also mostly music.

It may be because of more BUGs and more shortcomings in experience that this measure is more necessary to find out from the perspective of consumers. The engineer will be better to improve and produce a product that meets the public.


Fifth, advantages and disadvantages

1, shell orange linen material praise, innovative attempts, good results.

2. Smarter speakers can bring more surprises and interactions.

3, the sound quality is really good, how good it is, it is recommended to watch the video or listen to yourself.

4, the volume adjustment is a unique design.

Disadvantages:

1, BUG is really more.

2, fever, use a period of time, the middle of the speaker fever, but can not be avoided.

3, poor workmanship and quality control, I hope the official version can be strengthened in the future.

4. Why don’t you call a smart speaker instead of Smart Assistant?
