Thinking trumpet: Lenovo smart speakers out of the box, experience report

When I mention Lenovo, it is always the image of a large-scale domestic computer manufacturer in my mind. It is difficult to imagine producing smart home products like this. This time it was a great privilege to participate in this event. Unlike previous tests, this time it was shipped directly by Lenovo and there was no “SMZDM” belief sign.

1, out of the box

The Lenovo smart speaker that participated in the test was a four-color random shipment. When it was received, it was a look like this, and it started to feel like iron grey, it was quite good to see.

A few lines of words on the outer packaging are just a few words different from the ordinary speakers.

If the impression is on the print, it's just saying that it doesn't look too small, but it can do a lot of work.

There is a physical picture on the box, probably to see the appearance of some products and other details

The opening method is very special. Like the hard-packed liquor, it is half-opened.

The lower part of the box is a foam material, which mainly plays a protective role

The top box is mainly concentrated on the power cord, power supply, manuals and other accessories, the whole structure is also to make full use of space to make this speaker in the transport process will not appear any accident?

But to tell the truth, the top of the box is super hard to get out of the box, if you want to keep the box intact, you can only hold the box a little bit down and throw the inside out of the box

Why is it so hard to get? The shape is an L-shaped one, so if there is a side, there is always a bad side out inside the box.

In addition to the accessories box at the top, there is also a brief explanation that Lenovo prepared for the children's shoes that participated in the assessment.

With the exception of all protection devices, these useful things are left. The main speaker, power cord, manual, and easy-to-read instructions

2, speaker body, accessories details

The main body of the speaker is very beautiful, very artistic fan, the lower part is retro fabric texture

The upper part is made of plastic material (don't wonder why this picture is horizontal, uploading and displaying are normal, but the insert is horizontal)

The top is the main control and display part of this smart speaker

The volume control button is on the side

The top is the main switch, the connected control buttons, and the top opening is also necessary to collect voice control information.

There will be different lights on the side to identify the status of different smart speakers

The bottom is hidden power cord design, the top is reset button

There are also matching thread guides on the side

The power supply uses a wide volt-voltage design, and the texture is good to people feel that the material is very solid

3, intelligent association app pairing

The use of smart speakers is very simple, only need mobile phones and speakers

Download the corresponding "smart association" app

On the speaker host on this one!

Wait for the lights to turn orange and follow the steps to connect

Will make you wait a little while

But I encountered a bug here, the phone failed to display, but the smart speaker voice prompt connection is successful

All the way back to the main interface results in normal connection and control of the smart speaker, the following several lattices represent the major functions of Lenovo smart speakers.

4, smart speaker APP main functions

The main selection song or play story feature is mainly used cool dog

Himalayan

The reminder function is mainly based on alarm clock, timer and other functions

The memorandum is some things that can be viewed in the mobile phone by converting the voice recording into text.

The taxi service is bound to the travel of the droplets. Some addresses need to be set in advance, similar to "home", "company", etc. The equipment can automatically help you to call a taxi.

Voicemail must rely on the connection and pairing with other devices to achieve this function. I think that 100 members of the measured value should be connected together and the walkie-talkie should be a good choice.

The voice recording is a record of the conversation between the person and the speaker. The query can be used to know the understanding accuracy of the machine.

5, use experience

Through the use of discovery, this speaker's intelligent degree is still very high, voice recognition range is very wide, general songs, musical arts, stories, etc. can be covered, sound quality if you use Bluetooth connectivity to play, the sound effect is good, if you use smart association The playback content in the game obviously feels the difference in playback quality of the two. in living room

Or the bedroom has a nice use scene and effects

According to the tips of the Quick Start Guide, smart speakers can basically do the level of question and answer, from the perspective of my experience if the sound quality is the same effect with the same volume of small speakers, but with some smart features. However, there are also some problems I found in the use of mainly two parts:

First, the host problem

First of all, the appearance of this machine, the lower part of the fabric material, this if not very dirty in daily use, and looked for a long time seems to be an irremovable structure, if the daily stains on some stains may not be very Good deal

The speaker itself does not seem to be mobile design, this will inevitably only be fixed at a point to use, from the use of the scene is slightly limited, the power cord must be brought

Although the machine's speech recognition range is very wide, the farther the distance represents the lower the recognition rate of the machine, the better it is to have a good recognition effect.

Second, the application of the problem

Although the app integrates the forum features, the login card

, post failed, etc., should be a problem with the server

In the setting option, the prompt will be kept updated, and no response will be given after clicking Upgrade.

There is an auto-upgrade feature in the app, but whether you open or close, return to the previous level, and then enter or close.

There is a lack of integration in the logical sound of smart speakers, and it seems like garbled reading when they encounter long words.

The alarm function cannot be deleted after setting the alarm. Only the switch button is always present in the interface.

The taxi service must search for the street name. If the name of the unit can be found within the drop app, it cannot be searched in the smart association.

There are weather bugs in the smart association's bugs. Although the localization and display are accurate local information, the broadcast has always been the default weather in Beijing.

The voice broadcast optimization hopes to optimize the “beauty voice”. The default voice sounds hard to tell, and it is a bit like a robot.

If there are different scenes switching, similar to the bedroom to move to the living room, use the same wifi, no problem, if there is a problem of switching wifi, you may need to reset several times to set up a new wifi, the current default version must be 192 IP, if No, there is a big chance that the connection will fail and cannot be used
