Nowadays, driven by the smart TV tide, the update speed of traditional home appliances such as TVs is getting faster and faster, and in the traditional concept of parents' generation, TVs will only be replaced if they are broken, otherwise they will not take the initiative to update these large items. Since I can't convince my parents, then I can only match an iQiyi TV fruit to "upgrade" the old TV at home, at least to achieve no stuttering operation, and be able to decode and play some 4K quality videos.
Speaking of TV, it's not the first time I use it, I used it for my hometown's TV in the early years, when it was the original product, only the screen projection function. Now iQiyi TV fruit 6 can already be counted as a smart TV box, it is equipped with independent computing and memory chips, 2+16GB, and built-in iQiyi TV terminal, even without a mobile phone, you can directly on-demand content.
The packaging continues the previous white cardboard box, which is much larger, and the picture and name of the TV fruit 6th generation are printed on the front.
The back of the box is printed with an illustration of the usage scenario, the three major functional features, and the manufacturer's information.
In addition to the TV fruit 6 host, the remote control, power adapter, HDMI cable, two No. 7 batteries and instruction manuals are also included.
Due to the built-in multiple independent chips, the volume of TV fruit 6 is obviously much larger than previous generations, the shape has also changed from round to square, the dimensions are 85*85*17 mm, and the weight is about 150 grams. The shell is made of ABS material, black matte texture, the circular arc on the left and right sides excessively weakens the sense of angularity, and the LOGO on the top adopts the same color glossy texture.
On the front is a long glossy cover with an indicator in the middle and an infrared receiver embedded under the cover.
On the back are DC power interface, HDMI interface, USB interface and AV interface.
Rubber feet at the four corners of the bottom provide support, while also leaving space between the bottom of the fuselage and the table top to help dissipate heat.
Use the included HDMI cable to connect the TV and the TV, which can output up to 4K@60 frames of the picture, of course, it can also be adapted according to the actual resolution of the TV or display, such as 2K, 1080p, 720p and other mainstream resolutions can be compatible. If the old TV does not have an HDMI interface, it can be connected with an AV interface.
iQIYI TV Fruit 6 is equipped with Kiwifruit OS based on Android 11 deep customization, after entering the system, it is the interface of iQIYI TV by default, mainly content aggregation, including TV series, movies, children, animation, games and other categories, film and television resources are all from iQIYI, the content is comprehensive, and the update speed is also very fast, such as the popular "Crazy" and "Qingqing Daily" some time ago.
Most of the movie and TV content is available in 4K HD or HDR high-quality versions, which can be on-demand with iQIYI Platinum members. Kiwifruit 6 supports DRM hard decoding, which can smoothly decode 4K resources without lag. It also supports HDR10+ and HLG HDR, so you can watch some blockbusters in high dynamic range quality, with stronger contrast between light and dark, excellent picture quality, and clear details. Of course, 4K resolution and HDR quality need to be supported by your display device as well.
With the blessing of WiFi dual-band and dual-antenna, the TV fruit 6 connection network is very stable, the network speed is ideal, and the on-demand online resources are not stuttering at all. I am currently using a telecom 200M broadband, with a router and TV fruit 6 connection, on-demand online 4K resources or mobile phone screen projection do not need to be cached for a long time, and there will be no lag pause during playback.
Thanks to the combination of 12nm processor and 2+16GB storage, iQIYI TV fruit 6's system runs very smoothly, and there will be no lag in operating menus or on-demand content. And this processing chip supports up to 8K video decoding, whether it is network video or local video connected through a U disk can be decoded, friends who like to search for resources on the forum can be used to play high-definition content, of course, the premise is that you have to match an 8K resolution TV to achieve the ideal viewing experience.
The standard remote control adopts the mainstream TV remote control layout, and replaces the traditional numeric keys with five-dimensional ring buttons, which is more in line with the interaction logic of the intelligent operating system. Press the voice key on the remote control, say the voice operation command, and also realize voice interaction, such as on-demand designated film and television sources, adjust playback progress and speed, adjust the volume, etc. can be realized.
It is worth mentioning that iQiyi has also designed an interesting feature called "AI Wonder". Press the spectacle button on the remote control when watching the movie, and the star characters in the current picture will be automatically recognized, and the star's information and works will be given, and other works of Ta can be directly on-demand or join the fan group. You can also identify music or merchandise.
If you don't want to put multiple remote controls on the coffee table, you can also install the TV Fruit App on your mobile phone to remotely control the TV Fruit 6.
If you do not have a TV member, you can also cast the screen to the TV fruit 6 through your mobile phone, its unique iQIYI Magic screen projection protocol supports up to 4K picture quality, and is also compatible with Apple AirPlay, Android DLNA, Tencent QPlay, WiFiDisplay, DialCast, Miracast and many other mainstream screen projection protocols. To broadcast the resources of the iQiyi platform on demand, it is most suitable to use the Qimo screen projection protocol.
TV fruit 6 is equipped with Android 11 system, and can also install third-party Android TV applications to expand film and television resources. Although 16GB of storage space is not large compared to mobile phones, it is more than enough to install a dozen or twenty TV applications, and 2GB of running memory will not be particularly stuttered.
After a few years, iQIYI TV fruit is no longer a tool that can only be used for screen projection, thanks to the powerful hardware configuration, it has been upgraded to a full-featured TV box, equipped with Android 11 customized Android TV operating system, built-in iQIYI TV software, behind a wealth of online video resources. In terms of hardware performance alone, it supports DRM hard decoding, which can meet the smooth decoding and playback of 8K video, and supports HDR10+ technology, whether it is paired with TV, monitor or projector, it can achieve an ideal viewing experience within the minimum cost range.
The openness and inclusiveness of the Android system also allows it to install some third-party TV applications to expand online content resources other than iQiyi, and of course, it can also connect external devices through the USB interface to play local video resources. If you are ready to upgrade your old TV at home, or if renters can use it with monitors and projectors, it is worth buying!
