Huawei glory box evaluation beautiful shape + 4K decoding capability

How about Huawei's glory box? Huawei Glory Box is positioned on the high-end viewing user base with powerful picture quality. So, what is Huawei's glory 4K decoding capability? Xiao Bian brings you an evaluation article for Huawei's glory box, and conducts detailed design process and 4K decoding capabilities.



A few days ago, Huawei Glory released the Glory 6 Plus, and this conference also brought another product, Glory's first Internet set-top box - glory box. A few days ago, I saw my elder brother living next door to the experience store and brought back the Glory 6 Plus and the Glory Box. The tedious preparations used the Glory 6 Plus to play it. Unfortunately, the older brother did not borrow it. The brunt could only be touched by the glory box. Everyone should be familiar with Huawei's box. Last year, Huawei released its own Huawei secret box. Is there a difference between this year's glory box and Huawei's secret box? Now that radio and television supervision is very vigorous, a large number of TV APPs are forcibly dropped, which greatly reduces our use of film and television resources. In the face of such a sluggish situation, why does Huawei glory launch TV boxes? Let's watch it along with the box:




Then, Xiao Bian made a detailed trial introduction to the design process and 4K decoding capabilities of Huawei Glory Box, helping everyone to have a better understanding!


Appearance Keep improving:

Huawei's glory box has a blue outer packaging, which is similar to the glory of mobile phones in design. It is simple and elegant. The back of the box is the point of purchase of functional information and boxes. For example: "top decoding", "4K area", "300M wireless transmission", "mass video" and so on...








After opening the package, Huawei felt that the box was very small and the overall feeling was similar to Huawei's secret box, but it was more concise. Huawei's secret box packaging feels more mysterious and more luxurious. Huawei glory box packaging is younger and more lively. On the packaging, it is seen that their positioning is very different.





In addition to the mainframe, the Huawei Glory Box has infrared remote control, power supply, HDMI HD cable and so on. At the press conference, it seems that we can also choose the AV cable and power cat. We found out that we must note that the power adapter is 12V-1A, and it is different from the 12V-2A and 5V-2A boxes on the market, so we'd better not mix it with other brands of power cords. In order to avoid damage to the box.




Huawei glory box casing is plastic material, but the use of the paint process, the overall feeling is very delicate and shiny, but a little easy to spend, but do not look carefully can not see. There is only a glorious LOGO on the front, which is very simple and clean. In general, it is still in line with the glory of the current style.




Huawei glory box is very small, the box size is 85mm 85mm 15.5mm, smaller than our regular TV box is a small circle, although slightly larger than the previous generation of Huawei secret box, but placed at home will not feel unexpected. This palm-sized box not only surpassed most boxes, but it was also ashamed to have a convenient mobile power supply and cell phone, and it would be fine if we wanted to carry it with us.








Huawei's glory box does not use the same Bluetooth remote control as Huawei's secret box. Instead, it uses the 11-key infrared remote control, which should be considered in order to save costs. This remote control button has good feedback, is very simple, and uses the same remote control as Huawei's secret box in appearance. It does not have to be as thin as other manufacturers, but uses ergonomics to use a very fit person. The palm of the arc design, very comfortable to use.






The remote controller for the Huawei Glory Box is a two-section 7 battery that can be purchased at any convenience store when it needs to be replaced. It is easier to buy and more practical than a button battery.






There are no interfaces on the front and left sides of Huawei Glory Box, but there is only one TF card slot on the right, which gives a lot of help for only 4G of space.






The main interfaces of Huawei Glory Box are all on the back. From left to right, there are AV cable sockets, LAN interfaces, USB sockets, HDMI sockets, and power sockets. In particular, the AV AV output interface and SPDIF output interface of the box are two. One is still very practical.






The Huawei Glory Box, Hisense VIDAA BOX, Tmall Box, and GALAXY Mango Tower are all put together. Everyone should have a concept of their size. This is not a big deal. They simply become big heads in front of Huawei's glory box.




In addition to the small size of course, Huawei glory box also has a powerful configuration, using Hass self-study Hi3798M quad-core chip, built-in 1GB RAM + 4GB ROM, and supports 4K video playback, with H.265 video encoding, also built-in HiVPX Hardware decoder. It can be seen that it is very outstanding in terms of performance and decoding capabilities, is specifically optimized for the user, but in the end these functions have any effect? We will explain it slowly in the following process.


The system is completely new:




Of course, the first thing to connect Huawei's glory box is to connect to a wireless network. After scanning, it was found that this box does not support the 5G (802.11ac) network, but now there isn't a TV box in the 200-300 yuan range on the market. The support is a 5G network. It seems that the Huawei glory box is still on the deployment of pragmatism to reduce more costs for users. On the other hand, the 300M omni-directional dual-antenna signal built into Huawei's glory box is also very good, and the signal in the bedroom also has little effect.




The main interface to open the Huawei Glory Box was very surprising. Instead of adopting Metro's large color block design that has been aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it adopted a more refreshing and natural card-style recommendation, bringing the resources considered to be good to the user, without any intentions. Go to the headset menu to find everywhere.




The Huawei glory box is designed to be more Emotion UI 3.0 style. The interface is divided into three rows of top, middle, and bottom rows. The top level is the first category, including movies, TV, animation, variety shows, applications, etc.; the middle is the card display. The following is the small classification of each level of classification will follow the different nature of their own changes, the entire style is very refreshing and clean.




We can see the "GITV" logo in the upper left corner of the screen. What is GITV? Originally not ICNTV? Here, we will give you a brief explanation: The current State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has issued seven integrated broadcast controls, namely CNTV (China Internet TV), BesTV (BesTV), Huada, Southern Media (SMC), Hunan TV (Mango TV ), China International Broadcasting Station (CIBN), Central People's Broadcasting Station (CNR).




Huawei’s glory box, Galaxy Internet Television Co., Ltd.

Internet TV operating company.

At the same time, the future television (ICNTV) features high-definition, 3D, home interactive entertainment and other special services, family photo albums, video calls, TV shopping, multi-screen interactive and other value-added services, will bring users a new TV service experience.








Huawei's cooperation with Galaxy Internet TV (GITV) can actually make full use of its advantages. Galaxy Internet TV is a new media, and now it is not too many boxes to carry him. It can increase his users and popularity, and at the same time ensure Huawei glory. Genuine licensed resources for the box. In particular, the resources of iQIYI should be more convincing to most users, especially the Taiwan variety show is basically an iQiYi single broadcast.








In addition to the excellent videos that we recommend daily to our homepage, there are "Search", "Topics", "Recent", "View", "My Favorites", and "Cache". Search supports pinyin initials automatically when we enter After the SD letter was completed, the film of the Condor Heroes was searched.






Under the movie classification, highlighting the “Big Cinema”, “All”, “Dolby Area”, “4k Area” and “Hollywood”, Huawei Glory Box extracted several contents that are more liked, and the sofas are small. Here to show you the contents of the 4k area.






Open the video details page or use the mainstream layout design, here I do not need to say too much, much the same.




Press the menu menu button to quickly switch the definition, of course, if we are fast enough, we can first select 4K to look at it, of course, we can also change the number of sets.




The set-top box chip is different from the ordinary mobile phone chip. The excellent performance not only comes from the computing power of the CPU and GPU, but also comes from the powerful media processing capability of the built-in hardware decoding chip. The latest generation architecture HiVPX4 decoder chip, using 2 times the decoding pipeline unit, a higher multiplexing decoding module to ensure support for the full code stream format, to ensure that the decoder output and theoretical results are completely consistent.




Open the system settings page, set the content is very rich, the interface is fully optimized, the entire temperament and Emotion UI 3.0 are very similar, the design began to unify.












Huawei's glory box has a file manager and media center. If you have a Huawei cube, you can share the resources directly.




There is a video enhancement feature in the Huawei Glory Box which is very good. Setting-play-video quality is turned on and off. This is using Huawei's unique Imprex video enhancement engine. After starting, it can obviously feel the improvement of the picture and can correct and Compensation for loss of image quality caused by compression and transmission, significantly enhances the sharpness of the picture and the presentation of details on the edges, enhances the picture quality of each frame, and ensures that the images are structured and vivid. Both sides of the above picture can be compared.




Huawei glory box is to support H.265, what is H.265? In fact, it is the new video coding standard developed by ITU-T VCEG following H.264. H.265 uses advanced techniques to improve the relationship between code stream, encoding quality, delay, and algorithm complexity to achieve optimal settings. The video transmission speed is increased by 2 times, saving 50% of the bandwidth resources. However, H.265 requires 3 times the decoding capacity of the H.264 box. Many boxes on the market do not have enough computing power to decode the chip and cannot really solve H.265. Huawei's glory box is the perfect solution.






Huawei's glory box also added a child lock function. After all, the main force at home watching TV is the elderly and children. We can limit the time that children watch TV and prevent children from watching TV for a long time and damage their eyesight.






Huawei's mobile phone sets a lot of interaction between the mobile phone and the box. For example, multi-screen interaction can synchronize the picture on our mobile phone to the TV. DLNA can project our favorite songs and movies onto the TV.




Summary Return to nature:

Glory Box In fact, the theme of this release is to return the box to its essence. Glory Box uses HiSilicon's Hi3798M quad-core chip. The HiVPX4 decoder chip and ImprexTM video enhancement engine are all bright spots. Its powerful decoding capability is not inferior to other boxes. The entry price of 298, in particular, does make it easier for users to accept the box. The resources provided by GITV provided a brand-new and genuinely authorized network content. In the case of China's relatively fragmented resources, it still can meet the daily needs of users. Now you want to buy a network box that is inexpensive and has a good decoding capability.
