The road to a long road of intelligence: Lenovo Lenovo smart speaker use evaluation

The testimony of this time is really sad and happy. It's happy that Xiao Bian has made me test it. Sadly, the joy of receiving the goods at the moment was tossed over by the problems that followed. The early ones are inevitably encountered. Can not be connected to the Internet, unable to bind after networking and other issues, back and forth tossing for most of the day, not yet used on the Lenovo Forum's smart speaker section above seven questions (as of this writing has been mentioned above 12 questions), Lenovo engineers quickly contacted, said that the firmware batch problem, you need to send back to the Lenovo headquarters to re-flash the firmware, send it, send it, quickly ready to go to Shunfeng, and went to brush Under the test page, the value of the Friends of the XXP reply that has been able to use the normal network, and quickly demolished, continue to try, the results can be used, it seems that the main problem is still out of Lenovo's background services.

After Tucao is finished, the public test still needs to continue. Let's take a look at the resume of the Lenovo smart speaker between Niu A and Niu C. There are 14 awards won at CES 2017.

From this scale of measurement and the degree of attention after the sale can be seen Lenovo is high hopes for Lenovo smart speakers, voice interaction as the entrance of smart home, Lenovo is clearly in the next big game, smart speaker if successful , follow-up supporting products will certainly be listed one after another.

Enter the first question, product out of the box

Near the end of the year, as the colleague said, SF Express has turned into a counterfeit. From Beijing to Shaoxing, it took four and a half days. From the end of the list, it has been concerned about the delivery situation. No logistics information, waiting forever is a kind of torment, but fortunately it is still handy, courier packaging is slightly simple.

Open the lid and see the small hole in the top of the smart speaker. It's quite concise and simple.

All accessories and manuals are on the top cover. Under the Tucao, the design is not very human. Although there is a hole in the middle of the accessory box, it can be stretched with your fingers. However, it cannot be bent, so that it cannot be pulled by this hole. Out of the accessories, anyway, when I pulled it out, the carton of the accessories was smashed by me. I learned how other companies put a strap in. How good is it?

Second, the appearance of speakers

Lenovo smart speaker ordinary models have four color, I received a green section, really speaking appearance and styling is still very remarkable, the overall shape can be equipped with different decoration style, put the bed, the living room is very suitable

The button design is too simple, all functions are only this one button can be switched, it is not very convenient to use, especially the speaker itself is to support Bluetooth, have to be opened by voice (physical keys will not open short press will also open slightly Now it's troublesome), and the voice command must go to Lenovo's server to make a turn. If the network is not good, Bluetooth will become half-wound.

Silver metal color that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, the main function is to adjust the volume, but the process of adjusting the volume is nonlinear, it is difficult to tune to the volume you want, this problem has just come to think of that reaction, and if There is no way to use the mobile phone APP to adjust the volume on the phone. Voice commands are not very mature. The variable setting of each command is not reasonable, and the whole adjustment ring lacks the feel.

Lenovo smart speaker IOGO, the upper part of the control part of the plastic shell work well, between the LOGO and the volume adjustment ring is a three-color atmosphere lights, different lights, representing different states, very dynamic, when the volume adjustment of an atmosphere lantern 360 degrees from Dark to bright light in turn, Wei Xuan

The lower part of the speaker unit, the external use of fabric wrapping, the overall shape becomes more agile

The bottom is made of silicone material, which is a bit soft and a little bit Q. It can play a role in slowing down the vibration to a certain extent. The relevant information of the host computer is here. The power socket and the reset network are all here.

Third, the scene application

Please ignore the home scum renovation, the current situation to see Lenovo's smart speaker for voice commands and provide content above there is still a long way to go, like asking the weather will only tell you Beijing, listening to the news once did not succeed, only The support for music is quite high

Scene Application Description: Master bedroom, listening to children's songs, two treasures are just coming to sleep with us, speakers on the main bedroom table next to the cabinet, direct voice command: hello Lenovo + children's song name, speaker sounds from the horse to upload sound , Still quite convenient, from the current situation

Scene application description II: Children's room, listening to music, Dabao sleeps himself at 9 o'clock in the evening every day, there is no any electronic equipment in the room, with Lenovo smart speakers, I can rest assured that his room, because you can not use Any external electronic device can work independently, listen to a song, or within the allowable range. The smart speaker's reminding function is also very practical. I can set the wake-up time in my own room through the mobile phone app.

Scene application description 3: living room, listening to news, this is not perfect, I just YY

Scene application description 4: study, on the computer and also looked very harmonious

Fourth, networking and APP

Lenovo smart speakers no network is equivalent to a half disabled, the beginning is to be able to network but can not be bound, fortunately, when Lenovo dealt with urgently, get the hand the afternoon to get it, hard, and others have a holiday, Lenovo's engineers Still working overtime

Scan the QR code on the instruction sheet to install the APP and follow the instructions to operate it. Nothing is too difficult (there are too many steps to search for “Smart Lenovo” directly in the application)

Configure the network, it should be noted that Lenovo smart speakers only support 2.4G network, after the configuration is complete the speaker will prompt the network is connected and bind your account, here you can use the normal

Simple analysis of the APP

After successful networking and successful binding, you will see your Lenovo smart speakers, point after the past will be able to see the function page of Lenovo smart speakers, the content provider is cool music, Himalayan, personal understanding: your on-demand content must be It is cool music, the Himalayas above, there is no content you are in point is not useful, APP broadcast cool music, then each broadcast a capital will broadcast the song title, so it is still to use Bluetooth to save trouble

The news update is fast and there is no fixed title. The success rate of on-demand is not high. The memo and reminder function, especially the reminder function can be used as an alarm clock. The disadvantage is that the ringtone is the default, and I recommend it at the forum.

The probability of using a mobile phone, a language message, and a droplet travel is not very high now.

Fifth, use the evaluation

Lenovo smart speakers have a total of three atmosphere lighting effects, namely blue, red, orange

Red appears when the device is turned off and off the microphone

Blue appears at the time of turning on and sending out voice commands. There will be a breathing light effect when the search command is executed. When orange appears in the broken network and the firmware is updated, it is not intentionally broken.

4.1, sound quality

In terms of songs, Tsai Chin’s ferry and California hotel are also used. I use fungus as a metaphysics, and it’s difficult to assess objectively. Simply talk about what I’ve heard after several times (compared with Onyx Studio 2). The difference is not great. I feel that the bass of Onyx Studio 2 is sinking more, the sound field will be wider, and the overall sound will feel okay. It is not a good estimate that the sound source itself is too low.

4.2, speech recognition

Let you experience the authentic Shaoxing Mandarin. Putonghua is not very standard. Don't Tucao. I see 100% of the recognition rate of Putonghua. I believe that the standards spoken in Mandarin can really be tested by using the voice input method.

4.3, instruction identification

It can be seen from the above video of the speech recognition that the smart speaker will not respond to instructions that are not internally available. From the use case, the instructions of the track class are best supported, and the instructions of the control class are almost all performed. Such as pauses, volume controls, and turning on Bluetooth, the commands outside the system are not responding as in the above video. The actual situation is as long as the title is written. The road to intelligence is long, and there is no way to set instructions other than the above. To make a correct response, there is still a long way to go on Smart Road!

The manual is relatively simple, we can sweep the two-dimensional code on the manual, there are more detailed instruction set above, the following will take a look at the command identification, in addition to the more than that the Shaoxing opera can not be identified (it should not be standard Mandarin), other basic Can identify, these instructions are mainly based on Lenovo's cloud service, in layman's terms is that your instructions for smart speakers or search commands must be provided by Lenovo, so that should be better understood

From the use of the situation, in order to correctly identify, 1, the standard 2 Mandarin, the speed should not be too fast 3, given the instructions (content) must be Lenovo (content providers) already have. The popular point is that you have the system, and you don't want the system.

There are a total of 400 originals. I've written them here. Others haven't written them. Please refer to the other articles. 6.Summary

Although there are many problems with this testing product, it is mainly focused on software. It is believed that with the joint efforts of Lenovo engineers, it will soon be possible to solve one by one. The forum has responded to the February issue and will make a major update to the firmware. Lenovo smart speakers have a better performance.

The problem with the product is not terrible. It is terrible that the manufacturers' attitude towards the problem (such as Samsung) is that the Lenovo engineers of New Year's are still working overtime to solve the problem. We still have to support the spirit. We can directly solve the problem. On the (Lenovo community) view, I will not repeat this, the following mainly summarizes some of the views above the hardware

Advantages: The concept of voice interaction keeps up with the trend of the times, the product structure is compact, the sound quality is good, and the speakers can run independently under the support of the network.

Disadvantages: The volume adjustment is not linear enough, the adjustment ring lacks the feel, the single button brings the overall simplicity but also brings uncertainty to the operation, a key to complete a variety of functions sometimes people feel puzzled, portable individuals can not Get rid of the wired tail, Bluetooth physics is not enough to open the way humanity

For hardware personal advice, before the identification technology can reach more than 95%, add appropriate physical buttons, switch keys, and the volume adjustment ring appropriately increases the damping.
