[PConline Review] On January 15, 2016, Tencent officially launched the brand “Penguin TV†on behalf of its Internet TV business. Although its brand name includes the word “TV,†the actual positioning of “Penguin TV†is used for The overall software solution for Internet TV and smart set-top boxes will have more Internet TVs and smart set-top boxes in the future will use the "Penguin TV" software solution. The author's next step is to introduce a TV box product, miniQ, which Tencent launched in cooperation with Skyworth Box. This product will be integrated into the “Penguin TV.†What kind of experience will it bring to the user?
The miniQ is powered by the AmlogicS805 quad-core processor from the United States. The processor's clock speed reaches 1.5GHz. The memory combination is a combination of 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM. The system is based on Android 4.4.2 developed smart TV operating system. Broadcom WIFI module will also make the box connected to the wireless network have a more stable performance. Due to the suspended design, the miniQ's body size is much smaller than the traditional TV box, and the USB-powered mode also makes miniQ easier to install and use. In general, this is a TV box with a well-balanced configuration and a bright spot. The integration of what Penguin TV will bring to you will also be our concern.
Simple packaging, accessories are simple:
MiniQ's box is biased toward simple style, the upper left can see the "miniQ" logo, the middle of the box "Skybox" words also indicate that this box is Tencent "Penguin TV" and Skyworth box to create a product.
The back of the box is also very simple, printed with some simple information on participation.
The packaging design of the accessories is very careful, each using a separate package.
The miniQ is a TV box that can be clipped to a TV and is powered via a USB port on the TV. Therefore, the accessory does not include a power adapter.
Compact design:
The miniQ's appearance is really as small as its model, and unlike the traditional TV box, it can be clipped directly to the top edge of the TV.
Because the miniQ can be hung on the top edge of the TV, two anti-slip pads can be seen inside the box.
The miniQ has only one HDMI interface, and the network can only be connected via wifi. During the test, the stability of the wifi transmission is high and there is no situation where the network is unstable.
Depending on the TV interface, we can install the miniQ to any location along the TV and use the USB port of the TV directly to power the box.
The remote control adopts 12-key design, the keys are distributed in a reasonable way, and the feedback by pressing degree is clear.
The shape of the remote control has also been designed to give the user a better grip.
Appearance Summary: miniQ appearance is small, the use of suspended design is also very clever, compared to other box products on the market, miniQ installation and use is also more simple, avoiding the wiring messy situation.
How about the "Penguin TV" experience?
The article begins with “Penguin TV†being the brand of Internet TV business launched by Tencent. What about “Penguin TV†from the interface to the experience? First of all, we use a short video to see if the basic operation of the system is smooth enough.
In actual use, the left and right direction keys on the remote control can be used to laterally browse all the content sections. The infrared remote control also does not let the operation experience hysteresis, and the overall fluency is quite good.
Homepage
The main page is very simple and divided into four sections: "my", "recommendation", "classification" and "application". The specific content of each section is displayed in a block diagram, which is more simple and clear.
recommend
The referring page is more like a comprehensive content recommendation page, including a variety of content. We can understand this forum as a premium content recommendation area.
classification
The "Category" page is also well-understood, including movies, TV dramas, variety shows, anime and other sections.
application
app Store
The "Applications" page includes an application store and displays installed applications. If there is a need to add an application, it can also search for an application store or select an application provided by the application store for installation.

Of course, this is also a reasonable approach, and Penguin Cinema has a very wide coverage of movies. Domestic and foreign popular movies, just from home The latest blockbusters are included in the offline lineup. There are a lot of classified screens underneath, and the video resources are very rich.
The cheapest is only 199 yuan will be able to open a year penguin theater members, if you like to watch the movie users, the price is more cost-effective.
Living room album
In the "My" page, a Tencent home-developed living room album function is also built in. After we follow the public number of the "living room album" through WeChat, we can easily share pictures on the WeChat side to the TV.
This way of pushing pictures also allows the mobile phone to form an interaction with the TV box, which is also a good function extension.
Sports events live
Tencent Sports is also rich in resources for live sports events. Penguin TV is based on the resources of Tencent's video. Therefore, we can also watch the live broadcast of popular sports events through Penguin TV, and we can also watch the playback of previous live broadcasts. Young people are a very attractive feature.
On the page, you can see the domestic CBA events and some live previews of the Bundesliga. In the future, there will be more Tencent sports live resources that will be synchronized to Penguin TV.
Summary: In terms of video content, Tencent itself has very rich resources. The content of “Penguin TV†implanted in the system also reflects this advantage. With the continuous improvement of “Penguin TVâ€, the future should be Tencent's own content resources will be added to it, which will also give users a better experience.
The phone can also act as a remote control:
Since miniQ is a product of Tencent’s “Penguin TV†and Skyworth Box, some of the original interactions of Skyworth Boxes have also continued to the miniQ. By focusing on the public number of Skyworth Box, we can use mobile phones on the same network. Remote control TV box, in actual use, the mobile phone WeChat control box also appears to be "with the hand", practicality is very high.
Summary: As a TV box product equipped with "Penguin TV", the miniQ is firstly very characteristic in appearance. The hanging design is not only compact, but also allows users to save desktop space, and "Penguin TV" in content integration. The aspect is very comprehensive. As the brand of Tencent’s Internet TV business, “Penguin TV†also shows enough potential. The content of Tencent’s own video is also a big advantage.
