Extremely good Z4Air and micro-whale Rubik's Cube? The field evaluation secret!

When we talked about the big screen, everyone first thought that it was definitely going to the cinema! Unfortunately, with the increase of age, the work is getting more and more busy. There are few opportunities to go to the cinema. Although mobile phones and tablets make entertainment easy, they are For a small partner, the purchase of a huge volume of TV sets will be somewhat hesitant. The term "smart projection" is obviously not unfamiliar to everyone. In recent years, many manufacturers have introduced micro intelligent projectors in various forms, but with the technology era The arrival of micro-transmission has long been not a "rumor" of small toys.
A company known as the joint venture between Alibaba and Tencent's twin horses, launched a miniature whale Rubik's cube K1 that redefined "smart projection" with the first "one-second auto focus", stirring up a gust of wind in the miniature projection industry. The portable microprojection properties of universal home projections have long been defined as a struggle against Zimi's early-selling product Z4air.
This time, the author will take you to see, the micro-whale Rubik's Cube K1 VS Z4air extremely who is superior!
Appearance - thin and sturdy VS is not unusual

It can be clearly seen that the Z4air (214×113.5×23.5mm) is smaller than the K1 (212*112.9*54mm), and the height of the Z4air is less than half, although the K1 is slightly narrower.
On the side of Z4air is the Founder. The whole is like a thick PAD. The side of the micro whale K1 is a parallelogram. The structure of the sloping side makes K1 have a cool and reliable look. It weighs two weights, almost all at 1 kilogram. Around, the whole is considered very portable and portable.

In contrast, the Z4Air is a very traditional business projector design. The left side is a heat vent, and the right side is a lens and a lens cover that takes care of the switch function. The optical camera lens of the Micro Whale Cube K1 is in the center of the front panel. This design is rarely seen in the projection. Next to the lens is a 500W pixel camera, which is mainly used to capture the sharpness of the picture and achieve auto focus. It is also because of the central lens design, the Rubik's K1 cooling vents opened in the side of the fuselage.
On the back, the Z4air interface is more than a USB 2.0 cube than the Rubik's cube K1. On the right side there is a button with a battery symbol to turn on USB charging. This function is enabled by default on the Micro Whale Cube K1. Both can be used to charge mobile devices such as mobile phones via the USB interface.
Both machines have their sound on the back. Compared to Z4air's unilateral channel, the small whales Cube K1 uses a 45mm large-caliber dual-horn structure, and the sound volume and sound quality are much higher than those of the Z4air.

The tiny whale Rubik's Cube K1 has three physical buttons, a volume chute and a WHALEY logo on the top of the body. The Z4air is very simple and only has a GIMI logo imprinted on it.

For the first time, the charm of “black technology” was felt on the remote control. The small whale K1 that looked “big one” had a larger and thicker remote control. In contrast, the remote control of the pole meter was small. A lot of micro whale feel a bit like a hand. The number of remote whale's remote whale keys is a lot less than that of a very few meters, but the function is not rare. There is a hard-to-find voice key in the upper right, so the whale K1 should be equipped with a voice function.

After the appearance and simple comparison, it is concluded that the material-based pole meter is a monolithic CNC machining process, and the shell of the micro-whale Rubik's cube K1 is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy and high-quality composite materials; the appearance of the poles and micro-whale cubes Each has its own merits, one is slim and one is cool.

In other respects, the meter uses the right lens and lens cover, while the Rubik's Cube uses a centered lens design; in terms of mounting, the Z4 Air does not have a hoisting hole, and it has poor mobility in hoisting. The Rubik's cube K1 uses a compromise. The method, there are three screw connectors on the bottom can be installed a transfer port for mounting brackets or lifting. The design is more reasonable. In this round, both have their own characteristics and each has its advantages.

However, the micro whale K1 that supports 1 second AF is definitely more convenient to use than the manually adjusted Z4air. It is necessary to take out the portable "autofocus" function, save time and worry, at any time. You can cast anywhere.

UI——Humanized Design vs. Minimal Simplified Design System optimization is an important part of a smart product. It has a direct relationship with our experience. Therefore, a good UI can attract more users' attention. Have a better sense of dependence.



First of all, the system has performed well both in the system and not too badly applied to the original Android system. All of these are carefully optimized results. Above is a screenshot of the WUI system on the right. Both are the same as the Android system, the entire interface to see WUI can be described as a standard and rich video resources panoramic view, and then look at the main interface of the meter is too simplified.
The WUI's interface is a waterfall flow design from top to bottom, and the meter is designed using a left-to-right interface. In comparison, the micro-whale WUI is similar to the mobile smart device, and is more in line with the user's reading habits. .



On the recommended content page, WUI recommended content covering news, movies, documentaries, television, animation, and other content, and the UI is basically only variety, UI, movies, television. It can be seen from this that the small whale WUI owned by Tencent and Mango TV far exceeds the UI of only Mango TV in content.

The wireless projection of the miniature projection itself is not bad. If there is a voice assistance function, it is really humanized, eliminating the need for typing. The small whale K1 can press the remote controller's voice key to call out voice assistance. The user can quickly jump to the corresponding playback interface by simply saying the name of the desired content. Calling "weather" and "stock" will also be displayed very quickly, which is very convenient. When watching online video, the voice “fast forward/backward xx minutes xx seconds” is automatically controlled and played.
When the user is using the audio mode, just press and hold the voice key and speak the projection to jump to the projection mode. Especially when far away from the projector, as long as holding the remote control voice, micro whale K1 from a sound into a projector, this switch is still very smart.



In terms of music, Mimi directly copied the interface of Baidu Music App, but it did not have a login interface and was not very user-friendly in terms of connectivity. WUI adopts the optimized version of the shrimp music radio mode, users can get the latest hottest songs faster, users can also log in their own account of shrimp, listen to their own collection of music.



Both the Little Whale Rubik's Cube K1 and the Polar Mi Z4air have WPS blocks, which allow users to project office files. However, WUI uses a customized version of the WPS projection treasure, users can scan the two-dimensional code can be used to throw the file in the mobile device; extremely Mi UI is to allow users to download a WPS office APP, does not support the two-dimensional code projection screen.
After a simple comparison, at the system level, Mimi defeated: WUI fluency based on Android 5.0 is much higher than GMUI based on Android 4.4; personalized recommendation, office WPS, music playback, WUI win GMUI; content, can only say WUI-Tencent Video = GMUI.
Another point, I totally can not accept, GMUI blocked the APK file! That is to say, there are only two ways to install the program on the GMUI, a kind of installation in the application store (but too little), a need to download screenless assistant wireless installation. If neither of these two approaches has the app you want, then please do it and you can't load it.

The projection experience UI is of course related to the use of the experience, but the projection effect is the user's most concerned part.

Through the comparison between the parameters, the difference between the two is not large, do not know whether there is a virtual standard, 30 lumens difference, not particularly obvious, but as a private home theater, enough.

At the same distance from the screen, we can see that the size of the right meter is slightly larger, and the projection ratio of the two is 1.07:1 (very meters) and 1.12:1 (microwhales). This result is also unexpected. bingo. However, the brightness of the two is indeed the same, but the interface color of WUI should be a little softer.



When watching the same video, we can see the following picture (micro-whale K1) is more natural, the color of the characters is more accurate; in the picture above (in meters) the picture in China, although the clarity is good, but the character color is red, the color temperature is also biased Cold, completely destroyed the film's original picture.

The author did not give up or used Z4air to watch some other films, but the picture was all red and cold, so I was disappointed with the original Z4air.



I can't play 4K, I said very blue and thin! Although the meter has been marked compatible with 1080P, not 4K, but I still can not accept this fact! However, the extremum Z4air was released earlier than the micro whale K1.
Although the sound effects of the small whale Rubik's cube K1 and Z4air Zimair sound like some cruel, but also projection products, but after all, is the same resolution of the product, let us take a look at it.

According to the official statistics of the micro-whale, the micro-whale Rubik's cube K1 adopts a 45mm diameter high-power, large voice coil rare-earth magnet dual-speaker, supports DOLBY/DTS audio dual decoding, and uses experimental results of 20 years of professional acoustic engineering - special cone pulp Formulated and fully sealed box design, and equipped with dynamic EQ compensation technology unique to the micro-whale, can achieve realistic and vivid stereo surround sound.

In addition, the Micro Whale Cube K1 also has a sound mode that can switch modes through the body buttons and remote control. When the machine is in audio mode, K1 immediately starts playing radio music such as shrimp, Himalayan, and 蜻蜓FM, and users can also play mobile music through Bluetooth mobile phone connection.
The official information of the meter is so introduced to the sound: (I am blank). There is no information at all, limited to limited network information and the author's limited ability, and did not see the audio specifications!
The actual experience: the sound quality of the Micro Whale K1 is very good, the bass dive and sound field positioning are good, the sound ductility is also very good, the volume brought by the double 8W is very alarming; the sound bass Z4air's sound bass dive too often, the sound field positioning is insufficient Lack of ductility, but the vocals of the midrange segment are fairly clear. The author compared the market's speakers and positioned the two: the whale cube K1 is equal to about 800 yuan speaker, and if the pole meter is a zero, then subtracting 30 is almost the same.

Battery life comparison

The tiny whale Rubik's cube has a built-in 11700mAh battery, and the Z4air is equipped with a 13600mAh battery, and the power of the Z4air is smaller than that of the Rubik's cube K1. However, you have to assume that the lifespan of the M4 Zair is longer than that of the Whale Cube K1. In fact, the two machines have been operating at high brightness for 2 hours and 20 minutes, and they have not exceeded 2 hours and 30 minutes. The author who does not understand the truth can only attribute the reason why the battery optimization of the micro whale is better.
Features feature comparison first talk about the features of fewer meters!

Zilair Z4air is divided into standard mode and business mode. When the machine switches to the business mode, the transition animation will prompt the user to install the computer with the screen assistant, for the same screen.

In addition, Z4air also supports 2D to 3D. Unfortunately, the author does not have 3D glasses on hand, but the picture looks very much like that, ghosting stacking is good, but unfortunately the color is still very slag.
Extreme rice on these two points, really save trouble. Let's take a look at the features of the Micro Whale Cube K1.

The Whale Rubik's cube K1 has a special "1 second autofocus" function, which means that when a key is turned on, there is no need to manually adjust the focus and the picture is automatically clear. No matter where it is moved or accidentally touched, it will automatically adjust instantly and the picture will be immediately clear. The left side of the light wrap of the Micro Whale Cube K1 is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera to capture the sharpness of the projected screen edge, and uses a unique optimization algorithm to quickly adjust the focal length of the screen so as to achieve the "1 second autofocus" effect. , And the trapezoidal correction of the projection screen is also completed in the same process.
The 1-second autofocus also allows micro-casting to be used in more ways, such as watching movies on the bed, and never worrying about the vibration of the air-cushion bed. For example, when you play outdoors, you don’t have to worry about the big screen. Whether it is a cliff in the Gobi Shari or a big tree in the deep mountains, it can become your curtain. Again, it was a bad idea to find a good-tempered buddy who borrowed his back. This is also a simple light projection application.


Little whale K1 also has some humanized features. The body is equipped with a volume chute, users can control the volume of the volume by sliding, simple and convenient. After testing, the volume can be reduced by a maximum of 8 grids per slide.

The LOGO on the top of the K1 is also fully utilized. The user only needs to tap the "WHALEY" area and the ring light will be on in the interface area at the back. When users use it at night, they don't need to be afraid to find the corresponding interface or make mistakes. It's very intimate!

If the smart phone and the micro-whale Rubik's cube K1 are under the same WIFI, the user can select the name of the machine through the AirPlay of the mobile phone (factory default “micro-whale projection”, Android can use Miracast) and K1 to make the screen, if you want to display the original Size, please unlock the taskbar.
A product must be unique in the industry must have his unique characteristics, from this point of view, the micro-whale Rubik's cube K1 is indeed more than the predecessors Z4air: one second auto focus, Bluetooth voice, Wifi audio, more content, so that "portable "Real integration with "smart"; music control, to reduce user operations, so that each step is very convenient; intimate human design, attack the user pain points, make life easier; AirPlay/miracast expansion, so that "play machine" since childhood The screen changes to a big screen.
Hengping summary:

Both products are obviously portable projectors, and they have all done their own limits of doing good, but as a consumer, I still want to see more perfect products.
The orientation of the two is indeed a little biased. The Z4air is more like a product for business people. The miniature whale Cube K1 is a leisure digital product for young people. The appearance of the two are varied, and each has its own natural beauty. The views are not the same.

It has to be said that the micro-whale Rubik's Cube K1 with the "Media + Technology" attribute is far more advanced in the UI and content than the Zilair Z4air with only the "technical" attribute. Although the Kami was started earlier, the hardware performance, content, and details of the Little Whale K1 have surpassed its predecessors, and not to mention that autofocus has pushed smart microprojects to a peak, saying only that it has excellent color tuning and A variety of features has made the Zimi Z4air eclipsed by the whales.
Both models are very good products, is to choose more portable Z4air, or choose the smarter micro whales Cube K1? Presumably we all have a clear choice.
However, the choice may sometimes be changed for other reasons. After all, the market has already proved that feelings can be sold!
