Licai cloud cast S3 smart projection interactive convenient battery life to be improved

With the rise of smart TVs and TV boxes, more manufacturers have seen the urgent demand and market potential for consumers to improve the viewing experience. The projector has always been because of its larger size and more portable body. Can not be ignored. In recent years, there have been more and more smart projections on the market. Although they all exist as projectors in conjunction with TV boxes, there is also differentiation. One is to compete directly with traditional projectors or even TV manufacturers. The products, such as the "No Screen TV" series; there is a kind of micro-projection products that are no longer rigidly attached to the living room environment, the main portable and mobile products, this time we experience the S3 is the latter, its weight is only It is 560g and the selling price is 2688 yuan. It has been listed on major channels.
As a smart projection, Li Caiyun S3 has a very different appearance from the traditional shape of the projector, using a more rounded design. At the same time, the overall use of a combination of gray and black plastic panels, a look is not a good look, but it is also unique, with a certain sense of science and technology.
The front of the fuselage adopts a symmetrical streamlined design that presents a pair of eye shapes and enhances the overall sense of technology. From this we can also see that the lens of the projector is on one side.
As the most important part of a projector, the standard resolution of the lens of the S3 is 720P (1280720), the brightness is 1300 lumens (280 ANSI lumens), the contrast ratio is 1000:1, the light source is LED, and the mainstream DLP is used. The technical solution is compatible with 4K decoding and the screen size is 10 to 200 inches. However, the lens does not provide a lens cover and the like, and it needs more attention when moving.
In accordance with the conventions, Licai cloud cast S3 focus button is also located near the lens, we can focus the lens by rotating back and forth.
In terms of details, Licaiyuntou S3's cooling holes are located on both sides of the fuselage, the overall workmanship is acceptable, the joints and edge trimming process is still a little burr and cracks, there is room for further improvement.
As a smart projection, Licaiyuntou S3 also has a certain degree of expansion, can meet the basic needs, equipped with two USB 2.0 interfaces, an HDMI interface, a headphone jack and power interface, compared to the traditional projection rich interface There are still some gaps, but it is also related to its main portable positioning.
The back is very concise, with a black mat and a screw opening for attaching the bracket.
The biggest difference from the smart projection on the market is that, in addition to the projector + TV box function, the Lisa Cloud S3 also incorporates a 5-inch touch screen on the top of the fuselage. In addition to the simple control menu, it can be used alone as a simple Android tablet after turning off the projection lens. In addition, the size of a palm-sized squad also enhances the feasibility of direct viewing.
First experience is the most commonly used video-on-demand function. Similar to the TV box, we can install all kinds of TV version video app on the S3 in Licaiyun, and then video on demand, its 5-inch screen has reached 720P HD resolution, display The effect is still very delicate and has a smooth viewing experience. At the same time, we can also control through the virtual touch buttons on the bottom of the panel, including volume addition and subtraction, homepage, projection switch and return function.
Since it can be called an Android tablet, you can naturally play games directly on this 5-inch screen and start playing smoothly. However, after all, this is a projector. Over time, it will inevitably suffer from heat and body size. Influence the experience. Of course, playing video games in this way only provides a new gameplay and possibility, and more often it is used as an auxiliary function in a business trip that is inconvenient for projection or in an outdoor environment.
As for the system, the UI of the main interface adopts the Metro style interface often used in mainstream TV boxes on the market. The overall design is very simple and the color matching needs to be improved. It can be seen that its video resources mainly use CIBN high-definition video (Youku video TV version), in addition to the game hall, local resources, learning world, office software, settings, application centers and other functional sections.
At the same time when controlling, the remote control is still relatively handy, the feedback is good, the button layout is also more reasonable, the response is sensitive, and the experience is very smooth. However, the appearance of the total feeling of residual last century style, and the fuselage is also not in tune, and if the button can be slightly larger, control should be more convenient.
In the conventional projection settings, Licai Yuntou S3 has two levels of brightness adjustment, support for lifting and rear projection, but also has the function of trapezoidal correction, but only supports horizontal correction in the manual.
As a smart projection camera, the resources are surely indispensable. Licai Cloud Investment S3 mainly adopts CIBN HDTV (Youku Video TV) and can also install other video applications. Resources are still abundant.
In the online video on demand, the source of the selected film is its recommended “Qingyunzhi”. In the actual experience, the screen effect is still excellent, the sound effect is general, and the loading is smooth and the playback experience is good.
In the local source test, I chose the 4K sample “Beauty and Roast Duck”. Although Li Caiyun S3 only has a resolution of 720P, it can easily decode the 4K source, and it is also very smooth during playback. It is also worth noting that it is not fast when fast forward and backward.
At the same time, I also simulated the viewing effect in a light-on environment. It can be seen that only 280 ANSI lumens of the ReiCloud S3 will be greatly reduced when viewed in a room with strong daylight.
In terms of game resources, it uses an application center called “Little y Game”. It can be seen that there are other common applications in addition to the game. The content is similar to other Android system boxes and TVs. Currently, they are just some simple casual games and everyday applications.
In the big screen game experience, I downloaded the "My name is MT2" recommended on the homepage, because it uses the H8 eight-core processor + 4-core GPU, 1GB of memory and 16GB of storage space, and Android 4.4.2 system. The game screen and effects are still good, but in the process of running the game, there will be occasional phenomenon of Caton.
In terms of heat dissipation, Nippon Cloud S3 performed well and did not overheat after two hours of use in the test. A large number of fan holes and fan designs do have a good effect. In terms of battery life, it has a 12000mAh battery, and in the case of only projection, it automatically shuts off from full power to exhausted battery power in less than two hours of video playback testing. Therefore, in actual use, its endurance can only basically meet the needs of a movie less than 120 minutes.

In general, as a portable intelligent projection, Lisa Cloud has performed quite well in terms of appearance, hardware configuration and brightness; its true features are richer content, greater portability and the addition of 5-inch touch. After the screen more convenient interaction, although more played a supporting role, but it is undeniable that the convenience of its interaction and the viewing environment under specific circumstances. Combined with its price of 2,688 yuan, if you need a projector that is used at home, it is not for you; if you need a multi-function portable projection, and the requirements in the life is not particularly high, it is still worth considering.

There are good hardware and display effects, of course, with a rich content resources, the combination of software and hardware can play the greatest value of a TV. In terms of content, it is recommended to install a sofa butler - the sofa butler is a third-party app store designed specifically for smart TVs, Android box users, carefully providing television, box users with high-quality television exclusive version of the application, including with live Or on-demand video and audio and video software, various types of recreational competitive video game software and daily office entertainment management system management tools. click to download
