The first thing is naturally to start with the appearance of packaging. Following the classic kraft paper carton design of the Lynx Box 1S, the Lynx Box 2 is still packaged in beige kraft paper. The front of the box contains the words of Lynx Box 2. However, unlike the lid box design of most box products, the Tmall Box 2 uses a cupboard type box packaging, which is not so rigid. In the interior of the drawer, the exquisite design makes Tmall's classic cat ear styling make people pull out the box and also brings Tmall's surprise.












On the back of the box, we can see that the device model of Tmall Box 2 is: TMB300A. Manufactured by Zhejiang Tmall Technology Co., Ltd., it supports HDMI high-definition output, 4K high-definition video playback, WLAN network connection, DOLBY, and DTS technology formats, while Tmall's official Weibo QR code scans are also clearly visible.
Remove the box body, you can see the bottom part of the accessories, let us one by one.






The same accessories specifications, manuals, power supply, data cable, remote control, and intimate two-section 7 batteries were used in most box products. But often the details are the key to determining the success of a product.








Careful users may find that, unlike other accessories that are simple or may even be a bit shabby, the Tmall Box 2 can be said to be full of accessories, either on the data cable connector or on the charger's socket. , including the remote control's handshake. Tmall's logo can be said to be everywhere nowadays, people feel that accessories are also professional and atmospheric.

After reading the accessories, then look again, the box body.














As a subversive styling design, Tmall Box 2 discarded the top 2 cat ears with a classic red and black appearance, and chose a more rounded and atmospheric elliptical shape. If the design of the Magic Box 1 and the Magic Box 1S is to attract the attention of young female users, the design of the Cat Box 2 like a make-up box can be said to be more in line with the aesthetic needs of mature women. As we all know, female users are the real core users of home TV! It can be seen that the redesign of this model is also very targeted.









Connect the data cable and power supply for the first time to launch the Lynx Box. After a brilliant boot animation, you will be prompted to set up a wireless network.






At the same time you can also choose whether to bind Taobao account. In combination with some of Tmall’s promotion features in the box, convenient TV shopping functions can be realized.







After clicking the agree user service agreement, you can use the Lynx Box 2 to enter the main interface.
For players concerned about hardware devices, I believe that everyone is very concerned about the performance of a new box. Then we will first run a running test on this Lynx Box 2. We are using the latest V5.2 security Bunny running sub-test software for hardware running points.













After a long wait, we ran the test results for Lynx Box 2 with 16108 points. In the comprehensive evaluation, we can see that the memory performance and image display performance of the Box 2 generation are very good. The GPU of the Mali-450MP can be said to be more than adequate in 2D and 3D graphics processing. Its 1604MB of memory, although seemingly rather strange, but also fully meet the needs of normal use.




Specific configuration, we can view the device information in the sofa butler.








In addition, I believe everyone will also be curious about this big M button on the remote control. After tapping the button, the system prompts that "Magic Key" is being opened. After waiting for a moment, there will be a main page of magic key buying. We can see that every day at 22 o'clock in the night cat cat box can have a variety of spike baby benefits to everyone.
At the same time voice search function on the remote control is also a major highlight.






Including the double 11 theme on the homepage and the shopping function module of the box, it can be said that Tmall Box 2 itself has moved itself to the advantage of online shopping to make the box not only stay in the function of watching video programs, but also convenient. The concept of online shopping is integrated into the television, allowing smart home life to go further.









In terms of film and television content, Lynx Box 2 and Hua Digital TV are collaborating on its unique Aliyun OS system to introduce a large number of excellent variety animation and film and television drama resources, which greatly enriches the user's audio and video experience. From the popular television series to the latest Hollywood blockbusters, it can be said that the content is very rich.








In terms of entertainment, Lynx Box 2 also has a wealth of game resources built in. In the game lobby, relying on cloud gaming technology, various well-known TV games have been carefully categorized, including live football 2014, Three Kingdoms, Zombies, etc. Classic games can be easily found.








Of course, like most box products, the software in the official Tmall application center is relatively single. As a player, it is natural to avoid installing third-party programs. The easiest way is to use U disk to install APK package.
The APK package is stored in a USB flash drive, which links the USB port on the back of the box and the system prompts for external storage access. Click to view all the files and find the APK installation package that needs to be installed in the folder.






YunOS prompts security risks to choose to continue the installation, and then wait a few moments, the program is installed.








It can be found later in the application category, my application. At the same time, there will be a convenient entrance to the latest installation program at the bottom of the application page, which is very convenient.

In a relatively low box market like this, the strong entry of Tmall Box 2 undoubtedly gives a lot of strength to the manufacturers who are still watching. Whether it is from the new design, the expansion of TV shopping functions and the grasp of the details of the accessories, it can be seen that the Tmall Box 2 has undergone careful analysis and research on the user's grasp and positioning, and is not a sloppy one. In terms of hardware performance, there is no doubt about the excellent performance of the greatly improved hardware configuration. It can be said that Tmall Box 2 can be said to be a product that is broken and then surpassed and surpassed. It is believed that its excellent performance and design will be used in the future market. Fully affirmed!
