Evaluation of the entry-level models of 5 mainstream smart speakers: apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, tmall, Xiaodu, who is better?

There are so many smart speakers , Who is better ？ If intelligence is OK , Just let them quarrel . Throughout the smart home ecosystem , Smart speakers are almost one of the necessary products for smart home interaction . Besides playing music , Besides the function of the speaker body , The built-in gateway is the exclusive voice assistant of the smart home hub , He is also a life assistant .

So today we will look at it horizontally , Between the entry-level smart speakers of each family , Who performs better ？ The prices are at 100 Come to Huawei AI Loudspeaker box 2、 Small speaker 2 Infrared version 、 Little love speaker Play、 Tmall elves IN Sugar and 400 About the price of Apple HomePad mini Five different brands of speakers , And each has its own unique shape and appearance .

From the shape and color of the cylinder , Baidu and Huawei want to be two brothers and sisters , Baidu uses frosted plastic materials on a large scale , The top four buttons feel normal , The lower part of Huawei's model is a flying woven mesh design , Conducive to sound wave penetration , The top half is a light design , It is obviously better in terms of workmanship and texture , The top button is touch , When giving instructions , There will be a circle of light strips to explain the status of the speakers .

The volume of Xiaoai's speaker is very large, and that of Huawei's is about the same , But the design language is quite different , The top control area is a little compact , The feel of the keys is not much different from that of Baidu .

HomePad mini Among them, the volume is the smallest , Spherical design , Wrapped in seamless mesh , The top touch area is also the status display area , The shape of tmall elf is the most different , The square design is adopted, just from the appearance , except HomePad mini outside , It is also a good decoration at home , There are raised points on the top button , When there is no command, it can be used as a clock .

Of course , Most of the time, it is not near the speakers in real time , For example, when cooking in the kitchen , You may need a speaker in the living room to count down ; Or you're in bed , I found that the light in the living room was not turned off , You need to call the smart speaker to turn it off , So the long-distance response sensitivity of speakers is very important . The following long-distance response sensitivity test results ：

secondly , Is the smart speaker voice assistant smart enough , It only takes a few simple sentences to talk clearly , Personally, I think it's pretty good ： Ask about the weather , The answer of Xiao AI is relatively satisfactory , It will remind you to take an umbrella according to the weather , It will also remind you according to the season , Some safety tips , But it is also relatively wordy ; But xiaoyihe siri The answer is relatively concise , It can accurately report the weather conditions 、 Air quality index, etc .

Test it out , These five smart speakers are the entry-level products of five ecologies , The basic functions are not too poor , The performance in all aspects is almost proportional to the price . But choose smart speakers , In fact, it is part of choosing smart home ecosystem , However, its importance is not fully reflected in the ability of the speaker itself, which requires the use of feeling .
