Lynx Box 1S+ Summary:
In combination with the price of the T-Box 1S+199, this box has a good price/performance ratio. To some extent, I personally think that it will affect the sales of Lynx Box 2. The most obvious change from Lynx Box 2 with the same master configuration is the lack of Bluetooth and 1GB of memory.
Hardware configuration is the mainstream in 2015, in other words: quite satisfactory.
The Lynx Box 1S+ interface meets everyday needs. The immutable appearance is good and bad. Personally, I personally believe that the products of Tmall's Magic Boxes are in addition to Tmall's Magic Box 2, and other products are more difficult to distinguish from the appearance.
On the system side, the latest Ali yunOS 3.0.2 is used, and the hovering new UI is simple to operate. However, the experience is not good Taobao still occupies a good position in the home page.
The newly added Youku potatoes resources in the video content have also changed the impression of the new hot video resources in the days of Tmall's magic box series. This is a good sign.
