Samsung UA55F8000 allows users to experience intelligent multi-screen interconnection and facial recognition

Samsung Smart TV F8000 series is a flagship smart TV product, but also a true "future TV", Samsung F8000 series TV has 55 inches, 60 inches, 65 inches and other different models, and its touchpad remote control It is also a major highlight of this series of televisions. Today we will evaluate the Samsung UA55F8000 TV evaluation, and users can experience the intelligent experience of multi-screen interconnection and facial recognition.


Appearance

- Has an ultra-narrow design


This 55-inch Samsung UA55F8000, which Samsung calls "Future TV," really shines in its design. First of all, the front of the aircraft is quite concise, especially the design of ultra-narrow edges. Whether it is in the open or closed state of the TV, the borders are barely visible, highlighting the 55-inch screen itself and making the display screen very strong. The visual impact; Second, the aircraft's screen thickness is also quite satisfactory. We can see from the picture that the side of the screen is surrounded by a circle of silver-white metal, not only looks strong texture, but also only a thickness of 14.2mm, a little more than the iPhone, looks very thin; Finally, The machine's most distinctive appearance is the use of a bow-shaped metal base. The streamlined design contrasts sharply with the square-shaped screen. Moreover, if you look at the front, you will hardly see the pedestal bracket, and it will make the whole machine appear to be of a higher grade. In addition, the aircraft in addition to positive to give people a stylish, simple image, the back is using a metal wire drawing process, excellent workmanship.


After seeing this bow-shaped base, perhaps you are worried about its supportability. In fact, this is completely unnecessary. After we installed the entire TV, the whole screen is slightly tilted backwards, and the curved part of the bracket is behind the fuselage, which can guarantee the security of the whole machine. Of course, this also has its drawbacks.


In addition, it is worth mentioning that, although the size of the aircraft is 55 inches, but the weight is not high, and the weight of the base is only 18.3Kg. If not the overall size is too large, an adult man can easily move it.


Finally, in appearance, in addition to the overall appearance of the atmosphere, fashion, all kinds of small details also left us with a deep impression. In particular, the hidden camera on the top of the aircraft, when you want to open it, you can only slowly release it by pressing with your hand, and you can also adjust the angle, which is very easy to choose.


- Remote control with touchpad is a highlight in accessories


Originally thought that such a high-end flagship model will be very rich in attachments, but it is actually somewhat disappointing after the actual opening of the box. We can see that the accessory part of the aircraft seems to have nothing but the necessary brackets, screws, remote controls, power cords, and active 3D glasses. However, in this only few accessories, its remote control with touchpad is very eye-catching.


Compared with our common remote control, Samsung UA55F8000 is equipped with this remote control in the design with a front silver-gray metal wire drawing + brown back cover on the dark plastic design, very texture. More importantly, when we first saw the touchpad in the middle of the remote control, we once again raised the level of the aircraft by a step in our minds. However, the remote control is a lot heavier than the remote controllers of other traditional models. Although the overall feel is good, it always feels like holding a stone. There is a kind of indescribable feeling in my mind. About the remote control's experience in operation, we will introduce it in detail in the following article.


Finally, let's look at the interface that the aircraft is equipped with. All interfaces of the aircraft are designed on the back of the fuselage, a total of 3 USB ports, 4 HDMI interfaces, 1 component input, 2 AV inputs, 1 digital audio output, 1 RF input and an RJ45 network interface. Of course, I must mention is that the aircraft also has a smart upgrade card slot on the back, you can achieve intelligent upgrade TV. And this feature can also be considered a major feature of this Samsung UA55F8000, in the following function will be detailed for everyone.


Functional articles

- Equipped with multiple display technologies


The outstanding appearance of the light is not enough. This Samsung UA55F8000, known as "Future TV," has also added a number of quality enhancement techniques. Samsung UA55F8000 has Samsung's unique intelligent image quality optimization engine technology that allows the TV to automatically match images when playing a variety of film sources and content, so as to achieve the best display effect. In addition, the aircraft also has a clear view function, which can effectively reduce image noise and achieve better picture quality. In addition, technologies such as Super Smash Technology and Super Local Light Control II also have a good performance on the overall picture.


Of course, as a flagship product, the 3D function of the Samsung UA55F8000 is also essential. The Samsung UA55F8000 uses shuttered 3D technology. We can download 3D sources from the left and right or top and bottom formats on the network and watch them through the shutter-type 3D glasses that come with them.


- Intelligent upgrade module


Just now we mentioned that one of the features of the aircraft is to reserve a smart upgrade module slot on the back. We can upgrade the TV software and hardware by purchasing a smart upgrade card, so that you can use “new” every year. "TV. However, this upgrade card is expensive, probably around 1500-2000 yuan. The value is not worth considering how consumers measure it.


- Support multiple operation modes such as voice, gesture, face recognition, etc.


In addition to the unique remote controls mentioned above, the Samsung UA55F8000 also has voice, gesture, and face recognition capabilities, and is very versatile. We can directly search the TV through the voice, function selection and other operations; use gesture control, we can easily play somatosensory games on the TV; and facial recognition allows us to simply and safely step into the software, very convenient .


- Installable application


One of the biggest features of the so-called smart TVs is that manufacturers have pre-installed smart operating systems in their television sets. This allows us to use software such as computers and tablets to install software. The Samsung UA55F8000 is not built into our common Android system. Instead, it uses its own intelligent system based on Linux. However, in addition to the basic web browsing functions, we can also use the built-in Samsung Apps to install what we need. application.


- Cross-device interconnection


In addition, this Samsung UA55F8000 also supports multi-platform interconnect applications. We can not only control TVs through mobile phones and tablets, but also enable multiple screens, free sharing, and other functions. Specifically, the aircraft can achieve intelligent browsing, wireless sharing, and wireless mirroring through the AllShare wireless information sharing platform.


Experience


- The touchpad on the remote control feels good


In the previous article we mentioned that the biggest feature of this Samsung UA55F8000 in the accessories is that we have a remote control with a touchpad. In addition to the previously mentioned weights, this seemingly high-end remote control actually has some advantages and disadvantages. We see that the buttons on the front of the remote control are divided into upper, middle, and lower groups. The top is the commonly used function buttons, the middle is a touchpad, and the following is the return, smart center, and menu navigation.


Let's start with the button section. It can be seen that the number of keys of the entire remote controller is not much, and we do not have our common 0-9 number keys, which is very simple. However, this does not affect our normal use. For example, functions such as switching, voice, tuner, and volume control are all reflected on the buttons, which can be known from a look at the above logo and are relatively convenient to use. In the part of the touchpad that everyone cares about, I personally feel that it is also quite good. We can use the entire touchpad to select various options of the TV menu, and the positioning is more accurate, the movement is still smooth, and there are certain operational dependencies after the habit. Of course, if the area of ​​the touchpad can be larger, it will make the whole experience a step up.


- High recognition rate of voice control


It cannot be denied that voice control is an important function that embodies "smart". In operation, we only need to press and hold the VOICE voice button on the remote control to bring up a Siri-like voice icon right above the screen. All you have to do is to talk about it.


In use, we have found that the recognition rate of this voice control is relatively high. There is no problem at all in the general office environment. Basically, most menu calls and application selections can be implemented. What's more, the most practical thing for personal voice control is that it can solve the trouble of typing with a remote control during web browsing. With this alone, I believe that many friends will win. In addition, this voice control can also accurately identify some dialects, and its versatility is excellent.


- Gesture control accuracy to be improved


In addition to voice control, the Samsung UA55F8000's smart experience also includes gesture control. We did not forget the lovely camera we mentioned earlier. To open the gesture control, just let the camera pop up, which is very convenient. In the process of experience, as long as the camera is turned on, gesture control is turned on by default. However, although the program is started by default, we still need to stand in front of the TV, align the screen with open hands and wait for one or two seconds before entering the actual control.


Objectively speaking, this gesture control experience is not good. First of all, the gesture control has a higher requirement for the station position of the operator, especially when it is started, the operator needs to stand as important as possible on the screen to facilitate the camera recognition. After the recognition is successful and the gesture control is started, the operator needs to keep in front of the screen as much as possible. If the deviation of the station is slightly larger, the gesture control program will be automatically closed and need to be re-identified and restarted; secondly, the gesture control is Can also operate on the TV's menu retrieval, function selection, but due to low accuracy, there will often be misoperations, and always put his arm back and forth on the TV, will be tired in a few minutes; Finally, If you just want to use gesture control to play the game, and not to mention that there are not many games in Samsung's App Store on this machine, and you also experience low accuracy, the experience is not good.


- Facial recognition is fast and accurate


The camera designed on the top of the TV can be used for gesture control, but the facial recognition function also depends on it. This Samsung UA55F8000 can face recognition through the front camera, after the identification passed automatically log on Smart Hub account and associated APP account, eliminating the need to use the remote control to enter the user name, password troubles.


In our actual experience, just manually set up an account number, password, and complete the first facial registration. Although we must say that the registration process is indeed more tedious, but it is a matter of once and for all, or let us accept. And after testing, under normal lighting conditions, the login speed is very fast and satisfactory.


-Internet experience


Being able to connect to the Internet, perform web browsing, video playback, and application download is naturally an essential feature of this Samsung "Future TV." The Samsung UA55F8000 has a built-in network card, which can be connected to the Internet in both wired and wireless modes. The built-in browser and Samsung App Store in the pre-installed operating system can basically realize a complete Internet experience.


But here we must remind everyone that although the machine is pre-installed operating system, but because this is not our common Android system, but using Samsung's own intelligent system based on Linux development. Therefore, we can't download applications on the Internet like tablets and mobile phones. Instead, we have to download and install applications through Samsung's built-in TVs. The degree of freedom is not high.


When we turned on the built-in Samsung Apps, we found that they were not very satisfied with the number and quality of applications. We have seen that all apps except the top recommended apps are divided into video, game consoles, sports, and lifestyle categories. Although we can select the desired application according to the classification, the number is very small and far from meeting our expectations.


However, thankfully, if you use the Samsung UA55F8000 to browse the web, the experience is still very good. When we open the built-in browser of Samsung UA55F8000, we can directly reach the website you want to browse through voice control, which is fast and convenient. In addition, in previous evaluations, we also mentioned that the use of large-screen TVs to browse the web, due to high resolution, often experience is not very good, but this situation has been changed on the Samsung UA55F8000.


When we open the browser, we can see the screen ratio adjustment options will appear in the upper right corner of the screen, just select the "fit to the screen size", you can extend the screen to almost the entire screen, and the font is also clear, even in At a distance of more than 3 meters, we can also clearly see the text, and the results are very satisfactory.


- Inter-device connectivity experience


In addition to numerous smart features, this Samsung UA55F8000 also supports multi-platform interconnect applications. We can not only control TVs through mobile phones and tablets, but also enable multiple screens, free sharing, and other functions.


First take a look at the wireless mirroring feature. Just let Samsung smart phone and Samsung UA55F8000 in the same WiFi network, and open the connection settings of the mobile phone and TV at the same time, click on the Screen Mirroring option, you can mirror the contents of the phone screen to the TV 55-inch screen, the effect is quite Shocked.


In addition to the screen mirroring function, we can also use a smart phone to easily control the Samsung UA55F8000, and this feature supports both Android and iOS platforms. In the experience, we started using the Samsung S4 for testing. After downloading the Samsung Smart View application in the Samsung S4, clicking on it will automatically find the connected TV device. When we click on the connection, we can watch the TV screen synchronously. The whole process is very easy. In addition, we can use the Samsung Smart View to fully simulate the TV remote control to control the TV. This, to a certain extent, also solves the input problems mentioned repeatedly above.


It is worth mentioning that we also found the Smart View application in Apple's App Store. However, when we downloaded to the phone we found only the remote control.


Video playback - 1080P


Samsung UA55F8000 as a 55-inch Full HD smart TV, in the video test, we first chose the 1080P video to carry out. Same as other smart TVs, the Samsung UA55F8000 is very simple in connection with external devices. We only need to insert the mobile hard disk into the USB interface on the back of the TV, and select the photos, video and music interface in the TV to click on the identified hard disk. You can open the files. In addition, it needs special mention that the TV not only supports rich video formats, but also supports common external subtitles such as ass, psb, smi, srt, and txt, which meets the needs of the majority of movie lovers.


In the test, the Samsung UA55F8000 looks very good on the 1080P video display. The unique intelligent image quality optimization engine technology makes the image of the character in the screen very clear, and the dark details are particularly prominent and very satisfying. In addition, in the video playback process, the aircraft also provides a variety of useful features, and even we can take screenshots directly in the current playback, and can be stored in your external device. Of course, a variety of scene modes are also provided here to meet the needs of different film sources.


However, it is not the visual experience that feels worse in experience, but the manipulation. We can adjust the progress of the video with the finger on the touchpad on the remote control, but this manipulation is really elusive and difficult to pinpoint.


-3D playback


In addition to the 1080P video test, we also chose 3D video to experience it. The Samsung UA55F8000 uses active 3D technology and is equipped with a pair of active 3D glasses. From the description of the above attachment, we can see that the active 3D glasses that are bundled with the use of a combination design, the frame and the lens can be freely split, easy to carry, and the weight is relatively light, even if it is worn for a long time No fatigue. In addition, the pairing of this 3D glasses with the TV is also more convenient. Just click on the button on the frame and the pairing will be successful in a few seconds.


When we open the pre-downloaded 3D hard disk in the mobile hard disk, we need to follow the on-screen prompts to select the left and right or up and down formats to achieve 3D effects. We selected the left and right format 1080P 3D hard drives for testing. During the playback process, the aircraft's 3D core graphics engine played a role in it, and the overall picture performance was basically satisfactory. But the need for Tucao is that the aircraft only equipped us with a pair of 3D glasses, obviously feel a bit stingy.


- Network video playback


In the network video playback test, we chose to pre-install the mango TV in the Samsung App Store. It is undeniable that the contents of the built-in Mango TV are still relatively rich. The main interface is divided into several major categories of video content, such as movies, TV dramas, documentary, music, and variety shows. We can click to enter and play. We have chosen a major category of movies. After entering, we found that the source of the film was updated quickly, and we randomly clicked on a few of the latest movies. All of them were in HD format. As long as the Internet gave power, the effect was still very good. Of course, this is also the result of intelligent image quality optimization engine technology and it is quite satisfactory.


Summary: Features rich in price
It cannot be denied that this Samsung UA55F8000 is rated as first-class in industrial design. In the actual experience, the author feels that the ultra-narrow screen with a thickness of only 14.2 mm is far more visually sensational than the bow base it has always emphasized. Moreover, the back design of the machine's drawing process, the bottom breech light effect logo, and the lovely camera and so on have left us with a deep impression. It can be said that even if this Samsung UA55F8000 is placed in a dazzling array of stores, it is certainly a very eye-catching product.


It can't be denied that the intelligent image quality optimization engine technology has optimized the effects of this Samsung UA55F8000 playing a variety of sources, especially when watching 1080P videos. The delicate picture quality left us with a very deep impression. In addition, as a "future TV," the rich features have attracted our attention. Through the above tests, we have seen that although the experience control of the aircraft is limited to the technical problems of the current environment, the accuracy has yet to be improved, but the outstanding performance in voice control, facial recognition, and cross-device interconnection is still excellent. Especially the voice control function, all the "crowd" colleagues in the evaluation process were surprised by their "magic" performance.


In the beginning of the article we have already introduced, we got this 55-inch Samsung UA55F8000 in the Samsung Mall in the price of 1,999 yuan, and it is understood that the aircraft in the actual store in the transaction price of 17,000 yuan. Even so, we say that this price is somewhat higher than other brands of smart TVs of the same size. Even if the aircraft has a great appearance, a very rich feature, but such a high price is not acceptable to all consumers. Therefore, if you consider the Samsung UA55F8000 separately from the function aspect, use “future TV” to describe it is not excessive, but if you don’t care whether your TV is “intelligent” or not, can you have the functions such as somatosensory and just want to buy? A full-size flat-screen TV with a large size and excellent picture quality, it costs a lot of money to spend 11,999 yuan to buy a Samsung UA55F8000. What's more, this price is also enough to be able to buy other products with better picture quality.


In addition, for all current branded smart TVs, the actual “smart” aspect has not yet achieved our ideal state, and all manufacturers are still in the stage of exploration. Specific to this Samsung UA55F8000, although Samsung will add somatosensory, Internet and other applications to the TV, and gives a lot of smart concepts, but its own system limitations make the seemingly complete experience shrink a lot. How to break through in this regard is not only Samsung but also all smart TV manufacturers have to face together.
