199 yuan super price! Lynx Box M13 hands-on experience

At present, the box has been booked at the Tmall flagship store more than 55,000 units, also shows that it has a good popularity.


The Lynx Box uses the latest CrystalCrystal S905 chip, supports 4K playback, H.265 hard decoding, supports HDMI 2.0 output, performance has become one of the strongest TV boxes.

In terms of system content, the Lynx Box M13 is equipped with the new YunOS 3.0 system. While inheriting the Huada resources, it also integrates the TBO content of the Tmall Cinema. It boasts a super film library built with a super-billion-dollar investment, and users can enjoy a free of charge. Hours free TV dramas, variety shows, documentaries.


So what about this box? Here we look specifically at its specific performance.

In terms of appearance, the new Lynx Box M13 and the previous Lynx Box M10 (Tyre's Box 1s+) are basically unchanged. It is still a classic red and black color scheme, with a cute cat's expression in front, and white. The nose is the power indicator light and emits light blue light during normal operation. If there is a sentence to distinguish, there is no "Tmall" on the back of the cat.


Left cat's box 1s, right cat's box M13

Another obvious change is that the weight has become significantly lighter. The previous Lynx Box 1s + 200g, but now only 150g, a full reduction of 1/4.


The entire back surface is matte sprayed, with a finely matte touch, and the bottom is made of ABS engineering plastic. The surface is treated with a lacquer finish that is bright and eye-catching. Different from the previous generation, the text of the Tmall Box M13 is no longer printed, but is carved in the body.

Configuration, the Lynx Box M13 has significantly improved compared to before, equipped with Amolgic 905 processor, 64-bit quad-core 2.0GHz, built-in 1GB DDR3 memory + EMMC 8GB body storage, support for 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi, Supports 4K video output.


There is no change in the interface, and from left to right are the DC power connector, HDMI connector, network cable connector, USB 2.0 connector, and AV output connector. Older TV sets can also be used, but there is no standard AV line with a slight regret.


An integral charger, an HDMI cable, a remote controller, and an instruction manual are supplied. This charger is exactly the same as the previous generation, which means you can use it for mixing.


The remote control uses 12-key design, built-in two 7 batteries, through the infrared control TV box. The shape of the remote control is relatively sleek, and the grip feels good, but the buttons are soft and not very crisp. In the Tmall official store, this remote control is priced at 29.9 yuan separately.

It is also found in use that the built-in infrared emission power of the remote controller may be too small. When using it, try not to place the box in a too-concealed place to avoid receiving signals.

The Lynx Box M13 still uses Ali's own YunOS system. Currently it has been upgraded to version 3.0. Compared with the Lynx 2.0 on Lynx Box 2, the interface and function have undergone great changes.


YunOS 2.0


Now YunOS 3.0

The words “Hua number TV” still marked in the upper left corner show that the video resources of the Lynx Box are still mainly from Huadian, which is why Alibaba spent a lot of money to invest in China.

Interface layout, YunOS 3.0 uses a new dual-line interface design, in which the top row is divided into left and right parts, the left side is the 4 commonly used functions, displayed with gray tiles, respectively, notification center, system settings, history, and Recently used (including recently opened APP and recently watched movies).




The right side is a variety of APP, just like many boxes, assembling different sections of the film, games, APP and other entrances. This does not put all the APPs out. A "+" entry is provided on the far right, which can add or delete the APPs to be displayed at any time.


The following line is “hot recommended” and “hot ranking”. The former is similar to the carousel function of LeTV. There are multiple channels integrated in it. The biggest advantage is that members who are not able to open can also watch videos that are being played. No longer receive passively.

It is worth mentioning that the Lynx Box M13 also uses a floating desktop, which does not affect the viewing of videos while selecting menus.

In the system setup section, the old interface is relatively simple, but the specific settings require more steps, and the new version is clear at a glance. Each item can be reached with one click.

The biggest difference between the Lynx box and the general box is that the general TV box also integrates the three major sections of film, games and applications. The Ali platform where the online shopping platform stands has extended the tentacles of Taobao to every corner of the Lynx box. Not only integrated shopping app, but also in the TV program actor below also recommend this same paragraph clothes, you can also use Alipay scanning to buy game props ...



TV shopping, mobile phone Taobao scan code payment



Plants vs. Zombies can be purchased directly with Alipay


Remote control integrated Taobao shopping function, Ali's research on e-commerce has gone deep into the bone marrow.


The Lynx Box supports U disk installation of the App. This is also what most consumers are most willing to see. It can greatly enrich video resources.







YunOS 3.0's biggest difference in terms of resources is the inclusion of the “Tmall Cinema” section in “Film and Television”. Tmall Cinema is a super film library built by Alibaba’s billions of dollars, and has licensed six 2000 Hollywood film companies to produce 2,000 quality movies. 160000 hours TV drama, 1200 variety shows, 2800 hours exclusive documentary.

However, this function is not free, but it is divided into monthly payment and point-to-point payment. The richness and video quality of the videos included are guaranteed. However, from the price point of view, the price of 365 yuan/year (the original price of 720 yuan) is lower than LeTV membership, but it is still a little expensive. If you can join in the future to use Tmall points, gold exchange money is no doubt better.


The Lynx box M13 uses the CrystalCrystal S905 chip. This is the terminal chip that JingYan has just launched in March of this year and is located in a cost-effective OTT set-top box. It uses TSMC's 28nm process, 64-bit architecture and four Cortex-A53 cores.

On the GPU side, the Lynx Box M13 is equipped with a Mali-450 GPU. For video, it supports true 4K video hardware decoding and supports 10-bit H.265 hard decoding. In audio, it supports Dolby and DTS decoding.


On the storage side, Lynx Box has been using the mainstream 1GB+8GB combo, specifically the 1GB DDR 3 RAM from Samsung and the Samsung's Emmc 3GB body storage.


From the point of view of the security Bunny ran, the Lynx Box M13 can reach 28,472 points, which is close to the top in the TV box.


This year is the year for the popularization of 4K TV boxes. The Lynx Box M13 is also the Tmall 2nd TV box that supports 4K video playback. The author also tested the music XTV Pro that also supports 4K. After connecting with HDMI, multiple adjustments can be made manually. 4K mode, different frame rates, select 4K MPTE mode here.

The video of roast duck with 60 mbps stream was tested and played normally. There was no stabling, and there was no noticeable grazing when dragged.





The Contex-A53 processor core, which is powered by the Lynx Box M13, is a replacement for the previous generation A7. It inherits the advantages of low power consumption. We tested the body temperature of the Lynx Box M13 half an hour after playing 4K video. 38 °C (room temperature 15 °C), compared to the previous Tmall box 1s even better.

In addition to its own remote control, many boxes have also launched their own mobile phone remote control, Lynx Box M13's remote control called "Ali TV", Android version of Ios are available. This APP can be described as a masterpiece, not only can serve as an ordinary remote control, but also simulate the joystick, racing steering wheel, and supports the option to play online video, put the pictures, videos on the phone to the TV and other functions, very practical.


By placing the mobile phone and the Tmall Box M13 under the same Wi-Fi, Ali TV can directly search and associate the Tmall's box with various controls. In addition to the basic remote control mode, it also supports touch screen, somatosensory remote control, and handle. There are 5 kinds of remote control modes for the steering wheel.


The feel of the remote control has a lot to do with the mobile phone. The author controls the iPhone 6 on the 4.7-inch just fine. If you change to a larger mobile phone, you need two hands, but the experience of the large-screen remote control mode in the handle, steering wheel, etc. Even more, if there is no gamepad, it can be used.


Remote APP integration of online resources is also a major highlight of Ali TV, making up for the inconvenience of using the remote control inconvenience, it is like the mobile version of Youku, the search can be directly assigned to a set, but also drag and drop progress, but the playback screen Show on the TV.


In Ali TV, no matter what operation is performed, the entrance of the remote control is always kept at the lowest end. This ensures that the Tmall box can be manipulated at any time. For example, when you call, you need to tune in to make it quiet.


Ali TV can also be used to install Lynx's box, but it should be to allow users to use their own video resources as much as possible. It does not provide mainstream third-party applications such as sofa butlers and all-aggregators, and they also need to install their own U-disks.

to sum up:

On the whole, the Lynx Box M13 continues the overall appearance of the Lynx Box 1s, and the configuration is comparable to the Lynx Box 2, which is a slightly upgraded version. However, the current mainstream 4K TV box is generally priced at 299 yuan, and this box is only 199 yuan, the cost is particularly prominent.

The new version of YunOS 3.0 has also been greatly improved in terms of user-friendly operation. The addition of TBO Tmall Cinema further increases the amount of resources. However, the annual fee of 365 yuan per year may be a considerable expense for many people. Of course, if not To open a member, its carousel channel can also be seen casually, and support for the installation of third-party APP, resources do not have to worry about.
