Let's take a look at the parameters of this micro-projection: The Micro Whale Cube K1 uses a Cortex-A53 dual-core CPU, clocked at 1.2 HGHz, and is equipped with a Mali-450 quad-core GPU. With a brightness of 280 ANSI lumens and a resolution of 720p (1280 x 720), it can project a 40-200 inch screen size with two 8-watt stereo speakers built-in.
Little Whale Cube K1 Appearance Details
The small whale Rubik's cube K1 uses black as the main color, and the outer shell is a boxy square appearance compared to the traditional home projector. It adopts a bold and stylish chamfered diamond design. Put on the home and even feel like adding some sense of technology. The whole workmanship is very delicate.
As a home-use micro smart projector, the appearance volume must be exquisite and compact. The size of the product is 212x54x112.9mm, and the weight of the whole machine is 1 kg, which will not occupy any space in the home. And the appearance with a full sense of science and technology is also more loved by young people.
The front of the Micro Whale Cube K1 is a 20,000-hour lens. The front panel uses a metal moire design, which is more generous. Can better highlight the lens. The left side of the lens is a focus lens for autofocus.
The left side of the fuselage is a heat dissipation air outlet, and the right side is an air inlet. This can effectively speed up the heat dissipation and can be used in a more stable operation. It does not damage the appearance and does not affect the heat dissipation.
As a home projector, the speaker performance is better. The Microwhale K1's speaker is behind the fuselage and has two 8W stereo speakers and supports Dolby sound. Can meet most user needs.
The top three physical buttons are the projection button, the mute button, and the smart button. There is a touch volume slider below. In use, we only need to long press the projection button to enter the projection mode or turn off the projector; long press the smart audio button to enter the smart audio mode or turn off the smart audio mode; mute button as the name suggests, short press during playback Can be muted. The design of the touch volume slider is very interesting and practical. When the hand is swiped to the left, the volume increases, and the volume to the right decreases, making it easier to adjust the volume without the remote controller. We use the projector most often in dark conditions. What if I do not see the interface? Micro-whales have long thought of this problem. Simply touch the area under the "WHALEY" logo at the top to light the interface area backlight. These small details can be seen in the humanity of the use of micro-whales.
There is a non-slip mat on the bottom of the fuselage, which is not easy to slip when used. In the middle is the LOGO of the micro whale, as well as the logo for security warnings.

About video resources is a major strength of the micro whale. The microwhales cooperated with the GITV Yangguang Milky Way to access Tencent video, Mango TV and other partner video resources. Many of the hit TV dramas, both domestic and overseas hilarious variety shows can be played on the Little Whale Cube K1.
The micro-whale also prepares sports events for sports fans. Call friends on the weekend and watch the game at home!
The author found that the latest WUI system has added a new feature "Panorama VR". Bringing a whole new experience to users at the same time with rich content resources. In cooperation with the new Chinese song, Microwhale introduced the new video of China's singing voice into the WUI system, making it easier for users to see past content and VR experience. The user can adjust the angle of view by simply operating the up, down, left, and right arrow keys on the remote controller.
For such a video-rich system, if there is no VIP member is very annoying, many videos require members to play in HD. Fortunately, the micro whale implements the principle of service of the gift-giving members. After the projector enters the system, the user can register and log in to earn one year of VIP membership, and the renewal price is very cost-effective, only 199 yuan a year.
The personal settings of the Micro Whale Cube K1 are everywhere. In the settings, we can set the color of the wall so as to present the perfect display effect. You can also manually adjust the zoom and vertical keystone corrections to meet most scenes.

The sound quality is quite good, and it can automatically play the songs in the music station. With the exquisite and compact body, it is also enjoyable to listen to music with tired eyes.
Display performance test
What is the display effect of the miniature whale Cube K1 as a miniature projection device? The author conducted three primary color tests, color saturation tests, color transition tests, and font sharpness tests (multiple digital conversions after shooting the screen due to Zhang Zhang's shooting and the performance of the reader's display equipment are for reference only).
Tricolor test
The Little Whale Cube K1 is carefully tuned by the Little Whale Engineer, and thanks to the TI DLP, the color control is in place in the three primary colors. The color reproduction performance is remarkable, the display effect is bright, the dark details are clear, and the transition is smooth.
Standard definition test
The microwhale Rubik's cube K1 is a miniature projector. In the standard definition test, slashes or lines are more consistent on the display, but there is still a gap compared to the project projector.
Color saturation test
Color saturation is a great concern for users. Into the test, the color reproduction of the Micro Whale Rubik's Cube K1 is bright, very pleased with the eye. The picture is natural and no overexposure has occurred.
Color transition test
Through the test, it can be seen from the figure that on the color ladder screen, each color block in the middle can be clearly distinguished. The red gradient on the edge is distinct and performs well. There are some fly in the green.
Font sharpness test
Whether the subtitles are clearly displayed or not is also a point that users are very concerned about. After the test, it was found that the Micro Whale Cube K1 was quite satisfactory in terms of font sharpness. The font was sharp in angle and the strokes were very clear. Even small texts did not stick to one another.
Photo appreciation
After projecting the Micro Whale Cube K1, we use the following screen shots to let people feel some of the pictorial performance of this miniature projection product. (There is a certain deviation between the screen shot and the actual effect, for reference only)
Charging and battery life test
The life and charging time of a home pico projector is critical. After testing, the small whale Rubik's Cube K1 requires 5% of the system to charge until it is fully charged (full battery indicator light is green). It takes 2 hours and 25 minutes. As a projector with 11700mAh, the charging time is still within my expectations.
How about the battery life when used in peacetime? We set the Micro Whale Rubik's Cube K1 as a standard mode to simulate what is normally used. Measured from full power to 5% system prompted to charge 3 hours and 30 minutes. Watching a movie is more than enough.
Environmental testing
In recent years, the concept of green consumerism has become popular, so we will test the power consumption, noise and heat of this small whalebroid K1.
The small whales Rubik's Cube K1 consumes 24.3 watts in the standard mode, 16.9 watts lower in the power-saving mode, and 40.8 watts in the high-light mode. The three modes can meet the needs of more users and effectively help users. Save energy.
