Test: Samsung Smart Hub

Konklusion

Det skal siges, det er med blandede følelser, for jeg troede egentlig, at der for en gangs skyld skulle komme en rigtig konkurrent til de mange streaming centre, vi ser på markedet i dag, men jeg må indrømme, det er et produkt, der skulle være udgivet for 5 år siden, så havde det gjort sig bemærket, og ikke ville blive glemt, som jeg tror, denne vil blive ganske hurtigt.

I teorien lader Samsung Smart Hub dig nyde dine dvd'er på alle former for enheder, der ikke har optiske drev som tabletter, ultrabooks og smartphones. I praksis er det dog lidt anderledes, for Smart Hub har masser af problemer, ikke mindst er det faktum, at mange mennesker allerede har droppet deres DVD-biblioteker.

Det er svært at glæde sig, for den er kommet frem - dog 5 år for sent. Den udmærker sig fint med de funktioner, der udbydes, men det er bare for krævende for de afspillende enheder på trods af, det er forholdsvis nye telefoner.

Bundle/Tilbehør – 3
Der kan simpelthen ikke gives en højere karakter. Der mangles et nøgleelement for, at vi kan få enheden til at virke – det vil være det samme som at sende produktet af sted uden manual eller forklaring på, hvordan det virker. Heldigvis er et netkabel noget, de fleste har liggende eller har råd til at købe i den nærmeste computerbiks.

Design/Layout – 5
Jeg syntes virkelig, det er et flot drev, der alt i alt minder om et eksternt drev til en bærbar. Det eneste var måske, at toppen ikke var i så voldsom højglans, jeg havde foretrukket et mere mat udseende.

Software – 5
Der følger en cd med, der indeholder forskellige programmer og software til at opsætte enheden, hvis man ønsker, den skal virke som Wifi enhed, hvis man ikke skulle have det i sin egen router. Udover det er der ikke noget software til at få routeren i gang. Sofwaren til Smartphones er ganske enkelt og virker meget nemt at bruge.

Ydelse – 3
Ydelsen er umiddelbar god, for man kan afspille dvd film samtidig med, at man kan streame en musikvideo af lav kvalitet uden bøvl. Jeg skal ikke kunne sige, om det er mig, der ikke kunne få tingene til at virke, men det virker bare ikke lige så smart i praksis, som det lyder til at fungere i teorien.

Pris – 3
Prisen på 949DKK + fragt, synes jeg lyder af rigtig mange penge. Der findes dog ikke umiddelbart andre løsninger, der er så nemme at få til at virke, men jeg synes ikke pris og funktionalitet hænger helt så godt sammen.
  

UK summary

It must be said, it is with mixed feelings, because I really thought that for once, we would have a real competitor to the many streaming centers we see on the market today, but I must admit, that this is a product that should have been published 5 years ago, so i think that this product will be forgotten really fast, unfortunately.

In theory, it seems with Samsung Smart Hub you enjoy your DVDs on all kinds of devices that do not have optical drives, such as tablets, ultra-books and smartphones. In practice it is a little different, for SmartHub have lots of problems, not least is the fact that many people have already dropped their DVD libraries.

Innovation / Technology - 4
It's hard to be pleasantly surprised, because it has arrived, 5 years too late. It stands out well, with the features offered, but it's just too demanding for the playing devices, despite theese are relatively new phones.

Bundle / Accessories - 3
There simply can not be given a higher grade. There is lacking a key element in order that we may cause the device to work - it will be the same as sending the product of the place without manual or explanation of how it works. Fortunately, a ethernet cable is something that most people have around today, or can afford to buy in the nearest computer shop.

Design / Layout - 5
It's a really nice drive, all in all, similar to an external drive to a laptop. The only thing was, perhaps, that the top was not so violent gloss, I would have preferred a more matte appearance.

Software - 5
There follows a CD, with different programs and software to configure the device, if you want it to seem like Wifi device if you should not have it in its own router. Besides that, there's no software to get the router running. Sofwaren for Smartphones is quite simple and seems very easy to use.

Performance - 3
The benefit is immediate good, because you can play DVD movies while you can stream a music video, low quality and without hassle. I will not say whether it's me who could not get things to work, but it works just not as cool in practice as it sounds to work in theory.

Price - 3
The price of 949DKK + shipping, I believe it's a lot of money. However, there is no alternative solutions that are so easy to get to work, but I can not applaud the poor price with poor functionality.
