Differences Between Skyworth Leap S1 and Skyworth Leap S2

The Skyworth Leap S2 is quite easy to setup through the Google Home App and showcases the simple setup of these smart devices through the Google Home App. Thanks to the Google Assistant you can control this device and any other smart devices through voice control straight from your TV.

The Skyworth Leap S2 is a compact Smart TV, with its quick setup and smooth operation it transforms any old TV into a good priced smart google TV. After installation we did not detect any type of slowing while perusing apps and streaming. Its operation is fast and unhindered by processing or lag and when you think about how this comes from a small flash drive like stick its quite amazing. While it is a bit more pricier then most android boxes it does deliver better then most. From our limited testing we at TechSceneZA give the Skyworth Leap S2 a 7/10 and will update you with an extended testing period.

Skyworth TV’s are set apart from our other brands like Hisense or Samsung, where they are using their own propitiatory smart TV software. Whereas Skyworth is going direct with Google which means you are linked directly to the google play store.

Skyworth SUD9300F 55” TV

The Skyworth SUD9300F 55” Android TV runs on Android 10. It comes built-in with Bluetooth 5.0 and Chromecast. The TV has a boundless screen. This TV has built-in Google assistant and google play store, since it is based on the android operating system. It also comes with built-in WIFI.

Product Features

Remote and Google Assistant

On the remote we have our regular functions as well as Netflix, YouTube, Google Play and Amazon Prime Video hot-buttons. The remote also has a Google Assistant button. If you do not want to use the remote, the Google Assistant is very helpful because all you have to do is say “Hey Google” and tell her your command. Google can help you with any sort of commands and is absolutely helpful. It does however make you lazy, because instead of using the remote you just have to say “Hey Google, turn on the TV” or “Hey Google, increase the volume”. Even if someone does not know how to navigate their wy around a smart TV, all they have to do is ask Google and Google will help them. This can also integrate into a smat home.

If you are not very trusting of the Google assistant, you can turn it off at the back of the TV and Google will not be listening to you. How you know this is by the colour of the dots underneath the TV. If it is white Google Assistant is on and listening, and if it yellow Google assistant is turned off.

Price and retail information

Pros

• Google playstore, you will always be up to date and you wont be using a 3rd party OS that tries to connect to the TV, Which we do experience with some other brands. It is Googles operating system so we will be receiving updates to the software and have access to the Playstore.
• Built-in chromecast.
• Google Asistant.

Cons

The TV did not come with a 3.5 mm audio out jack. That is how we conneted our soundbar previously, but with it coming with 3 HDMI ports, we decided to sacrifice one to use the HDMI Arc.

SS330 – 2.1CH Soundbar

The soundbar ties the entire system together. Even if you were not looking at the TV you would still be enjoying the viewing experience.

Product Features

The Soundbar connects the the Sub woofer via Bluetooth and all you have to is turn on your soundbar to Bluetooth mode and press the pairing button at the back of the sub woofer and it will automatically pair. Then every time you switch on the soundbar they will pair. The sound bar does not have to be purchased to go with a Skyworth TV, it can go with any TV although it is in your price range.

Price and retail information

The sound bar is retailing for R2299 at HiFi Corp and R2499 at Incredible Connection.

The Skyworth Leap-S1 is a Google certified android streaming box. It is built in with an almlogic S905X2 quadcore processor. It has UBS 2.0 and 3.0 ports, HDMI 2.1 and 8 gigabytes of internal storage. It runs on android 10 and has a R900 built-in chromecast.

The Skyworth retails from R1000 to R1100 in Makro, Incredible connection and most massmart retailers.

The box is very small and has virtually no impact setup anywhere. All you have to do is plug in your HDMI and power, then set it up.

Installation

1. Pair remote with android box
2. Select language preference
3. You can either choose to set up the box with your phone or you can set it up manually

Once you’ve completed the installation the box would be setup and ready to go.

Besides the remote having the usual power, source, home, back and volume buttons. It has YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime video and a google play hot button. The buttons have an amazing feel. The remote also has a built in google voice assistant.

It is simple to setup and that is it. I like that it is Google certified, which allows you to install something like DSTV now, something you would find on the Google play store. This is an option to convert an ‘older’ unsmart TV and bring it right up to scratch with a TV that was released recently. You are paying a decent price for this box so you know it wouldn’t pack up after 6 months.
