Design and build
So firstly we will talk about its design and build quality. As you can clearly see the design of the Zeb smart bot in the above image. It looks very premium and attractive.
Comes with a built-in Alexa and a five-watt speaker. It has holes on all four sides for a better and clear sound quality. It also comes with a 360 degree IR blaster.
On the top of the speaker, we can see the media control buttons and a power on/off button. It also has two microphones on the top side for getting better input.
Build quality is very good feels very durable and sturdy. At last, we can say the build quality is very awesome and the design also looks very attractive. It has various things that make it easy to operate.
This is a very lightweight speaker. It only weighs around 400 grams which makes it easily portable.
Sound quality
Now we will talk about its sound quality. Firstly I want to tell you that it comes with a 5-watt speaker. So the sound volume is not that much loud. But it is enough for a small room.
There is a very minimal bass present in the speaker. But the sound quality is very good. The sound is crystal clear you can listen to anything in the speaker. Even you can also listen to speeches in the speaker without any problem.
But I want to tell you that the sound quality is not that much good on Bluetooth mode in comparison to wifi mode. I recommend you to use this speaker on wifi mode only.
There is a very high latency while using Bluetooth mode. There is a delay of 3 to 4 seconds in the sound while using Bluetooth mode. I hope you understand the issue.
Zebronics Zeb Smart Bot Features
So now I will tell you about the major features of the Zebronics Zeb smart bot.
1 . The most trending feature of this speaker is the IR blaster. The presence of an IR blaster makes this speaker different from other speakers present in the market.
With an IR blaster, you can control your non-smart remote-controlled devices with Alexa. It comes with a 360 degree IR blaster means you can control your devices irrespective of the position of the speaker.
This means you can control your television, air conditioner, or any other remote-controlled device by voice command or by using your mobile phone.
2 . This Zebronics Zeb smart bot comes with a built-in Alexa. In this price range, this is a very great feature. With the help of Alexa, you can also control your smart devices with voice commands.
3 . This speaker also comes with an offline mode means you can also use it even when there is no internet present. It will work on Bluetooth mode when the wifi is not present.
4 . It comes with 2.4 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth version 4.2. No doubt WiFi is very good but when we look at Bluetooth it feels a bit old. There are also some issues with the Bluetooth of the speaker.
5 . This speaker doesn’t come with a battery. It will only work when it is plug-in. There is a micro USB port present on the front side of the speaker. There is no adapter present in the box.
So you have to buy a separate charger or adapter to operate this speaker. In the box, you will only get a micro USB cable which is not of good quality.
6 . There are dual far-field microphones present at the top for capturing voice more efficiently. It helps in increasing the voice capturing range of the device.
7 . You can also control the speaker and other devices with the help of the ZEB home app. This app is specially designed to control and register this speaker. The app is available to download on the google play store and Apple app store.
