Product Appearance
The first time I got Xunfei Translator 3.0, its silhouette reminds me of Apple TV's remote control, which is rounded and full of texture, and after lighting up the screen, it looks like a retro straight-board cell phone, which makes people can't help but play with it constantly.
The 3.1-inch display on the front, covered with 2.5D curved glass, has a resolution of 480*800 and a PPI of 301, making the display quite detailed. Even though the display effect is not so important for a translator, Xunfei still equipped it with a pretty good screen, not only can't see the graininess but also doesn't affect the display of the content under the outdoor bright light.
The physical buttons below the screen are designed to be quite simple, namely the Home button in the center and the Speak button that points to the Chinese and foreign language counterparts. It's very simple to use, as long as the translator is on, pressing and holding the blue button will record and synchronize what the other person is saying in real time and translate it, and when you let go the translator will read out the translation. Conversely, you speak to the other person just by holding down the red button, which is very convenient.
The button further down is the speaker, Xunfei gave the speaker a larger space, the actual hearing is also quite good, the loudness is also satisfactory enough, even in the outdoor more noisy place, the volume is turned up full can be heard effortlessly, the human voice does not appear to break the sound phenomenon.
In fact, Xunfei Translator 3.0 is not only equipped with one speaker, there is also one in the front position on the back of the body, which may be in consideration of the fact that when the two sides communicate, the other side also needs to hear clear sound.
The most noteworthy thing on the back is the camera, which officially has no specific parameters, but from my actual experience, it supports autofocus, has some zoom capability, and has flash support in low light. Sitting in a restaurant abroad, whether it is to shoot the menu held in the hand or hanging on the wall of the signature dishes can be easily.

Product Experience
Though Xunfei Translator 3.0 is designed to look like a cell phone and has a built-in Android system, it is quite restrained in terms of functionality, and seeks only to do a good job of translation-related work, while subtracting others. The system's operating logic is no different from Android's, with left and right swipes switching functional interfaces, and sliding down to expand the notification bar, which controls WIFI, mobile data and Bluetooth.
The Xunfei Translator is known for its multi-language support and offline translation, and this generation of Xunfei Translator 3.0 is no exception.

The only commonly used features besides dialog translation are photo translation and spoken language learning.
