The most prominent as well as the technological highlight of FPT Play Box S product is the Hands-free Voice Control feature. Without holding a remote, users can still switch channels by voice, open favorite movies, interact with the Google Assistant and control smart devices in their house.

The range of using the Hands-free feature is up to 5 meters, which properly adapts to all living space in the home of every family. With the two noise-cancelling mic-arrays, users do not need to find a remote control to turn on/off the TV, but just need to open it immediately by voice.

Users can easily connect to IoT devices in the Smart Home ecosystem via 4 popular smart-home standards: WiFI, IR, Zigbee, BLE.
