Good energy but would have liked you to spend some more time on the image quality and showcasing how it performs in different lighting or background situations.
👍👍
Great Review Brother. Quality of content is very nice. I agree with your point on using the normal DC in port vs USB C. I am more inclined toward Benq gs50 for this precise reason. Another downside is the fixed zoom. They say you can’t change the picture size in this, and it depends on how far the projector is from the wall? Is that correct?
Hey Amardeep, very nice commend from your side. It is true - the screen size depends on the distance between the projected wall and the projector itself.
isn't Benq gs50 much much more expensive??
So this is better or not than your Nebula? Cause I didnt get your remark. Also, there are some videos stating that the previous version has a better image quality, any points on this?
What other android you find better than this for the same money?
Thanks, great review!
The Nebula Capsule 3 is for sure better. Whether generation 1 is better - I can't say because I do not have the older generation around
Hi! Wonderful review! I was wondering if it’s possible to connect it to a Mac Mini wireless without the use of any external app of service.
Thank you very much and keep going!
You will need a cable to do that...
The most valuable thing that I watch is your videos Michael, but I am not sure that this projector is the best solution for this.
Wow, such an honor! Thank you so much for the kind words.
I think it is fun. If they release a fully portable version - it would be fantastic.
@@TechMishka You always can bring with you portable electrical generator Michael! 😀
Mi again 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻
I saw that box video on xiaomi channel 😉
You did? Wow! Nice! Didn't know it's out already, let me check it right away.
I will be looking for such a thing really soon - for my new apartment! Great timing :D
I would love to hear your recommendations.
I have thought about replacing the TV with a projector many many times. But for HDR content and for crisp and sharp image ... Idon't know - guess I still prefer a real display
A proper ALR screen will cost more than this toy projector
Thanks for the great review. The choice between this xiaomi model and Touyinger q9 not easy. What do you think?
Not easy at all... I'd love to try them out side by side too. Hard to say which is better based on just specs.
super boulot j'ai la version globale depuis 3 mois je l'utilise surtout pour les films et le sport et je suis super satisfait que me conseiller vous comme écran à cadre 🖼 de très bonne qualité pour ce vidéo projecteur je l'utilise dans une pièce très sombre bonne continuation
Glad to see you like the projector! Same here!
unfortunately specs is to low for 600€ thx M. for another great review
Yeah, I also find the price a bit too steep. But given the good setup and all that has been going on in 2021, guess it is kind of okayish. Thanks so much for the support, Pawel!
Thank you for the amazing review! Just bought one from banggood on sale for 450€ 😋😋
Good choice!
another amazing video from you maaan 😎🤘🏻like always it’s very helpful 👍🏻 and definitely made me think about getting one 👀🤩
I think the Pro 2 version is even better, however the price is a bit steep :\
Does this version has the same focus issue like previous version or not? Thanks
this please
Not familiar with the issue on the previous generation. Some people report that when it works for a prolonged time it messes up the focus. I haven't noticed such a problem with this projector.
@@TechMishka thanks bro
Looks decent, although at the moment I'd still lean toward my beloved wee Xgimi Mogo Pro - although that doesn't have Netflix natively (I'm fine with a Firestick though).
Good point! Netflix is the service we mainly use at home, but I guess - having no native Netflix app is not necessarily a deal breaker.
Fantastic review; I have had mine for a few years now and agree with your points. In regards to the power adapter, is there a way to streamline it with an alternate adapter? The Chinese to US adapter is SO LOOSE that footsteps might kill the connection. I have it rubber banded and taped but that is a less than elegant option. Conversely, I'm nervous I'm not calculating the inputted and outputted volts / ampage correctly and might burn out the projector. Would love to hear back. Thanks!
I was looking for the same thing actually - having similar struggles as you do. I haven't found a better one yet.
@@TechMishka I ended up getting a universal ac power adapter that had a variety of tips and adjustable power outputs (19V for us). Got mine at microcenter but you'd probably be fine spending half as much at Amazon. Been going a month strong and no signs of issues. Best of luck!
Hi there...this was a great review. Does the projector have a built-in battery and if yes, what is the battery life like? Thank you
No in-built battery, unfortunately
@@TechMishka thank you for your response. Last question... is a black background or white background better to use
hey! can you connect to a bluetooth speaker with it? to get better audio quality?
Sure, this is well possible.
What do you think between this projector and the Nebula Solar Portable? I also saw your review for that one, but it's hard to make a decision if the Xiaomi worth it? I know it has 100 lumens more bright, but worth it?... Also is there any difference in terms of image quality?
In my opinion the Solar is a little brighter. Perhaps it is the slightly better overall device.
What do you recommend this one or xgimi halo ? Im stuck between them or if u have another similar options to xgimi halo with same price range.
XGIMI are great about projectors. This one is a good option too
Great Review! How is gaming from a console and latency?
I would avoid gaming on a projector.
I need help , which one should I buy to watch movies and videos at home? What is the advantage and disadvantage of version 1 compared to 2, which one has more vivid and beautiful colors?
Both have the same optics as far as I know.
That auto keystone correction gave me nerdgasms
:D
I wanna know how much is the Input lag? If i use a ps5 and if its not okay which is a better projector in the same price range
Better get a projector with dedicated gaming mode.
Can you adjust the screen size? If for example you place it at 2.2m from the wall can you have a screen of around 45-50inches? Or the screen size is fixed based on the Projector's distances? Thank you in advance!
The screen size is based on the distance to the projection surface.
Am planning to buy the same projector. I see you have bought it 2yrs ago. Is it still worth buying in 2023? And also if you are still using the projector how is it been working now?? Thanks in advance
While I no longer have it around, I am sure it is still well performing. The specs are still relevant.
@@TechMishka thank you so much for the update
Hi, I want to know if the link you put from Amazon is the youth 2 version or the youth 1 version, thanks, and what is the difference between both?
There is still not edition 2 available on Amazon - I will update as soon as it appears. Right now I can only find it on Aliexpress.
Very nicely explained. Thanks
You are welcome
Can you connect with an iPhone and stream or duplicate your screen???
U don't have an iPhone around...
Great review Michael. Please let me know what is the maximum recommended screen size one should go for with this projector in a complete dark room, considering the best image quality?
With these projectors - the closer you are to the screen, the crisper the image quality will be.
Perhaps a 60-inch option is quite good if you need more detail.
@@TechMishka merci beaucoup mon ami bonne continuation et bonne santé
Hi there. Do you know whether or not this projector plays movies in 3d?
It can play them back, but I'm not sure whether it can create this effect.
@@TechMishka the thing is that I have some original movies in blue ray 3d but my old tv broke down, so I’m looking for a projector capable of doing the task. If this thing can do it I would buy it.
Hi bro, is this device or should I prefer viewsonic m2e?
The ViewSonic model is good too
I have a connection problem when the Bluetooth speaker mode is enabled, the connection is dropped after 1-2 min. Is this normal? I literally cannot use n the bt speaker mode
Oh, that's weird. Try to update the software.
@@TechMishka hey, reset from the menu for android solved the problem. Thanks
Hi,
In User mode menu, am I the only one who don't see any change? looks like brightness is not changing if I increase or decrease.
The difference between 80 and 100% is very minor.
Do you suggest this to a casual game player, i know that you ve already mentioned in the video but i wonder if it is a real deal breaker?
I had the same question found out that this device has a video latency around 500ms which by no means is considered ok for gaming
If it is for gaming - there are two major drawbacks:
- Android TV limits amount of games a lot
- there is considerable amount of latency, so for games where reactions are important - this is a no-go.
Better play games on a TV.
Hi Michael, It is really a nice review. I have two questions: (1) Does the Xiaomi projector 2 have the zoom function or not? (2) What is the chip size inside? Thanks in advance!
The chip set is listed in the review.
As for zoom function - there is unfortunately nonsuch feature...
@@TechMishka Hi Michael, so, i can't shrink the image, am i right?
@@TechMishka are you sure it has no zoom? I saw some other videos with Mi Youth2 (which is basically the same, but CN version) and it has zoom function
Hi thx for the video!! Can u say me at 2.3 meters from led to the wall how much inches would have?
It is around 50-60 inches.
@@TechMishka thx for the answer but with the trow ratio of the projector is imposible to get only 50-60, have to be more. Are u sure? If u can test that for me..
Thanks for the video!
Is it possible to update Chinese version to Global ?
I don't think so.
I'm dumb.
Can you tell me the distance the projector can project? What about 5 meter distance to the wall?
Thanks.
Hey Ahmad - better keep a shorter distance, so that the image is a lot brighter.
Very expensive unless you really need a not so portable projector. I don't think it's really good value for what you get.
Sounds fair. ANy recommendation for a better value ratio?
Yeah please do tell.
I get your point, if this would be a regular projector. But it is more like a portable android Tv, cause you dont need a laptop or other source for projection.
At this time, 8/12/22 at 370 euros is it worth it. Or do you recommend me something else?
The price is fine. If you can find Gen 1 - it is good enough too.
:) Sadly i doubt anything will be improved once Xiaomi releases it and you buy it Saying by experience. Love it or leave it.
This more or less sums up most tech devices being released these days...
can you use the internal speakers simultaneously with bluetooth speakers?
Likely there will be sync issue when adding multiple speakers. Theoretically - you can do it, practically - not sure whether it will be as good as you hope it to be.
Does anyone know if I can install it in the ceiling upside down and turn the image 180 to correct it?
May I connect speakers??? Bluetooth or cable or I don't know!!!
Sure, you can do that.
Do u think there’s another projector with same or better quality with lower price than this?
There are some, yeah. Check AliExpress or GeekBuying for some alternatives.
Can you guide how to connect a gamepad to it? I plugged the usb in the usb port, but it ain’t working.. any driver needed?
No drivers needed - Android has its generic drivers, however some models might not be supported.
@@TechMishka Does it need bluetooth pairing? Coz I plugged in the USB. Installed game from playstore. But game still gets manouvred by remote and not the joystick.
Can you use your cellphone as a controller?
Does it loose its focus like its predecessor after the lens has warmed up?
Didn't especrience such an issue on my end.
Do you know is there option to angles correction? not meeting the horizontal(keystone)
Yes, there are some fine-tunings for it in the Android settings.
Hi! I can't connect this projector model to iPhone via Screen Mirroring. What can be wrong?
hmmm, not sure... I am not an iPhone user myself. Any chance to check with Xiaomi's support?
What kind of gamepad i can use for this projector ? Thank you
Most bluetooth-based will work fine.
@@TechMishka Thank you 🙌
Hi!
I bought the MI Smart Projector 2, but I couldn't get it to work. The remote control doesn't pair with the projector, the projector doesn't detect any Wifi network and also I couldn't connect to it via Bluetooth network. The only way I was able to access the system was through the mouse connection, but as it is not possible to configure the settings without being connected to the internet, I could not use it. Can someone explain to me what is happening and if possible could help me?
I thank you for your attention.
Hmmm, sounds like the wireless modules are not working. Better ask for a replacement.
So what are differences to Xiaomi Mi Smart Compact? It's almost half the price and specs are the same.
It is very similar. A bit older and honestly - I believe it offers a lot better price-performance ratio.
Can i connect my marshall bluetooth speaker on this projector?
Sure.
Hi, can AVR (sony dh-550) be connected to this device?
If it has HDMI output - then yeah.
Hi Tech 4 all,
Which Stativ for the Beamer do you Use ?? Thx and Greetings.
Any basic tripod with 1/4'' mount will be fine
Здрасти мишо нямам търпение да те видя ❤️
Колко е хубаво като видя нещо ново от теб, Вико! И аз така - много ще се радвам най-накрая да завъртим някоя-друга обиколка на пистата.
@@TechMishka дано
i own the same projector (mi smart mini projector 2), and i cant find a way to adjust image settings while playing a movie. I have to stop the movie, exit to start screen and go to settings. Its impossible to calibrate a screen without a reference movie playing. At mi smart mini projector 1, you had to press the middle button on the ring, with gen.2 when you press it nothing happens. Can anyboby help me with a solution?? Thank you in advance.
Oh, this is super annoying! Not sure if there's a way to do it with the current firmware.
Hello, anyone have tried this projector outside? I want to use it in the garden. how he behaves if it is not total darkness? thank you.
It is okayish. But has to be close to dark in order to get good image.
Can you pair iPhone IOS system via bluetooth ?
I don't think it will work.
@@TechMishka yup i dosnt sux (
Just want to ask. Is it possible to install ps remote play or steam link?
If you can do this on Android TV - then yes.
@@TechMishka Thanks for the reply, just got 1 myself, would just like to ask did you manage to plug in a usb pendrive? did it detect for you as mine cant.
Hello, are PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 compatible?
Yeah, but there is a bit of latency
Is this the same as Xiaomi compact projector' ?
I think so.
what stand did you use? at 0:30
It's a basic tripod - they are all over Amazon.
hi how to connect remote control for gaming
Gaming on a projector is never great because of the delay.
Hi good day question is there google website?
About what? Or you mean the Google App in-built?
This doesn't have a battery or does it? I know the Nebula can be recharged but I think the Xiaomi can't...
There is no battery inside, which is unfortunate.
Can we connect soundbar through bluetooth
Yes, this is supported.
Just had it 2 days ago but the projector cannot find 5ghz signal so I bring it back to the shop for claim.
The shop open a new one for me and do the test but it still has the same problem that it cannot find 5ghz signal 😅 so, shop open another new one to test but the same ….. now don’t know what to do
Did you try another smartphone/router?
@@TechMishka Yes, I did try to connect the projector to 4 different routers ( Mi ax1800 , Asus , Dlink and Mi ax3600
but there is only 1 router found 5Ghz signal which is Mi ax3600.
Other smartphones and other devices can see 5GHZ signal of all the routers.
This is so weird
@@ballinaire make sure the firmware and the android tv versions are up to date. This was a problem about a year ago but it got fixed (it was bloody nightmare btw). Your unit may not have been updated.
Price how much
Check online
hey bro where you get that tripod
That I don't remember... Check on Amazon and Aliexpress.
Is it good for classrooms
Yes, it is.
Can project at 60 fps? Thanks
you can have a 60fps video projected, but it will have the standard refresh of the projector.
@@TechMishka Thanks for replying. I was unable to find the refresh rate of the projector.
@@TechMishka What is the refresh rate of the projector?
Bought it for 260euro on banggood with ars :-D
Nice! 🙃
Can I use it in Canada ?
Sure
I’ve the same projector it’s got all green…! Can u help to repair it
Oh, this is bad! Better check with Xiaomi's support
@@TechMishka ok..!! I’m unable to find Xiaomi support in India..!!
@@TechMishka can u help me with this.. Pl
can you do screen cast from an Android phone?
Yeah! 😎 Chromecast in-built.
Hi. Chromecast built in is included in Chinese version? Or global version?
Does it have Apple AirPlay?
Unfortunately not
Does it support bluetooth
It does
Are you sure the darker the wall the better the picture? Don't You mean the darker the room
The darker the room indeed. Excuse my mistake.
Hey, I know I'm bit late but can I download a browser on googleplay and use it on this device?
I doubt it will work...
Can pdf or word install on it
Sure.
7.22 empty can . good help
👍
Apakah ini bisa di gantung min?
You can place it on a tripod.
Support ps5?
It is not suitable for gaming
nothing can be said about this product as review seems mare advertisement with mingling some images.
What should be shown/said, so that you can get your own opinion?
La version 1 tiene mas brillo😯
👍
Fucking there is no online sales in India...... Only mi laser projector 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Perhaps temporarily out of stock.
👌👌
☺️
At $660 it's too expensive
What other cheaper alternatives would you suggest?
What he forget or had to omit in the review: this device looses focus after a while, the software is slow and crashes esp on RUclips or Netflix. Video latency is so high that you can not play anything.
Hey Betham, thanks for the comment!
What do you mean about "after a while"? Never had it with mine, and it's been working for days already. RUclips and Netflix work flawlessly both. I'm surprised to hear about these issues - because such kind of hardware has been used in multiple TV Boxes.
@@TechMishka there have been complaints with the first version that the video becomes blurry after a while of watching. This results in people Re adjusting the focus which is really annoying. Have you experienced this in the 2nd edition?
@@TechMishka I've been wanting to buy this but I'm a little hesitant because of the blurring issues in the 1st version. Good review by the way sir 👍
Power adapter are not charging brick…. Nothing are charging,, amateur…
Some has had a bad day... Cheer up, mate.
P.S. Point taken.
9to5mac voice wanna be 🤣😉😂
Now I need to hear that!
Xiaomi and Google aren't working together! They hide this lack of (Google Service) feature. I've stopped buying Xiaomi products!
So - this one runs Google TV, certified by Google and you say they are not working together? Oh my...
you're confusing Xiaomi for Huawei.
Airplay works with it? (Im sn idiot with iphone)
There are some ways to stream from an iPhone, but the integration works a lot better with Android phones. Sorry mate
