Hi! The Netflix app does not seem to be the same you have. No QR code, and worse than that : no remote control compatibility, only working in mouse mode.. Tries the version from the App Store and from Google Play Store, no luck. Can you confirm your App version number ?
Hiya, Thanks for you comment. There have been 2 new firmware updates since my original review.. Sadly the new update seems to have lowered the resolution somehow, also it has affected the ultra short throw ratio as well, which now isn't as good as it was during my review. Also the netflix app changed which now isn't as good as the one in my review. The Old firmware was Q2 20240301.173913 And the New firmware is Q2 20240806.010030 I don't recommend updating to this new firmware version, the old firmware was far better. The new Netflix version is now running on 8.87.0 build 2 50509 which removes the QR code and isn't as good as the last version. And the new firmware update overrides the netflix app, so I'm not sure what the old netflix version was when I reviewed the product. Hopefully there will be another firmware update to fix the above issues soon. But only Wimius will know if they are going to release another update, so it might be worth reaching out to them and enquire. Hope this helps you. 🙂👍
Hi, thanks for this reivew, I'm interested in knowing if there are any upgrades in terms of native resolution and ANSI lumens compared to the previous model, or if the changes are primarily focused on the look and minor features.
Yes if you skip to 28 mins in the video you will see the difference in resolution change. There are time stamps in the description so you can jump to the parts you're interested in. This device has definitely been improved over the previous version. Hope this helps 🙂👍
Hello there! Great Tutorial as always, I wonder wish one of this two proyectors will be the best buy for you: the Wimius Q2 Pro vs Nebula Mars 3 Air. By the way how many Lumens ANSI this new Wimius has? Thank you in advance, Benitez
@@diosneydiaz9934 Hiya, I haven't tested the Nebula Mars 3 Air yet. But going off the spec sheet, the Nebula Air 3 will outperform the Wimius. Hope this helps. 🙂👍
Great review. I would be interested to see how it performs with a VPN and IPTV apps running simultaneously. The old version could not handle Surfshark/IPTVsmarters. It was very slow with Surfshark/isportpro. Also i would like to see if new version can run the regular apps like bbc iplayer, all4, rteplayer, virginmediaolayer. All of these apps were eitger unsupported or unusable on the old Q2. If you could do a new video with side by side tests it would be helpful. Its disappointing the new Q2 doesn't have increased RAM as it really was too slow clunky and very bad user experience. Id consider buying the upgraded version only if the above is supported. Thanks!
Hi Alan, VPN's are not something I usually use when testing as I don't have a subscription with any.. And usually the free ones are slow and affect internet performance. I have some advice for you on the slow down of the machine. If you hold down the home button, this will bring up all the background running applications, so by closing these down that should help a little with performance. In my testing I usually only test RUclips, netflix, and prime, I spend around 3-4 hours with each machine filing the video So I don't test them long term. After my initial review I tried some of the on demand apps, such as bbci, all 4, channel 5 etc and it said Google services was not supported and refused to run these applications. I have notified Wimius of this, so hopefully they are working on a solution to fix these outdated apps in an upcoming update. Hope this answers some of your questions. 🙂👍
@@ReviewingHub Thanks for checking those apps. Maybe Wimius can fix this. I had closed all background apps. If Wimius load a standard Android version then the apps should work. it's a pity they don't. it's good that people know about it's limitations. it would be a nice device otherwise. in it's current build it's not suitable as a tv substitute.
Yes I agree 🙂👍 At present the inbuilt smart features will not replace a fire stick, Roku, Google Chromecast, or android TV. But we can connect one of these devices to the mini HDMI port on the projector so not all is lost. 🙂👍
Hi there, 👋 if you reach out to Wimius via email you may be able to purchase one from them directly. It doesn't look like this version is available to purchase yet as I can't seem to find it listed. They planned on releasing this product at the end of may. But maybe they are running late on production or they might be making other alterations. Only Wimius can answer these questions so it's worth sending them an email. If you send them the link to this video they will know what projector you mean 🙂👍 Let me know how you get on 🙂👍
I saw both versions and I think I'll go for the Q2 upgraded, but where can you buy it? It seems that Amazon here in the USA doesn't have it. Could you tell me where I can buy it and I also want to thank you for the review of the two mini projectors.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. 🙂 Wimius tell me this should be available on the Amazon website very soon. And most likely on their own website too. Just look out for the new IR window on the front of the machine for the correct version. I'm guessing around 1-2 weeks. Wimius are pretty good at answering customers questions. So if you drop them an email they might be able to tell you the exact date. Thanks for watching hope the video was helpful 🙂👍
Not at the moment unfortunately. But I'm hoping there will either be an over the air update released. Or perhaps a downloadable file so we can update via USB stick. I'll do another video when there's one available, or when I've found a way to update the old device. 🙂👍
Hi there, Sorry I have no idea on pricing at the moment. Wimius have great customer support from my experience. So If you drop them a quick email, they might be able give you this info 🙂👍
The fan noise is relatively the same as most projectors I've tested. It does sound noisy, but that's to be expected as the fan is a lot smaller compared to home projectors, and it has to spin at a faster speed, to keep the projector cool. You will hear the fan noise on all projectors unfortunately, I'm yet to hear a fully silent one. Hope this helps 🙂👍
@@ReviewingHub It' okay, but i cant get it to focus right, if it's blury on one side an i focus, then it's blury on the other, no matter what screen size.
That's puzzling ha ha.. Well that's what they told me this new machine is going to be called, hence why I named it the Pro. Maybe they are just going to do a direct replacement of the Q2 and not call it a pro model, or maybe they are planning on calling it something else entirely. But either way they did send me this machine for a review and told me it was going be the pro model. It's definitely real, I'm not that good at editing to make a completely fake video. This new Q2 does exist. 🙂👍
This is strange 🤔 as I'm also suppose to be reviewing the Q3 in June ha ha. I guess I may have to change the RUclips Title and thumbnail if this is the case. 🙂👍 I'll to keep you posted 🙂
No it's not native 1080p. It's around 720p. Yes it should be able to play them kind of files especially if you download VLC player. Hope this helps. 🙂👍
Yeah the link is in my description my friend 🙂👍It's not a referral code and I don't earn any commission from you purchasing with that link just for clarification. Wimius haven't updated the image yet on Amazon to the pro version. But it says Android 11 which is the latest operating system, and it says pro in the Amazon listing. Plus that's the direct link Wimius gave me to add in the description. Hope this helps you 🙂👍
Hey, ich abe auch die PRO Version bekommen. Bin happy damit. Einziger Nachteil, man kann nicht in die Bildeinstellungen währen man zum Beispiel ein Testbild von RUclips schaut. Somit kann man sehr schlecht alles einstellen. Vielleicht kann eine neuere Software das dann :-)
I bought this new version. Too bad the white Netflix app doesn't work, it says "this device (ocolus) is not supported" Only solution they suggested from wimius is to use black, but it's bad, it doesn't keep login and doesn't save login data.... disastrous! Please help me understand how I can and if I can use the white version of netflix, as it happens in this video.... otherwise it sucks and I have to return it... Please help me
You are correct! 👍 I also discovered this after my review, that it doesn't keep netflix logins. You may be able to side load different versions of the Netflix app but that's something I will need to look into and experiment with. The white netflix app was working great on this machine for me.. Have you tried updating the netflix app, or deleting and reinstalling it? You might be able to go on Google Chrome on the projector, go to playstore and update netflix that way. Wimius have sent me their latest Q3 model, I'm in the middle of this review right now, and it should be released next week. Unfortunately this also suffers from the same problem and the netflix app isn't user friendly. I've contacted Wimius about these issues and hopefully they are working on over the air update soon. The problem we have on these machines is they are not Netflix certified, Which I should imagine costs money to be certified. So it's all about keeping the cost down, or Wimius would have to increase the prices to pay for the netflix certification. For now I would use a fire stick, Google Chromecast, Roku device etc that would be a work around for now until an update has been made. Hope this helps you 🙂👍
@@ReviewingHub Hi friend, thanks for your reply! Unfortunately white netflix turns out to be a system application, and you can't uninstall and reinstall. Of course you can do it with netflix black, but it doesn't solve the problem, I already tried. Wimius to me replied "you can use netflix black." But it's really kind of sad-it made me lose the happiness of a perfect purchase! Then it still remains a great item but this certification issue is really boring...cmq thank you for your help, please please if you have any news about this, keep the comments here updated... I have a question for you...is the Q3 you are testing still a device like Q2, extremely portable and with built-in battery? I might give it some thought if I don't keep the Q2....
Yes it has a built in speaker. But I would always suggest using a Bluetooth speaker/ soundbar or a set of Bluetooth headphones for a more immersive experience. 🙂👍
Hiya, I'm not sure why this isn't available at the moment. But here is the direct email for the head of the brand at Wimius for a faster response. g.pakzoe125@gmail.com They might be able to help you out 🙂👍 Hope this helps 🙂👍
