Hi love you're reviews! If this was powered by a power bank would you be able to use the usb port on the projector as a power source for a dongle at the same time? Thanks
@@jayceooi Thank your time and thank you for replying to me. Another question- The S5 uses around 45 watts power and can be used via a portable power bank, I have found most little power banks cannot output 40watt? Do you recommend any?
The best review on the internet about the Formovie S5 certainly... congratulations! I loved everything about this projector but I just wanted to know something from you... Which projector has the best Full HD image? Formovie S5, Formovie Dice or Mi Smart Compact? Does the Formovie S5 have more apparent pixels on the screen than these or can it really do 1080p?
@@lucasmarchette10 S5 uses double shifting in any mode thus pixelation is absent. As to the sharpness of FullHd there's no noticeable difference between 0.23, 033 and even (no-shifting) 0.47
Have one myself with a V10 from Formovie too. Great projector, small, powerful, silent (pricey too but that's to be expected).if you can get it on sale don't hesitate for an easy to carry projection (if you travel a lot for business for example).
👏👏thankk you very much for this video! If you can help me, which one would you recommend with the best image quality and brightness of all these (S5 Formovie vs mijia Projector 2 Pro vs dangbei atom ) or another model that you recommend in this price range? thank you!!
Do you mean after installing ProjectivyLauncher? I cant find it either in ProjectivyLauncher... Only Image setting; like the colors.. there is standard, movie, game etc. but I dont think that adjusts the input lag
Thanks for the review. It made me buy it. Which tv box or tv stick do you recommend? Is Fire TV stick HD enough or is a 4k better? FengOS doesn't help and I don't want to use keyboards and mouse. Thanks!
Hello jayce...i really enjoy your videos I need your help Which would you choose ? Ultimea Apollo P40 Wanbo mozart Or the s5 ? Do you think its worth the extra money or i would be ok with one of the other 2 options Ill just use it in my living room for Netflix and movies Thank you for your help in advance 🙏
Hi Jayce. Thank you so much for this review. Which one should I get, S5 or EVERYCOM RD829? since the S5 work with pixel shifting and the RD829 has native 1080p, should i notice any difference between those two projecting in a 120'? from a 3m distance should i see any pixel? which one has the best image quality in a BIG projection?
You are most welcome, Papo. I prefer DLP projector. Better than 1LCD in overall. Once calibrated correctly, you won't able to see pixel on S5. Just the image will be softer than native 1080p.
What do you rate as the best all around package - the S5 for £330 or xgimi z7x for £450? Only need a screen size of 90 inches. Sound not important as I have a surround sound system
Great and honest review. I am wondering whether to choose the Formovie S5 or the Xgimi Elfin which has a larger 0.33 DMD, optional 3D and official GoogleOS. Too bad you didn't have the opportunity to make such a video about the Elfin and include it in your ranking.

Thanks for the review Jayce!! My sitting/viewing distance from projection screen is ard. 12 ft and projection screen is 7.5 x 5 ft. This will produce an 100 inch screen (16:9). I can place the projector by the side wall ard. 7-8 ft away from the screen. The room has curtains but natural light is there if a projector is used in daytime. Although Dangbei Atom is brighter and shows more detail but I like Formovie S5 better for its natural colours and sound. My dilemma is how will the picture from both (Atom & S5) look from a 12 ft viewing distance? Should I get S5 or Atom? Thanks in advance 🙂
Welcome. It will be bigger than 100". You can refer to this video for projector distance from screen - ruclips.net/video/-uMN_Qs9g-g/видео.html Both of them have the same throw ratio. 🙂

Thanks for your reply. What are the major differences between Dice and Mi 2 pro? This is because I can buy Mi 2 pro from the official MI store in Italy.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I missed the Black Friday deal for Dice. Do you think I should wait for a new one or go for the Vogue pro which is on discount for 649$ on official website? Portability is a plus but my priorities are movies (Netflix, prime video, RUclips etc.), occasional gaming, screen mirroring my MacBook. Thanks again for your time!
Hi, will Nothing Phone Store refund me if the projector I buy at their store has tax when it arrives in Brazil? Do they refund the tax amount if I prove it in purchases through aliexpress or their website?
Great review! You must be working very hard. I like s5 however concerned that it does not have eye protection. Are laser projectors really harmful especially when it comes to kids?
Hello friend! Congratulations on your excellent videos! I had a doubt! What is the distance and size of the screen where you test the pixels that appear at 7:22 of the video?
Hi, i really appreciate your hard work thanks alot! I want to buy my first projector mostly for gaming, the room will be dark but not completely. Which one would you recommend s5, xmigi 2 pro or 3 pro? If the s5 it is, do you have an updated link? Because the price of s5 it seems to be 2600 ils in israel, that is 700usd in the ali express link you shared. Again, thanks so much for the hard work on your vids
Hi Jayce, I’ve heard there might be issues with there no longer being a game mode after updating or having to pay/subscribe for some services, is this true ? Thanks always enjoy your thorough review and videos.
i think the best feature is its light source, ALPD. Laser lasts longer than LED or LCD tech. I'm torn between this Formovie S5 or AAXA P8 mini (Android 10, 179 ANSI lumens, qHD 540p)
Can we use the projector a third streaming service like google chromecast, roku, etc… And what is the viewing distance for 100”?I can’t seem to find it anywhere for distance viewing size. Thank you!
@@jayceooiI bought it, but mine came with FengOS 3.0.2.3164 - looks very different. Not happy at all. I cannot activate sideload apps and it is not very usable. Can you maybe advice? Maybe give instructions on how to use the system?
@@jayceooiThank you for your quick reply. Another question. I'm using my projector in a totally dark room, with a white projector screen, for movies only. If the S5 will display 80" screen size, will the image clarity and color accuracy still be okay?
Hello Jayce, how are you? A question about this S5: Did you somehow manage to remove that clock that sits in the top corner when you use it natively? Does the Kodi App run native well on this projector? Hugs.
@@jayceooi Ty. I saw this clock, but this larger clock in particular is the Kodi clock I think, I am referring to the smaller one that appears with the wi-fi signal next to it, but apparently when the video is played on Kodi it is not shown, which it is good : ruclips.net/video/wSrx1EJZW9U/видео.html That smaller clock is a constant complaint from users of this and other FengOS projectors on Aliexpress. This one: ruclips.net/video/wSrx1EJZW9U/видео.html
@@ottoAJ Yes, I know the clock you mentioned in the first question. Same answer = it will shows on certain apps. Not in Kodi, RUclips and so on... That's the apps issue for not using full screen function properly...
hello @Jayceooi Thanks or your detailed review on Formovie S5 and also on the excel sheet you have put for the portable projectors. Great work and keep it going !! Iam planning buying my first projector, a portable one and could you please help let me know which is better, a Formovie S5 or Halo plus. I see the Light technology on these models are entirely different (LED on Halo+ vs laser on S5) and the lumens on Halo is 900 Lumens vs 1100 lumens on Formovie (not sure if its 1100 at all times). Could you please let me know your thoughts on which one should I be considering . Thanks.
i'm still waiting for someone on the internet to compare r1 nano with formovie s5 side by side. no one made it until today :( one day i will end buying the r1 nano just for testing this!
Hi @jayceooi Thanks to your review of the S5 I decided to get one for myself. I'm now trying to calibrate the projector on my white wall. I watched your calibration video but in your case you can change the settings while having the video on display. How do you achieve this in the S5? for the S5, i need to go to the menu and change settings in the image section. Is there a way to open the image menu while watching a video so i can see immediate impact of the settings i'm changing? Appreciate any help you can provide :)
Hey Jayce, I followed your advice and bought a new Formovie S5 :) I am a little bit confused with some things and hope that you can help? :) *1 - How or where can i downloade 3rd party apps, and where did you get your system launcher "Project Ivy Launcher" from? *2 - I dowloaded the newest system update by accident, do you know if i can get the old version back again? *3 - There is a bit of sound lag when i pair the projector with the soundbar through Bluetooth? I have a xiaomi mi 4K tv stick connected to the projector threw HDMI cabel! I will be very gratefull if you could help answering those questions
1. Follow your Nothing Projector guide to install Projectivy Launcher. Install app store from it then. 2. Can't downgrade. 3. Lag on Bluetooth is normal. Latency depends on your Bluetooth speakers.
why almost all the first top projectors from your chart have low contrast ratio below 400:1? (s5 being a bit higher) isn't contrast important? or color gamut and ansi lumens matters more?
Hi Jayceeoi, planning on purchasing the s5. Is it a rescalled 4k video better in quality imagie than a native 1080 video, or is just the same? What are the main differences?, and can i see any difference in the image quality reescaling content this projector?
Yes, depending on the video bit rates. High bit rate 4K videos are better than low bit rate 1080P videos. But if the 1080P videos have very high bit rate, you won't notice at all.
i have Wanbo Mozart 1 , is S5 better than Wanbo ? Do you know how many inches the S5 have at 3 meters distance ? Wanbo mozart 1 have about 110 inches at 3 meters. Thanks
Hi Jay, thanks for this Brilliant Video. One question: possible to „Stream“ my Apple TV on this Projector? ATV is located in the living room, but i want to use the s5 mostly in my bed room. Same 5ghz wifi Network. TIA!
Thorn between an s5 and and used lamp fullhd from optoma (141x)/benq/Epson. What would you recommend for getting best image quality (controlled dark Room always)? Thanks
@@jayceooi Such powerbanks has weight about 1.5kg. And everything above 27000mah (actually 100W*h) forbidden to bring to an aeroplane. So has to note that "mobility" of this projector is conditional :)
Hi ive been looking at all your videos and finally i decide to buy this one, onlye issue is i cant update the firmware from 3.0 and i can see there is a new one... Would you know an official site for fengmi? Or should i contact formovie directly for the firmwaree??
Everybody please share me your knowhow and experience. Is Fengmi S5 the same device and firmware as Formovie S5 ?. What compatible and safe projectivity launcher APK for and how to download and install it into the Fengmi S5 ?. Thank you.
Hey Jayce. I got the Formovie S5 - (mentioned you to nothing projector.) Do you have a video on how to get the English settings? Most things change to English - but you can change the homepage or deep settings - they are still in Chinese.

Great video. I was curious how you felt about this vs xgimi halo plus? For best picture. I would be curious about how the speakers perform as well. Thank you
what's the best video player with harware acceleration that can show subtitles for Formovie S5? Formovie player doesn't hold audio and video in sync, MXplayer always switch video into portrait mode, Oplayer won't show subtitles when HW acceleration is enabled and without HWa video is jerky.
hello jayce after wathing more reviews from u i have orderd this projector but now i have a doubt my back wall in room is 10 feet long but i need only 70inch screen can i place the projector in backwall and make screen smaller
Hi Jayce, I really like your review style :) it's funny but informative. I am trying to decide between the halo plus and the formovie s5. There is a £250 difference in my market but the halo plus does come with a 5 year guarantee. I noticed that for movie has the lesser 0.23 chip. I am many going to be using it to watch movies and play games, what would you decide to go for in my position?
@@jayceooi Also nothing projector guys told me there is no way to adjust brightness or have game mode. are the recent reports true that for movie have put these settings behind a paid subscription?

Hi! I have a question about which sub $900 portable projector to get. I am mainly using it for connecting it to my m1 mac pro via hdmi (which is 2.0) to watch 1080p movies in a dark room at home on a tripod(ranging 80" to 100" inch screen where it feels comfortable to move around for my cream white walls in my room), and I am considering the nebula 2 pro and the halo+. I want to have good image quality with good color accuracy and distinguishable blacks. I do like the Nebula Capsule 3 for that last point of good blacks in the image with laser projection (with the cost of color accuracy I believe, if there are any laser projectors that have good color accuracy also let me know), but I am not sure if its a deal breaker. Maybe I will consider this projector in the video but I wanted your thoughts on which projector would be good for watching movies with the qualities I mainly wanted since they are all on sale right now on amazon/xgimi website. Thank you!
You measured/calculated only half of proclaimed ANSI? How is that possible? Where is the rest? I had Wanbo T6 Max but I am trying to find something with more ANSI and less noise..
Thanks so much for this great in depth review. I have a few questions: 1. I have heard that when playing games on the S5 we need to turn off auto keystone to get the best possible input delay and also project the image straight to the wall. My question is this: When gaming can we still place the projector at an angle and project the image to the wall at an angle and just manually change the keystone and still get the best input delay?. 2. Did you turn off auto keystone when testing the input delay in game mode when you got 35ms?. 3.Have you tried everything you can to get the input delay as low as possible?. Turning off all picture enhancement, auto Keystone correction and having it on game mode? 3:18 Can you please share pictures of the "Nothing projector" how turn it into English Ui guide. Please share the pictures of this very useful guide on an image host site and post the link under your video. Thanks ☺
Hi, Wemax Go Advanced Pro has forced edge enhancement when using USER settings unless you choose Display Mode. They both have the same software. Is this projector behaving the same? I'm not using the stock software. I'm using the HDMI for my Apple TV.

How do you get to the menu @15:14? I just got my S5 today. Installed ProjetivyLauncher and set to default launcher, but I find it super confusing. There is no Fengmi settings anymore.. Where do I find keystone correction? Where do I find how to enable game mode?
@@jayceooi Mine doe not look like that when I press the menu button. I did however find the game mode in the image settings and it seems to work.. not sure what the delay is in ms tho. But it feels alright. I have another problem tho. when the image is dark, its super grainy, and looks like the dark pixels are moving, like ants.. is this normal??
Hello Jayce, I bought an S5 and I really liked. I haven't tested it enough yet but one thing that I found strange is the pixels because of the dmd chip, didn't that bother you? I'm watching it on a 100" screen from a distance of 280cm and I'm still able to see it =(

Hi, will Nothing Phone Store refund me if the projector I buy at their store has tax when it arrives in Brazil? Do they refund the tax amount if I prove it in purchases through aliexpress or their website?
Please contact them directly. Nothing Projector Customer Service will give you the details.
What kind of current is needed to run this projector with powerbank only? Something like Baseus PD65W PPIMDA-D01 will be enough?
65W PD3. Yes, I am using Baseus too.
Would you recommend this projector or the XIGIMI Z6X if I can get the Z6X for around $90 cheaper
Sorry, I have no idea on Z6X performance.
I just bought this projector. I think its good overall however it kind of struggles in dark scenes. The blacks are too bright.
Make it larger screen will help to reduce it.
Great review! You must be working very hard. I like s5 however concerned that it does not have eye protection. Are laser projectors really harmful especially when it comes to kids?
Thanks! Not limited to laser. Bright LED is harmful for everyone too.
No worries, ceiling mount will solve this issue.

I want to buy my first projector mostly for gaming, the room will be dark but not completely.
Which one would you recommend s5, xmigi 2 pro or 3 pro?
If the s5 it is, do you have an updated link? Because the price of s5 it seems to be 2600 ils in israel, that is 700usd in the ali express link you shared.

For gaming, XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro has lowest latency. If you need more brightness, Dangbei Atom is the better choice.
Hi Jayce, I’ve heard there might be issues with there no longer being a game mode after updating or having to pay/subscribe for some services, is this true ?

why almost all the first top projectors from your chart have low contrast ratio below 400:1? (s5 being a bit higher) isn't contrast important? or color gamut and ansi lumens matters more?
Excellent question. Colours gamut and ANSI Lumens do matter more than contrast ratio.
Hi Jayceeoi, planning on purchasing the s5.
Is it a rescalled 4k video better in quality imagie than a native 1080 video, or is just the same?
What are the main differences?, and can i see any difference in the image quality reescaling content this projector?
Yes, depending on the video bit rates. High bit rate 4K videos are better than low bit rate 1080P videos. But if the 1080P videos have very high bit rate, you won't notice at all.

Hi! I have a question about which sub $900 portable projector to get. I am mainly using it for connecting it to my m1 mac pro via hdmi (which is 2.0) to watch 1080p movies in a dark room at home on a tripod(ranging 80" to 100" inch screen where it feels comfortable to move around for my cream white walls in my room), and I am considering the nebula 2 pro and the halo+. I want to have good image quality with good color accuracy and distinguishable blacks. I do like the Nebula Capsule 3 for that last point of good blacks in the image with laser projection (with the cost of color accuracy I believe, if there are any laser projectors that have good color accuracy also let me know), but I am not sure if its a deal breaker. Maybe I will consider this projector in the video but I wanted your thoughts on which projector would be good for watching movies with the qualities I mainly wanted since they are all on sale right now on amazon/xgimi website.

I have a few questions:
1. I have heard that when playing games on the S5 we need to turn off auto keystone to get the best possible input delay and also project the image straight to the wall.
My question is this: When gaming can we still place the projector at an angle and project the image to the wall at an angle and just manually change the keystone and still get the best input delay?.
2. Did you turn off auto keystone when testing the input delay in game mode when you got 35ms?.
3.Have you tried everything you can to get the input delay as low as possible?. Turning off all picture enhancement, auto Keystone correction and having it on game mode?
