The product page says it’s compatible with 4K resolution playback but it’s actually projecting at Full HD resolution. For ease of setup, the compact projector has auto-focusing upon startup and it uses a highly sensitive camera that for better auto-focusing accuracy and clarity. It does offer the option for manual focus.
The projector has a throw ratio of 1.2:1 and you can project anywhere between 60″ to 120″ depending on the distance. While it is possible to project up to 200″, Xiaomi recommends a maximum of 120″ with a distance of 3 metres.
The compact projector also gets two built-in 5W speakers with a large sound chamber and super long sound transducers. It uses dual-track virtual surround sound stereo with support for Dolby Audio and DTS decoding.
The Mi Smart Compact Projector runs on Android TV 9.0 which lets you run apps such as YouTube and Netflix. You can install more apps via the Google Play Store for Android TV. The projector also comes with a remote that supports Google Assistant voice commands.
In terms of connectivity, it has an HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port, a headphone jack and a DC port for power. The project has an Amlogic T962-X processor that has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. There’s no LAN port but it supports WiFi 2.4GHz and 5GHz. To keep things cool, the project has its own built-in fan that changes speed depending on the temperature.
