preface:
As far as projection is concerned, most people know that traditional projectors with large volumes are most commonly seen in daily life, such as those used in school teaching and meetings. Most of them are large and fixed, and traditional projections have no content. They must be connected to computers or other equipment, and only serve as a display medium. Most traditional projectors are expensive, have a short life and high power consumption, and have fan cooling noise when running. Most families still do not install projectors.
However, the emergence of a large number of micro projectors also makes me pay attention to projectors. Compared with traditional projectors, micro projectors use LED light sources, which have a longer lifespan, and have more advantages in volume and price than traditional projectors. Jimi Technology is an innovative enterprise focusing on intelligent micro investment. It proposed the concept of screen less super TV, and launched three new products this year, namely, Jimi Z4X, Jimi Z4Air, and Mango Xiaomi. This article will introduce Mango Xiaomi's micro investment product (I am very grateful for the product trial provided by 72 platforms).
Unpacking and appearance
Of course, from the perspective of appearance, Mango Xiaomi is no different from ordinary electronic products. It is packed in paper boxes. The simple white paper box is only marked with the product name on the front. The striking Mango TV logo in the upper right corner indicates that this is a product launched by the cooperation between Jimi and Mango TV. The strength of the packaging box is very high. I believe the products inside can be well protected.
Open the package and you can see that Xiaomi is still tightly embedded in a ring of black sponge, so that the product will not be damaged by shaking during transportation. There is a layer of plastic film on the surface of the mango Xiaomi that has just been taken out. The plastic film surface marks the keys of the product, as well as a simple manual.
The surface of the plastic film is marked with the indicator light, mobile power switch, sliding lens cover, and focusing key, which is conducive to our quick understanding and mastery of the product.
After the plastic film is removed, Xiaomi's body material appears. Compared with the surface of some products and mirrors, I prefer Mango Xiaomi's slightly rough matte material. It is not afraid of fingerprints and dust during use. It is not just a temporary beauty. After long use, it is still the same as the original, which is more convenient to take care of.
Mango Xiaomi's positioning portable projection, so its interface is relatively simple. The back is successively a power interface, USB2.0, USB3.0 interface, HDMI interface, headset interface, mobile power switch, and audio opening.
Because of the portable positioning, Mango Xiaomi didn't put an Internet cable interface on the body. The benefits of fewer interfaces for Xiaomi are smaller size and more coordinated vision. In my opinion, the interface arrangement on Xiaomi's back is very simple and beautiful, which is just enough.
Don't underestimate these rows of small openings. The volume of small openings under such a small volume can be said to be amazing. I was surprised when I first opened the voice. This voice is enough for home use. Of course, if you are not satisfied with it, you can connect the speakers externally to experience better sound quality.
On the side of the fuselage is the focus key, which almost occupies the entire side of the opening to help Xiaomi dissipate heat.
It is found that this focusing key is still very tight in actual use, and the focusing process is relatively simple, but it needs to be grasped to adjust accurately and forcefully. I hope that the focusing process can be transferred to the remote control in the future, so that focusing will be easier.
The lower right corner of the fuselage is the mobile power indicator light, which can display the power when charging or as a mobile power.
Look at the front. Although the body is small, Xiaomi is unambiguous in terms of heat dissipation. Except for the lens cover, the front is almost full of heat dissipation openings. In actual use, Mango Xiaomi's heat dissipation control is very good. Watching the high-definition film shell for several hours continuously is just warm, and there is almost no noise, Compared with traditional projection micro projection, it has great advantages in power consumption and heat dissipation.
Next to the heat sink is the lens cover. In addition to the function of protecting the lens, it is also the switch of the projector. Just push the projector to the left to turn it on and turn it off. The operation is very convenient. As for the official life data of 200000 times, I believe that there is no problem in using the product to eliminate the lens cover.
The bottom of the projector is relatively simple, with some notes and other product information marked. However, the precautions and suggestions are as follows: do not block the vent, do not shoot the lens directly into the eyes of people and animals, and do not dismantle the machine for non professionals.
In fact, when you look around, you will find that although Xiaomi is a plastic shell, its integrity is very strong. All the openings are on the whole body, and the connection between the bottom and the body is relatively natural. However, it is a pity that Xiaomi's bottom does not have screw holes to connect the tripod, so it cannot be directly fixed on the tripod, It must be fixed with a special bracket, but it has been a long time to find a completely suitable bracket for Xiaomi. I hope the official can launch a suitable bracket for consumers to choose, so that it will be more convenient to use.
Xiaomi's remote control is similar to the remote control of the TV box. It is simple and compact. The 15 key remote control is very easy to operate. The remote control uses a CR2032 button battery. Xiaomi gave a free one at random. The projector is placed in a variety of positions during use. The remote control cannot be aimed at the projector every time, but the remote control is not affected. Therefore, Xiaomi's remote control method is not infrared, but wireless remote control, which is very convenient.
Xiaomi's power supply is a little larger and of good workmanship. It adopts a detachable plug design. If the plug style you use is different from the standard configuration, it can be easily removed and replaced.
There is also a simple manual and a mango TV VIP card. The manual introduces the pairing method of the remote controller, the introduction of the polar assistant and the downloading of the QR code.
Product family photo, host, power supply, remote control, VIP card, manual, very simple.
performance parameter
In terms of parameters, Xiaomi's brightness is 250ANSI lumens, which is not particularly excellent, but its actual performance is more powerful than the parameters. 1G storage and 8G memory are standard configurations. It would be better if 1G storage were replaced by 2G storage.
Let's take a look at the system and UI of Mango Xiaomi
Xiaomi's GMUI system is customized based on Android 4.4. With 1G storage, the use of 8G eMMC high-speed flash memory is very smooth. The projection resolution is WVGA 1280 × 720, compatible with 1080P and 2K resolution, and the effect of playing high-definition video is very ideal.
The content of Mango Xiaomi is provided by Mango TV, and we believe that Mango TV has long been familiar with it. In order to better use the experience, Xiaomi randomly gives a 24 month VIP card of Mango TV, which is very headstrong. However, if you want to watch more content, you can use a USB flash drive to install the desired APP, and the content of Mango TV is rich enough.
The GMUI system is relatively simple as a whole. In addition to the four cards of film and television, music, games and applications, the system applications and the apps installed by the user are behind it. It is worth mentioning that there is also an electronic manual of Mango Xiaomi. If you don't understand something, you can check it at any time. It is a humanized design.
It's the same Android system, so Xiaomi's settings are no different from those of ordinary TV boxes. The projection brightness can be adjusted in the projection setting. It is recommended that you do not click on the horizontal correction of the gyroscope at will, because after clicking, you will use your current placement position as the horizontal position for correction. If you cannot find the horizontal position later, it will be difficult to correct back. There are many projection methods, such as front projection, rear projection, hanging projection, etc. After installation, you can turn on trapezoid correction, manually adjust or automatically adjust it, and adjust it to the most appropriate display position. As a portable projection, Xiaomi has many settings.
Mango Xiaomi can also be used as a mobile power supply. We can press the mobile power switch for 2 seconds to turn on the mobile power function. Xiaomi with 10400 mA large capacity power supply is very good for emergency charging of mobile phones. At the same time, the 10400 power supply can provide Xiaomi with about two hours of life.
Mango Xiaomi can also be used to demonstrate documents such as ppt. Such a portable volume is very good for demonstrating documents during meetings, and the display effect is also very good.
Mango TV interface, with complimentary VIP, we can watch videos without advertising, and also watch some content of VIP film library!

Real picture of projection video:
In addition to using the remote control, Mango Xiaomi also supports mobile phone remote control. Downloading Xiaomi's assistant and projecting it under the same network can remotely control it through mobile phone. At the same time, mobile phone remote control is more abundant than the remote control. At the same time, the app has the same screen function, which is used to share some photos with family after it is turned on.
Summary:
Small size, powerful performance, rich and young color system and appearance design, as a projection priced only in 1999, I think Mango Xiaomi is very excellent. Now high-definition video is becoming more and more popular. It is very suitable to add a micro projector without complicated installation at home to watch blockbusters. At the same time, Mango Xiaomi has a USB3.0 interface, so it is very advantageous to watch high-definition video. Xiaomi also supports 3D video playback. It should be very comfortable to watch blockbusters at home with 3D eyes.
