What owners say about the Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro

Based on 36 owners sharing their experience in online comments

36%positive22%mixed42%negative

Owners praise the bright, clear picture and strong sound, while early failures and HDMI image problems drive frustration.

What owners dislike

  • Some units show a blinking power light but no picture, cannot be switched off, or stop working within months; a hard reset did not help.6
  • Over HDMI, color and brightness keep shifting, skin tones look green, and dark scenes flicker; switching the image profile and back can fix it.6
  • Auto keystone may not work, so owners correct the four corners by hand, which takes a few minutes but gives a usable image.4
  • Owners say Xiaomi refused repair or replacement for global models even under warranty, and the retailer also refused to help.3
  • Some owners see colored dots in scenes with a dominant color such as green nature, and find the picture too bright, which hurts contrast.3

Points mentioned by at least 3 owners, most mentioned first.

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: October 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro

  • High brightness for its class (1300 ANSI lumens) compared to the standard model
  • Excellent built-in speakers (2x10W) with Dolby and DTS-HD support
  • Fast and reliable omnidirectional auto-focus and auto-keystone correction
  • Quiet operation with low fan noise even in small rooms
  • Sleek and compact industrial design that fits well in home decor
  • Android TV integration provides easy access to many streaming apps and Google Assistant

What customers don't like about Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro

  • HDR performance is often cited as disappointing or barely noticeable
  • Still struggles with visibility in rooms with significant ambient light
  • Built-in system and some apps can be slow or sluggish to load
  • Lack of optical zoom requires physical movement for image sizing
  • Limited native app support for some platforms like Netflix on certain regional versions
  • Remote control lacks backlighting, making it difficult to use in dark rooms

Verdict

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro is a high-performance home cinema device featuring a native 1080p resolution and a bright 1300 ANSI lumens LED light source, capable of projecting images up to 200 inches. Key characteristics include its 1.1:1 throw ratio for large displays in smaller rooms, omnidirectional automatic keystone correction, and TOF+ camera dual focus for instant clarity. Running on Android TV 9.0 with built-in Google Assistant and Chromecast, it also delivers a robust audio experience through dual 10W full-frequency speakers with Dolby and DTS-HD support. Main pros include its impressive brightness for daytime viewing, fast performance powered by an Amlogic T962X-H processor, and a silent operation noise level of ≤28dB. However, notable cons include the lack of a built-in battery for portability, the absence of 3D support, and a relatively long boot-up time for the system and some streaming apps.
