Verdict

The Xiaomi Wanbo X1 Pro is a compact, portable LCD projector featuring a native 1080p resolution (with support for 4K decoding) and a brightness of 350 ANSI lumens. Running on Android 9.0 with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage, it offers built-in access to streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity. Its main strengths include an durable all-glass lens design, a long-lasting LED light source rated for 20,000 to 30,000 hours, and flexible setup options via 4D keystone correction and manual focus. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively high operating noise level of up to 40dB, potential software limitations or app licensing issues on the older Android version, and a brightness level that requires a dark environment for optimal picture quality.
