Hey, what’s up! If you subscribe to our Instagram, then
you know that we have been testing the new Wanbo X1 projector for the past few days. By the way,
we often make announcements about upcoming reviews on our Instagram, and we post behind-the-scenes
videos. If you are interested, follow us. So, the new Wanbo X1 projector was released
about one month ago, but there are no hands-on videos about it in English on YouTube. So,
we are the first on English YouTube to publish a video with unboxing,
full review and test of Wanbo X1 projector. If you don’t know anything about the new
projector, then let me tell you about its main features. I have a global version
of Wanbo X1 projector, and I bought it on Banggood for $99. Now, the price is $139.
This is LCD projector with 300 ANSI Lumens brightness,
720p native resolution, 1080P support, wireless screen projection, as well as connection by cable.
By the way, I tested both wireless and wired same screen projection,
and show you this later in this video. OK, let’s start the review with unboxing.
Unboxing Wanbo X1 Projector comes in this box. By the way,
some Chinese stores, for example, Banggood, says that this projector is from Xiaomi. However,
there is no inscription or logo of Xiaomi on the box and projector itself. This is
because Xiaomi just offers the projector on its YouPin platform, but it was not involved in the
development and production of the device. Inside the box, we have projector itself,
remote control, power cable, HDMI cable, AV cable
and user manual. Design
Like other products from Xiaomi eco-system, Wanbo X1 projector has a plastic white body.
On the front, there is a lens and Wanbo logo. By the way, this Wanbo logo
is also a remote control signal receiver. On the back, we can see power button,
AV port, 3.5mm audio jack, USB and HDMI ports. There is also power connector on the back.
On the top, projector has control panel with up/down/left and right buttons,
as well as return button. There is also keystone correction and focus wheel.
You know, control panel looks very simple and useless, so it is better to use remote control.
By the way, the remote control of Wanbo X1 projector looks similar to remote
controls of Xiaomi smart TVs. Do you agree? There are some useful buttons on remote control,
such as settings menu, mouse mode and multi-function keys. Of course, you can
change the volume, mute, power on/off, etc. Okay, now we can power on the projector
and look at the user interface. User Interface and Settings
So, when you first turn on the projector, you are prompted to select playback source,
such as Wi-Fi display, AV, HDMI and Media Player.
OK, now I want to check the wireless same screen connection.
Open the first menu – Wi-Fi display, and then press OK button on remote control. Now,
we need to connect to the home Wi-Fi network. After that, return to the previous menu,
and take your phone. I have iPhone 12 with iOS operating system.
Now, I open control panel on smartphone and go to Screen
Mirroring. There is already Wanbo X1 device. That’s all! Now the screen from smartphone is
on the wall. You know, the delay is not very high. Of course, playing games is not very convenient,
but you can run a video on YouTube. Also,
I want to test the connection by cable. The manual says that I just need to connect the iPhone to USB
port on projector, and click Trust on smartphone. It's very simple and fast. Please, note that
connection by cable is only available on iPhone. You cannot use this method on Android devices.
You know, there is no delay at all when connecting by cable. That’s very good,
because you can play games on smartphone and project the screen on the wall.
Volume and noise level Before talking about projection quality,
I want to measure volume and noise level. So, the maximum volume is СКОЛЬКО
db. The noise level of
Wanbo X1 projector is СКОЛЬКО db. Projection Quality
Okay, now let's watch some videos,
and I will give you my opinion about projection quality in conclusions.
Wanbo X1 Projector
has 720p native resolution, but when you connect it to another device, in my case,
it was a laptop, we see 1080P 60Hz resolution. The projection quality in a dark room is very
good. The colors are bright, while the details are high. You know,
even the edges are not blurry, which is one of the main problems of budget projectors.
However, the brightness of projector is not enough for using it in bright room. Yes, you can still
see a projection on the wall, and it is OK for presentations, but you cannot watch dark movies.
In general, Wanbo X1 is a good projector for $100. It doesn’t have Android operating system,
but there are many ports for connection external devices,
such as laptop, game console, and even wireless connection with Android and iOS smartphones,
as well as connection by cable with iPhones. If you like this projector, I will leave the links
to buy it in description under the video. Thank you for watching!
