XGIMI has appena lanciato the Second generation of their own MoGo compatible laptop processors; the family is composted by MoGo 2 and MoGo 2 Pro, which share the design and a part of the technical characteristics, but they may differ for the native resolution and other details that are underlined in the corso della prova. The oggetto of this review is the Pro version, the richest and most expensive variant of the new lineup.
I new MoGo 2 are portable proiettori, caracterizzati da dimensioni ridotte and a weight contentwhich makes it easy to transport in a bag or a chestnut: the shape is that of a parallelepiped with gli spigoli verticali arrotondati, with a base of 10.7 x 12 cm and height of approximately 16 cm.
The shape and the design ricordano quelli di un altaparlante wirelessas for example the One di Sonos series, also some details (primo fra tutti l’obbiettivo frontale) suddenly rendered the function of the device evident.
Il weight is around 1,070 g, to which two people also add food transport: even in the packaging, which integrates a cable of around 2 meters, has a weight of 230 g. Contrary to the first generation, infatti, and new MoGo 2 does not integrate a batteryma devono essere invece alimentati traite la porta Usb-C presenta sul retro del dispositivo.
XGIMI has released this selection of programming with the feedback received from each user: almost always, infatti, even the first generation It was commonly used with the electrical gridto ensure that the screen is not interrupted by its beautiful skin.
In case of necessity, if it is possible to make the presence of an electrical dam superfluous feeding the device with a power banka pato che sia in grado di erogare at least i 65 W assorbiti dal proiettore.
Audio migliorato
The space ricavato all’interno del device grazie alla rimozione della battery has permesso ai progettisti di aggiungere an audio section of migliore quality, per the prima volta sviluppata internally gives XGIMI. Il MoGo 2 integrates an 8W loudspeaker copy and is able to manage all the digital audio formats for the community in the multimedia sector, such as Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus.
The soundtrack is interesting, with an unsuspected presence of the frequently basse and an excellent intelligibility of the speech; If it is not, of course, a system ad alta fedeltà, ma è più che sufficient per l’use a cui è destinato.
Bisogna però accustomed to the provenance of the sound: contrary to how much I normally access with televisions, infatti, the audio does not come from the screen but from another point of the room; in alcuni casi, potrebbe addirittura trovarsi dietro gli spettatori.
The operation of the woofer is visible through a transparent “finestra” che si trova lungo il lato posteriore del proiettore; Its scope is mainly aesthetic, but it also offers visual feedback on audio playback.
Sul pannello posteriore trovano posto quattro porte: the power supply in Usb-C format, which we have used to speak, a Type A Usb, useful for connecting an external mass memory for attaching multimedia content, an HDMI 2.0 input and a 3-way mini jack .5 mm, to which I will attach a paio di cuffie or an external loudspeaker.
The Bluetooth 5.0 support also allows the connection of a speaker without wires, while the network connectivity is compatible with the Wi-Fi 5 standard (dual band, up to 802.11ac). On the upper panel there is a single button to display the accent; the control of the device is quindi attached to a compact and functional remote controlwhich largely captures the typical layout of Android TV devices.
Android sotto il cofano
The operating environment, of course, is Android TV, for the first time in an XGIMI device is state updated to version 11. The system is endowed with 2 Gbyte of Ram memory and 16 Gbyte of storage, which is covered by the space occupied by the operating system.
The presence of this environment has ricadute molto positive sull’usabilità generale del proiettoreche può essere used in many circostanze without bisogno di collegare an external source.
The system supports infatti the Play Store, with your consent the installation of the streaming service app There are several (from Prime Video to RaiPlay) and several different software from all sources. Also, the Android ecosystem allows the use of the Chromecast function, to send multimedia content in wireless mode from an external device.
The dotazione di app accessible from the store shows però a paio di assenze di rilievo: Netflix and Apple TV+ are not infatuably available, but these services require some certifications, which are not simple or very fast to obtain, especially for less popular producers.
For this reason, in the package of the device there is a piccolo flyer that suggests it Download a dedicated launcherPlease consent to the scaricamento of a version of Netflix compatible with the device.
At the moment when we write, the app is not yet available, at least on the Italian Play Store; ma ill device if found currently in preordered è lecito attendsi novità nel corso delle prossime settimane.
The remote control is Also compatible with Google Assistant, sia per effettuare richerche vocali sia per sfruttarne le altre funzioni di assistant vocale. The microphone, communicated, is present only on the remote and rich in pressure from a button to activate it.
The production function
The production system is basato sulla technology DLP, with a DMD da 0.23”, e sfrutta a lampada a Led che consente di raggiungere una luminosità maximuma di 400 lumen, cresciuta rispectto ai 300 lumen della prima generazione. This is also the main difference with respect to the models of upper fascia, which have the potential to be very powerful.
L’output consente di ottenere risultati più che soddisfacienti in condizioni di luminosità ambientale controllata, especially se si proietta su una semplice parete; Enjoying a dedicated phone, which guarantees a superior display, the contrast improves later and if you can even dare in difficult lighting situations.
The characteristics of the MoGo 2 Pro are common for interesting reasons: the color temperature is indefatti calibrated at D65 while the coverage is thin. 90% of the space color DCI P3.
The big impact is the Isa (Intelligent Screen Adaptation) technology, which with this model will update version 2.0. Thanks to a series of sensors and automatic calibration algorithms, the projector automatically adjusts the table to light, the alignment and the geometry of the shelf, with surprising davvero un’efficacia.
Disregarding the previous version of technology, now the MoGo 2 Pro risks depending on these functions without two to visualize an image of calibration dedicated; The device does not interrupt the reproduction of the images, for example, anyone who urges or moves the support of their cui è collocato.
The technology is also in degree of riconoscere eventuali “ostacoli” presenti sul muro, come finestre, furniture or quadri, and ritagliare the image to place it in the portion free from the wall, avoiding it; Naturally, in this way if you lose any dimension and a part of the resolution, the Pro version will have native Full HD (MoGo 2, now, is limited to 720p).
Il ratio di proiezione è pari a 1.2:1 e l’azienda dichiara una diagonale che va da 40 a 200 pollici; The biggest data is probably a little optimistic, and infatti XGIMI consiglia di rimanere when possible in a Compressed interval between 60 and 120 pollici.
I sensor integration in MoGo 2 Pro individual also the presence of people or animals domestici di fronte al proiettore; In this case, the luminous intensity decreases automatically to avoid excessive light.
Impressions of use
The MoGo 2 Pro is shown a versatile device and rich in functions, thanks in particular to the integration of the Android TV environment and to the presence of a highly effective image adjustment technology; It is enough to position the screen in front of a free wall (or better anchor a screen of screen) and turn it on without worrying about the adjustments.
This versatility finds riscontro also nelle dimensions davvero compatte and in the weight contenutowho gave up the transportable davvero device, for a serata dedicated to the collective viewing of a film or a sporting event, or magari for an improvised professional presentation.
The functions of managing the device are extremely simple, to all advantage of the simplicity of use, but the most important are not bad: it supports HDR10, the custom adjustment of the chromatic settings, a gaming mode that reduces latency and I set an echo function to startle the current.
the device It also supports the playback of 3D content, also naturally it is necessary to procure separately gli occhiali necessari. Entro l’estate è stato annunciato anche uno specifico stand para collocare il proiettore en orizzontale e proiettare sul soffitto, un modalità de uso a quanto pare piuttosto diffusa cuando le pareti sono tutte occupy.
On the bottom panel is present a filettato forum da 1/4 di pollice, che consente l’installazione su un treppiede o su un sistema di mountaggio; Please note that I will consider the weight non-transcurable, that one should be adequately sized.
Currently the MoGo lineup is available in preorder on official site e su Amazon al prezzo di 399 euro for MoGo 2 and 599 for MoGo 2 Pro; La vendita presso la grande distribuzione specializzata inizierà invece il 25 aprile.
