In addition to announcing the Redmi x86 and other products, Xiaomi has just introduced its new portable projectors Redmi Smart Projector and Smart Projector Pro. These are two proposals that are located within the most economical range, so they fall short in some sections, but offer some interesting features.
There are no big differences between the standard version and the superior version. Precisely, one of the many common points they have is the resolution. Unlike other products from the house, such as the Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2, there is no 4K resolution here. We will have to settle for seeing images in Full HD, that is, in 1080p.

Xiaomi’s new cheap projectors
In the case of both models, we can put a “screen” of between 40 and 100 inches in our salon, with a peak gloss of 150 ANSI. For this, we will have to place the device at a distance between 107 and 267 centimeters. Obviously, we are not dealing with ultra-short throw (UST) projectors.
Internally there are also many similarities. The Redmi Smart Projector and Smart Projector Pro have AMLOGIC T950D4 1.9 GHz processors and equip 1.5GB of RAM. Things change at the storage level, the first has 8 GB while the second raises the available space to 16 GB.

As for wireless connectivity, they all have WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. They also have HDMI ARC, USB 2.0, and headphone jacks. As for the sound, although we can use Bluetooth audio, there are also two 3W speakers each that promise a stereo experience and have “panoramic field technology”.
Redmi Smart Projector
The Pro version of the projector has the advantage of omnidirectional automatic correction, automatic image focus with a built-in zoom system, automatic obstacle avoidance, and screen alignment system. Xiaomi says that these features are powered by a proprietary AI algorithm.
As the images reveal, externally both devices are practically identical. They share dimensions (129.5 x 117 x 179.4 mm), but have a small difference in the color of the casing. The standard comes in black and white, while its big brother is only available in black only.
Price and availability of the Redmi Smart Projector and Smart Projector Pro
The Redmi Smart Projector and Smart Projector Pro have been presented in China and, at the moment, are only available in that market. However, below, we share their prices in local currency and their corresponding conversion to euros. We will update this article if the Asian company decides to bring these products to other countries.
- Redmi Smart Projector: 1399 yuan (195 euros to change).
- SmartProjectorPro: 1599 yuan (222 euros to change).
