Thermal management of XGIMI Halo Plus.Ībout the heat management, I did open the case of the XGIMI Halo Plus and it seems that the device uses a fairly intricate copper heatsink, so it’s a similar system to the Horizon Pro. I mean, you’ll be able to hear it if it’s completely silent, but as soon as anything plays, the sound is quickly and easily drowned.
The shell is perforated and portions of it are used for ventilating the case which is very much needed when dealing with projectors (they tend to get quite hot).Īnd yes, the XGIMI Halo Plus does rely on a fan to push the hot air out, but the good news is that it’s quiet.

The overall design is very similar to that of the Horizon Pro and pretty much identical to the original Halo, so expect a rectangular case with rounded corners, the top, bottom and rear made of plastic and a metallic shell almost completely surrounding the device. Bottom: Horizon Pro.Īlso, the XGIMI Halo Plus is not too heavy, but it has just the right weight (3.52lbs or 1.6kg) to not feel cheap, while also be able to carry in a bag. Indeed, the projector measures 6.7 x 5.7 x 4.4 inches (17.1 x 14.5 x 11.3cm), so it’s about half the size of the Horizon Pro, slightly smaller than the Epson EF12, but quite a bit larger than the Capsule 3.
I was very impressed by how compact the Horizon Pro was, but it seems that the developers managed to make the XGIMI Halo Plus even smaller.

The operating system is still Android TV with Built-in Chromecast and Airscreen and I did like that the Halo Plus continues to rely on Harman/Kardon for better sound quality.

And it’s going to enhance the portability factor a lot more than on its competitors since no manual adjustments are needed every time the device is moved to another location. The autofocus, the automatic keystone correction, intelligent obstacle alignment and screen alignment are also present on the Halo Plus which was a game changer on the Horizon Pro. There is also support for HDR10 and HLG which are excellent features for a small projector and, while it’s not true native 1080p, the XGIMI Halo Plus manages to provide a rich image and lots of detail in a similar fashion to the XGIMI Horizon Pro (also non-native 4K, but very close to it). The brightness is advertised at 900 lumen and it seems to remain at a high level even when in battery mode. In most cases yes, but the XGIMI Halo Plus tries to be a bit better than most other portable projectors. But, as everything that’s battery-powered, there are some drawbacks when compared to the ‘fixed’ projectors, right? XGIMI Halo Plus Projector. This can make camping even more interesting or an evening in the backyard with friends and family more entertaining. The projectors also compete against TVs, but I think portable projectors are a niche of their own and a fairly broad one because they provide the unique ability to play movies and videos pretty much anywhere remotely, without needing a continuous power connection.
