JMGO Launches Ultra-Portable P5X Projector: Smartphone-Sized 1080P Entertainment
JMGO has officially unveiled its new portable projector, the P5X, with standout features including a 0.73 kg (1.6 lbs) weight, smartphone-like compactness, and 1080P resolution at 300 CVIA lumens. Priced at $230 (¥1,646), it drops to $195 (¥1,399) after subsidies and is now available for pre-order on platforms like JD.com.
Designed for Portability
The P5X continues JMGO’s focus on ultra-portability, weighing just 0.73 kg (1.6 lbs)—comparable to a smartphone. Its built-in carrying strap and hidden gimbal design allow for multi-angle adjustments. An optional 3-in-1 charging stand with a 20,000mAh battery extends runtime to 2.5–7 hours for movies or music.
Hardware & Performance
- Display: 1080P (1920×1080) DLP with HDR10 and MEMC motion smoothing.
- Brightness: 300 CVIA lumens (best used with an anti-light screen in dim settings).
- Chipset: MT9-series processor, 2GB RAM + 32GB storage, running Bonfire OS 7.
- Smart Features: Works with Xiaomi’s Mi Home app for voice control and smart home integration.
- Audio: 360° surround sound with DTS decoding and six dynamic lighting modes for immersive viewing.
Connectivity
- HDMI 2.1 (4K input)
- USB-A 2.0
- 3.5mm audio jack
Compatible with gaming consoles, external drives, and microphones.
Market Comparison: JMGO P5X vs. Dangbei Smart 1
In the $150–$200 projector segment, the Dangbei Smart 1 emerges as a strong competitor—priced similarly at $195 (¥1,399) but excelling in key areas:
1. Picture Quality & Brightness
- 600 CVIA lumens (vs. P5X’s 300) for better daytime visibility.
- 0.33" DMD chip with HDR10+, delivering 1500:1 contrast (sharper dark scenes).
- AI Auto-Correction: Instant focus, keystone adjustment, and screen alignment—ideal for beginners.
2. Smart Features & OS
- Dangbei OS 4.1 (ad-free, boots in 5 seconds).
- 15m (49 ft) far-field voice control (supports dialects).
- Deep content integration (Tencent, iQiyi) + Kids/Elderly modes.
- "Task Master" for custom automations (e.g., "Movie Mode" dims lights).
3. Portability & Connectivity
- Type-C port (4K input + 65W power delivery) for one-cable phone/Switch streaming.
- 35ms low-latency (near gaming-monitor performance).
- Dual-band Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.1 (AirPlay/Huawei Cast+ support).
- 20,000mAh power bank-compatible (4.5-hour runtime outdoors).
4. Design & Usability
- 165° adjustable metal stand (for ceiling projection).
- EPP shockproof carry case included.
- 43.4dB noise level (quiet as a library).
- 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) weight—compact as a "boba tea cup."
Final Note: While the P5X shines in ultra-portability, the Dangbei Smart 1 offers brighter visuals, smarter features, and better outdoor adaptability at the same price.
