XGIMI Z6 – a new model of the projector in 2018 from the legendary Chinese company XGIMI. This projector is the second project in the line of LED DLP projectors with native FullHD resolution. And if the company’s flagship can be called the XGIMI H1 / H1s projector, then this model of the projector perfectly complements this line while not strongly competing with XGIMI H1.
Design
The projector looks very simple and cute. No unnecessary details. XGIMI Z6 is made of white plastic with a matte surface. On the top panel we see the company logo and touch buttons for volume control, pause and start. Ports, in comparison with the previous model, became smaller. The manufacturer left the most important connections, such as USB 2.0, HDMI, DC and a headphone or microphone jack. All of them are located on the rear panel, next to the power button and the grille. It is very convenient that they are not scattered throughout the projector.
On the front panel, there is a lens, a perforated grille, and speakers. One of the advantages of this projector is that the lens is protected by glass. It protects the lens and solves the problem of contaminants. On the bottom panel are four legs, thanks to which the projector does not slip on the surface. The design and design of the remote control are very similar to the previous generation. The console is small, white with black buttons. It connects to the projector via Bluetooth. The console has all the necessary keys for comfortable control of the projector. It is powered by two batteries. In general, the projector weighs almost 8 kg and also has a fairly compact size of 19.30 x 19.30 x 4.80 cm.
Hardware
The projector runs on a 64-bit four-core Mstar 6A838 Cortex-A53B chipset with a Mali-T820 MP4 graphics processor. The device has 2 GB of DDR3 memory and 8 GB of internal memory eMMC. The projection distance is 2-3 meters. In addition, hardware decoding HDR 10 provides a clear contrast between rich and dark details on the screen. XGIMI Z6 uses technology DLP (Digital Light Processing), the light source – LED lights. The projector has a Full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, the amount of light output (or simply brightness) is 700 ANSI lumens.
Features
The projector runs under its own operating system GMUI 3.0 based on Android 6.0 with several pre-installed applications. By the way, you can also install any applications convenient for you and subscribe to third-party services. The screen with a diagonal up to 3 meters provides an amazing impression of viewing. When you turn on the projector for the first time, the projector displays a clear image, thanks to autofocus. This solves the problem of a tedious focusing process. To make the video quality more enjoyable, XGIMI Z6 has built-in “smart” motion compensation. This function optimizes fast and sharp movements on the screen and makes dynamic scenes softer and smoother for the viewer. To connect to the network, the projector uses the built-in Wi-Fi module (802.11 a / b / g / n / ac). Bluetooth 4.0 is also available.
As for the sound, it is almost perfect on the XGIMI Z6. The projector has a built-in speaker unit from Harman Kardon. If you do not know, Harman Kardon is the leader of quality sound at the world level. Recently, he has been actively cooperating with the Chinese company XGIMI.
