37 € Banggood Coupon - WEMAX One
At the end of 2017, the electronics giant Xiaomi launched its first projector on the (Chinese) market. The Xiaomi Mi Laser Projector impressed with its impressive features at a low price. Almost half a year later, a visually identical model called “WEMAX ONE” appeared in China. The only external differences are the color and the logo. A query to our Chinese colleagues at the time revealed that both models were produced by "Fengmi Technology" (峰米科技), a Xiaomi subsidiary, and used projection technology from APPOTRONICS.
Both devices share the same components. Even the integrated SmartTV function “MIUI TV”, which comes from Xiaomi, has been retained. So what is the crucial difference? According to retailers such as Banggood, who have had the projector in their range for years, the Appotronics ALPD 3.0 display technology achieves a whopping 5000 lumens instead of 7000 lumens. It has now also been confirmed that the WEMAX ONE projects a slightly brighter image than the Xiaomi projector (1st generation). According to measurements, a luminous flux of 1668 ANSI lumens is achieved.
Despite the identical hardware and laser technology, the higher brightness is made possible by Fengmi installing higher quality laser diodes in the WEMAX ONE. In terms of price, both devices are close together, which is why you should preferably opt for the WEMAX projector. However, it is also worth mentioning that the European market launch for the Xiaomi model is coming up soon, which will not be delivered with a Chinese MIUI TV, but with Android TV.
Note: In addition, you will find all specifications, experience reports and further information in the article on the Xiaomi laser projector .

Do you have an estimate as to when sales of the “international” version will start?
Timo
Hi Thomas, the US FCC is the international model since early July and the product page is already available on the Mi website. I strongly believe that the international model will be available by October at the latest.
Alex
Is there a way to get notified about the market launch?
Timo
Hi Alex, I suspect you mean the projector with Android TV. It's been available for a few weeks now. All information can be found in the other post.

But which is only available from the original model or even from the WEMAX ONE (Pro)?
Christoph
And we have distinguished the international model except the language? Or identical hardware?
