- Wimius kindly sent me their new and upgraded Q2 Pro. this projector thoroughly impressed me with its new features, it's a massive improvement over the previous Q2. Wimius have listened to their customers and implemented those improvements on this new model.
if you have any questions about the Q2 Pro that I didn't cover, please leave your comments down below and I will get back to you.
What's New?
* Android 11 Built-In: Say goodbye to external devices! Enjoy a seamless and updated experience with Android 11 right out of the box.
* Enhanced Resolution: Experience crisper and more vibrant visuals with the improved resolution.
* Faster Processor: The upgraded processor ensures quicker boot-up times and smooth app loading, a significant upgrade from the previous version.
* New IR Window: The front IR window enhances remote responsiveness, making navigation easier and more reliable.
* Touch Controls: New printing on the top of the controls makes them easier to see.
Fantastic review! It was the perfect timing as I was about to buy Q2. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment 🙏
I'm glad the video was helpful 🙂👍
Thank you for your review, do you know if the price will be increased?
Hi there, Sorry I have no idea on pricing at the moment.
Wimius have great customer support from my experience. So If you drop them a quick email, they might be able give you this info 🙂👍
Great review. I would be interested to see how it performs with a VPN and IPTV apps running simultaneously. The old version could not handle Surfshark/IPTVsmarters. It was very slow with Surfshark/isportpro. Also i would like to see if new version can run the regular apps like bbc iplayer, all4, rteplayer, virginmediaolayer. All of these apps were eitger unsupported or unusable on the old Q2. If you could do a new video with side by side tests it would be helpful. Its disappointing the new Q2 doesn't have increased RAM as it really was too slow clunky and very bad user experience. Id consider buying the upgraded version only if the above is supported. Thanks!
Hi Alan, VPN's are not something I usually use when testing as I don't have a subscription with any..
And usually the free ones are slow and affect internet performance.
I have some advice for you on the slow down of the machine. If you hold down the home button, this will bring up all the background running applications, so by closing these down that should help a little with performance.
In my testing I usually only test CZcams, netflix, and prime, I spend around 3-4 hours with each machine filing the video So I don't test them long term.
After my initial review I tried some of the on demand apps, such as bbci, all 4, channel 5 etc and it said Google services was not supported and refused to run these applications.
I have notified Wimius of this, so hopefully they are working on a solution to fix these outdated apps in an upcoming update.
Hope this answers some of your questions. 🙂👍
@@ReviewingHub Thanks for checking those apps. Maybe Wimius can fix this. I had closed all background apps. If Wimius load a standard Android version then the apps should work. it's a pity they don't. it's good that people know about it's limitations. it would be a nice device otherwise. in it's current build it's not suitable as a tv substitute.
Yes I agree 🙂👍
At present the inbuilt smart features will not replace a fire stick, Roku, Google Chromecast, or android TV.
But we can connect one of these devices to the mini HDMI port on the projector so not all is lost. 🙂👍
Definitely
I contacted them and asked them when I could purchase this, and they said not developed Q2 Pro yet ??? Is this for real?
That's puzzling ha ha.. Well that's what they told me this new machine is going to be called, hence why I named it the Pro.
Maybe they are just going to do a direct replacement of the Q2 and not call it a pro model, or maybe they are planning on calling it something else entirely.
But either way they did send me this machine for a review and told me it was going be the pro model.
It's definitely real, I'm not that good at editing to make a completely fake video.
This new Q2 does exist. 🙂👍
@@ReviewingHub He mentioned W3. Could that be the model #? Regardless, I WANT ONE
Confirmed: it will be called the Q3
This is strange 🤔 as I'm also suppose to be reviewing the Q3 in June ha ha.
I guess I may have to change the CZcams Title and thumbnail if this is the case. 🙂👍
I'll to keep you posted 🙂
I saw both versions and I think I'll go for the Q2 upgraded, but where can you buy it? It seems that Amazon here in the USA doesn't have it. Could you tell me where I can buy it and I also want to thank you for the review of the two mini projectors.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. 🙂
Wimius tell me this should be available on the Amazon website very soon. And most likely on their own website too.
Just look out for the new IR window on the front of the machine for the correct version.
I'm guessing around 1-2 weeks. Wimius are pretty good at answering customers questions. So if you drop them an email they might be able to tell you the exact date.
Thanks for watching hope the video was helpful 🙂👍
Thank you for your prompt and very helpful response. You made a very complete review.
Can we update the old one with a link?
Good question.
Not at the moment unfortunately.
But I'm hoping there will either be an over the air update released.
Or perhaps a downloadable file so we can update via USB stick.
I'll do another video when there's one available, or when I've found a way to update the old device. 🙂👍
