The back-side of the projector contains the power button as well as an HDMI input, a USB 2.0 input (why they didn’t just go with USB 3.0 is interesting, but it seems to get the job done), a headphone jack, and a DC connection for power.
You don’t need anything else as the remote does all the rest. It features just a few simple touch-sensitive controls on the top, including play/pause and two volume options (up and down).
Given, since this is a portable solution, you’ll likely be using it in normal front-projection mode most or all of the time. It can be used like any other projector, shooting forward to a screen like normal, while also being able to project against a rear-projection surface/screen (a mirrored image projected) or mounted upside-down from a ceiling space (via a threaded camera-like input at the bottom). A feature this also supports, allowing you to, in fact, use it as a Bluetooth speaker when not using it for watching video content. The speakers, designed by Harman Kardon, offer a noticeable range for how small they are, and comparable to a $100+ Bluetooth speaker. It features a brilliantly simple yet attractive design with a mesh grill pattern running around the front and sides, hiding a 5W speaker on each of the sides behind it. A perfect weight for bringing with you on a trip to the backyard or camping. The projector is light in weight, at just slightly over three and a half pounds. Instead, the Halo projector turned our opinions around by providing an impressive brightness, noticeable image detail, accurate colors, and a handful of premium features. None of which are a limitation of this model. Weak battery life that can’t get you through a full movie, or mediocre projection sizes that leave you wishing you’d just used a tablet instead. Limited brightness and resolutions that defeat the purpose of trying to enjoy the pleasures of modern formats. We don’t come across many portable options since many (in the past) have brought disappointment with them. A product like the XGIMI Halo, a portable Android projector that meets and exceeds the expectations of a portable solution. Something that defies almost every opinion you have about a category of product. There is something special about a product that can immediately turn you into a believer.
