Redmi Projector 5 Pro combines native 1080p resolution with a compact smart projector design priced at 1,899 yuan in China. The projector supports image sizes up to 120 inches and features 1,000 CVIA lumens, HDR10 compatibility, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 5ms latency for gaming and video playback. A metal gimbal stand provides up to 150 degrees of tilt adjustment, while dual HDMI ports, Wi-Fi 6, and an enclosed optical engine with an all-glass lens round out the hardware. Integrated ToF sensors and an HD camera automate focus, keystone correction, screen alignment, obstacle avoidance, and wall color adaptation.
The fabric-wrapped front panel and integrated U-shaped support create a streamlined exterior while maintaining a compact footprint. Automatic side projection correction compensates for viewing angles up to 30 degrees, allowing flexible placement without manual adjustment. Xiaomi's HyperConnect platform powers the software experience alongside the XiaoAI assistant for smart home integration.
