Question about XGIMI Aura 2

I am currently considering the purchase of the XGIMI Aura 2 projector and would be grateful for your assistance in clarifying a few points. Please excuse my limited technical knowledge in this field; I am still becoming familiar with this type of product and therefore wish to ensure that I fully understand its features and requirements before proceeding. Could you kindly provide information regarding the following questions: 1) Is it possible to connect the Aura 2 to the internet via a 5G mobile hotspot instead of a conventional Wi-Fi network? 2) What is required in order to watch television content? Would an additional TV box (for example, similar to a Swisscom TV box) be necessary, and are specific cables required? 3) Which connection method would you recommend to ensure the highest possible image quality? 4) Is it possible to play films through a USB connection using an external hard drive? If so, does this result in any loss of image or sound quality? 5) To achieve optimal viewing quality, is the use of an ALR screen such as the XGIMI UST ALR Screen necessary, or are alternative projection surfaces suitable? 6) Is it possible to download and use applications such as Spotify and YouTube directly on the Aura 2? 7) Does the device support screen mirroring from Apple devices? Is the connection sufficiently stable for high-quality video playback, or would the use of a separate Apple TV device be advisable? 8) Would it be possible to view this product, or a comparable model, in person somewhere in Switzerland? If so, could you kindly indicate where this may be arranged? Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your kind response.

Hi @maryyy

1. Internet via 5G hotspot
Possible. The projector connects to any Wi-Fi network, including a mobile hotspot. Streaming quality depends on mobile signal quality.

2. Watching TV
The XGimi Aura does run an AndroidTV OS so you are able to install Apps to watch external sources.
The Aura 2 however is shipped without official Netflix support due to Netflix licensing restrictions on some Android TV projectors.
You are able to connect any external source (e.g. Swisscom TV Box, Apple TV), console, or streaming device. Connection via HDMI.

3. Best image quality
HDMI from a dedicated device provides the most stable signal and full image quality.

4. USB playback
External USB drives work. Films can be played directly with no quality loss; quality depends only on the video file.

5. Projection surface
A UST ALR screen gives the best contrast, especially in bright rooms. A white wall or normal screen works but with lower contrast.

6. Apps
Runs Android/Google TV. Apps such as YouTube and Spotify can be installed directly.

7. Apple mirroring
AirPlay-style screen mirroring works. For the most stable video playback, an Apple TV 4K via HDMI is more reliable.

8. Viewing in Switzerland
Potentially possible at electronics retailers. I purchased the Aura 2 couple of weeks ago. I run it with a separate Android TV (Xiaomi Mi) and Apple TV source and I am very happy.
