Thx for the test.
what does the T950X2 soc refer to?
is it a dual Amlogic T950 SoC.?
Have been looking into these budget projectors with an all-in-one unit. (battery, speakers, OS)
The XGIMI Halo. and the Wemax M055 seems quite popular (the Wemax M055 is also sold under other brands, like Xiaomi, Fengmi, Formovie, Dice)
I saw that Whathifi criticized the sound in the XGIMI Halo and very bad speaker placement, and I also noticed it weight a lot less than the M055, where the XGIMI Halo seems to be 1.6kg versus 3.3kg in the Wemax M055 (16x15x12cm), quite a difference, and more than double..
as far as I can tell, they all use Amlogic SoC but varies greatly.
Amlogic T-line consists of T968, T966, T962, T950, T920L
the AmLogic T968 (QCoreA53 1.8Ghz, Mali T830, OpenGL3.1, 4k60,10bit, HDR) and is labeled as for high-end UHD TVs and supports USB3. (that's the chip that is in the Xiaomi Wemax M055 native 1080p and that unit also has USB3 and 3D).. that Xiaomi Wemax unit comes with EMUI, some Xiaomi Android OS, that Xiaomi uses in their TVs.
The T962 (QCoreA53 1.5Ghz, Mali450, OpenGL2.0, 4K60,10bit, HDR) is labeled as ideal for low entry UHD-TVs and don't support USB3, that the chip that is in the Formovie Dice M055 native res 1080p (Global version with Google assist and a limited play store), and that Global-M055 variant with T962 does only have USB2.
T950 base variant (QuadcoreA53, Mali450, OpenGL2.0 4K30,10bit, HDR) and not sure its the SoC that is in the XGIMI Halo, I reckon it's a newer revision, as the GPU is in the review-details list the GPU as G31 and that seems to match the newer Amlogic-S-line, S905X2 and that one also supports USB3, though the S905Y2 with Mali G31 doesn't.
But perhaps it's a mix-match, and 2x the older T950 suited with a Mali G31 GPU?.
The lack of USB3 is a con to a certain extent IMO, as you get way higher bandwidth and usually USB3 also able to deliver higher amp if you wanna run fx an android HDMI-stick or attach a USB3-hub to have multiple inputs at the same time, and I often encountered USB2 sockets are choking if you wanna run 2.5" hard drives.

From the XGIMI Mogo Pro:
powered by the Amlogic T950v2, which is a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with a frequency of up to 2.0 GHz. Amlogic processors are very popular in Android-powered boxes, dongles, and projectors. In the case of the Mogo Pro+, this is a second-generation S9 series chip with a Mali-G31 MP2 "Dvalin" GPU,.
Seems it's the same on the Halo.
