Choosing between the Logitech Rally Bar Mini and the Poly Studio X52? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Logitech Rally Bar Mini if you want the one that costs $624 less and has the wider field of view (113° vs 95° horizontal), better when people sit close to the screen. Pick the Poly Studio X52 if you want a 4K 20MP all-in-one bar for mid-size rooms, no PC needed.
Both are Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certified appliance+USB video bars for small to medium rooms; the difference is camera and audio.
