Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not high definition but very small, portable and lightweight

I think pocket projectors give you more flexibility when you need to entertain on the go. They're great for impromptu movie nights, entertaining the kids on the go, or if you're tired of watching a movie and staring at a tiny tablet screen - no more bulky projector cabinets cluttered with cables. The projectors are now optimized. This feature-packed pocket projector is a mini projector that pairs with your phone to project photos, videos and presentations up to 110 inches from corner to corner on a wall. Part of the device is located precisely on the surface. This pocket projector's LED lamp delivers 200 lumens of brightness with a contrast ratio of 300:1. The resolution of the image is 854 x 480 pixels, so it's anything but high definition; It's clearly more entertainment than a serious offer to watch movies. Videos can be viewed in 4:3 and 16:10 formats. It has two built-in speakers, one on each side. Depending on the mode you choose, the built-in battery lasts about 3 hours in sleep mode, almost 2 hours in standard mode and 1.5 hours in backlight mode. I can connect my phone to the projector by connecting microUSB. wired or wireless connection via DLNA or Miracast. That means you need a phone that supports these wireless standards. I can also play videos from a microSD card. It plays MP4, MP3, AVI and JPEG files. Measuring 4.76β€³ x 1.49β€³ x 2.3β€³, this mini pocket projector gives credence to its name as it stretches the material of your pants. It fits in a jacket and can easily be slipped over jeans if they're not too tight, but it won't fit in a shirt pocket. Overall, this mini projector is a versatile and portable projector thanks to its decent selection of ports. despite its small size. This makes it easy to connect a large number of different devices. Its small design looks good and makes this projector easy to carry. For me the price is a bit high. However, the low resolution means image quality isn't as good as some rivals, and the maximum brightness is too low, meaning images can look washed out in bright environments. Still, it's a great portable projector, especially for business presentations. Pros: - Compact design - Lots of ports - Easy to carry - Lots of connectivity - Easy to use Cons: - Low resolution - Not as bright - Copyrighted content from Hulu, Netflix and similar services CANNOT be mirrored or screencast. - Chromecast is not supported.

Pros
  • Useful beyond its intended purpose
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
