New mini projectors 2019

The rapid development of semiconductors allowed companies to develop portable LED projectors using LEDs as light sources. As known, their practically do not heat up and do not require a large internal volume for heat dissipation. As a result, compactness has become one of their main advantages. In addition, their service life varies from 20,000 to 30,000 hours, which corresponds to approximately 10 years of active use. Today, companies usually produce modern LED projectors in the form of a compact thin parallelepiped, which easily fits even in your pocket. Moreover, the modern market also offers smartphones with the function of an integrated projector. As known, maintaining high competitiveness requires a constant expansion of the range in almost all segments of consumer electronics. Of course, pico projectors are fully consistent with this trend. Therefore, leading companies regularly present their new models on the market. 2019 was no exception. This year, the range of pico projectors has also expanded significantly. Of course, the format of the review does not allow us to consider their complete list. But it contains the most promising models. This list includes: - Canon Rayo S1 WVGA Pocket Projector; - AAXA P7 Projector; - Miroir Ultra Pro Projector M631; - WOWOTO Portable Projectors; - ELEPHAS GC333 (YG600) Full HD 1080p Portable Home Theater Projector. As a rule, any new consumer electronics usually has a maximum price in the first year of its appearance on the market. Therefore, they rarely come in TOPs from experts. In addition, they do not have positive consumer reviews and therefore are not Best Sellers. Nevertheless, they are interesting for those buyers who prefer the latest innovative models when choosing the optimal mini projector.

Canon Rayo S1 WVGA Pocket Projector

Of course, this Japanese brand does not require the introduction. In January 2019, the company introduced its new Canon Rayo S1 WVGA pocket projector. This model with brightness of 100 ANSI lm, 854 x 480 resolution and contrast ratio of 800: 1 (full on / off) costs nearly $ 260. Its optics with Throw Ratio of 1.60: 1 (D: W) provides the maximum projection at up to 84 inches diagonally at 10 ft. But such an image, probably, will be very dim due to the insufficient Lumen Output. Actually, its Estimated Image Brightness reaches of 72 nits and more only for projections with sizes up to 40" diagonally in rooms with low ambient light (https://www.projectorcentral.com/Canon-Rayo_S1-projection-calculator- pro.htm). The weight and size of this ultra compact square model model do not exceed 4 x 4 in and 0.5 pounds (0.22 kg), respectively.

Moreover, the list of its pros includes: -WiFi connectivity; -Android OS with built-in web browser and Canon Camera Connect app; -4 GB Internal Memory; - 3 W Bluetooth speaker; - a smart touchpad; - compatibility with some wireless gadgets; - support to connect and mirror a smartphone or tablet; - on-screen QWERTY keyboard to type; - built-in power bank for charging; - low Audible Noise up to 18.0 dB. Unfortunately, the projector does not provide Digital Keystone and does not have autofocus. Given the relatively low price and the brand’s excellent reputation, these key features provide it with good market prospects. The video at the end demonstrates its capabilities.

AAXA P7 Projector

As known, AAXA Technologies Inc is one of the leaders in this segment. In February 2019, this company introduced the AAXA P7 1080p Home Theater Mini Projector. List of its pros includes brightness of 600 ANSI Lm at native 1080p (1920 x 1080) Full HD resolution with contrast 2,000: 1 and multiple connectivity options.

In addition, its Throw Ratio of 1.20: 1 (D: W) provides 98"@ 102 inch for optimal 58 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). But, of course, video quality decreases when projection size is increased to the maximum. At Screen Gain of 1.0, the projector provides an optimal 60 nit only for a screen of no more than 88" diagonally. Moreover, the projector supports vertical digital keystone, has 2.0 W × 2 speakers, Memory Card Reader and tripod, and its Lamp Life reaches 30,000 hours. Additionally, the model can use the powerful 38 Watt Lithium-Ion Battery, which is sold separately. At the same time, the size and weight of the model does not exceed 4,7 x 4,4 x 2,7 in and 1,4 lbs, which is excellent results for such specs. Today, this model successfully competes in its segment and costs nearly $ 400.

Miroir Ultra Pro Projector M631

Of course, Miroir USA, LLC also does not require the introduction. This company has over 15 years experience in the projection display technology in close partnership with Texas Instruments. The Miroir Ultra Pro Projector M631 appeared in January 2019 and belongs to a higher class compared to previous Miroir mini projectors. It's a very portable, native-1080p projector with brightness of 700 ANSI lm, contrast of 1,000:1 (full on/off), two HDMI ports and a USB C port. Its weight and dimensions do not exceed 1.5 x 9.5 x 5.4 in and 1.98 lbs. But, of course, these specs are more suited to mini-projectors than pico.

As known, Miroir positions this model as an accessory for the iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Apple TV. But the USB C port provides connection to almost any modern device. Its advantages include a 1080p native resolution with support for 4K input at up to 30 Hz, screen size from 20 to 120 inches diagonally, motorized focus and auto-keystone correction ± 40°, ease of use (controls only for focus, volume, source and power level), two built-in 3-watt speakers, USB charging port, inverting function for a ceiling mount, two HDMI ports and one USB-C. However, some experts consider a limited set of settings a disadvantage. Unfortunately, the price of this model reaches $ 650, which significantly exceeds the cost of other models under this brand. But it corresponds to such class.

WOWOTO P5 Portable Projector

As known, Chinese Shenzhen Wowoto technology Co., Ltd. is a developer and manufacturer of LED projectors since 2006. Today the company offers more than ten DLP LED models with Android OS, the brightness of which ranges from 50 to 700 ANSI lm, native resolution from 854 x 480 to 1920 x 1080, and throw ratio range from 0,25 to 1,6. This spring, the company introduced the WOWOTO P5 Portable Smart DLP Full HD 1080p 3D Projector and the WOWOTO H10 Mini Video Projector, DLP Android 6.0. WOWOTO P5 has a stylish extravagant design with size and weight of 9.7 x 4.1 x 1.2 in and 1.3 lbs, respectively.

It has built-in Android 4.4 OS and uses DLP advanced IntelliBright algorithms. WOWOTO P5 provides brightness of 400 ANSI lm, has a native resolution of 1280 x 800 and supports 1080p (1920 × 1080). Its contrast ratio reaches 10,000: 1 (full on / off). In addition, the projector has a dual 10W 360° speaker and supports 3D movies. According to the company, projection size ranges from 50 to 200 inches. But it seems doubtful. A brightness of 400 ANSI lm is unlikely to provide sufficient image saturation for maximum screen sizes, even in a completely darkened room. Such an image is likely to be too dim. Built-in 15600mAh battery delivers up to more than 4 hours playtime on a single charge. Of course, this is a great result. Moreover, the projector supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection, providing an excellent set of connections.

Today, this model costs nearly $ 430.

WOWOTO H10 Mini Video Projector

WOWOTO H10 became the second novelty of 2019 from this company. H10 has a more traditional design.

It's $ 70 more expensive and costs nearly $ 500. H10 also supports 1080p resolution and 3D videos. But its Lumen Output reaches 450 ANSI lm. In addition, this model provides vertical Auto/Manual Keystone ±40° and uses upgraded Android 6.0 OS.

ELEPHAS GC333 (YG600) Full HD 1080p Projector

American consumers have been familiar with ELEPHAS projectors since 2017. Unprecedented low prices and high enough quality have provided them with great popularity. Today, this company is the world's largest producer of budget projectors. It has more than 10 years of experience in the audiovisual industry. Additionally, the company specializes in the design and manufacturer of digital cinema, projector screens, projector stands, 3D glasses, and Bluetooth speakers. The range of its projectors includes S1, RD606, YG500, YG400, BL45, T20, YG600, CL760 series and the company continues to actively expand it. 2019 was no exception. In particular, in February 2019, the company introduced the ELEPHAS GC333 (YG600) Portable Home Theater Projector.

GC333 provides multifunctional connection and is compatible with TV Box/ Roku Stick/ Chromecast/ Laptop/ DVD/ PS3/ Xbox/ via HDMI input, PC via VGA slot, and USB drive via USB jack.

Optional HDMI adaptor provides connection to smart phone. According to the company, the model provides a brightness of several hundred ANSI lm (3600 Lux) at 1280 x 800 native resolution (1080p supported) with a contrast of 3,000: 1 (full on / off). Projector optics provides a display size up to 200". But, of course, the colors saturation decreases with increasing size.

But these specs seem dubious given the price of only $ 85. Otherwise, this unprecedented dumping will please many potential buyers. Built-in dual HI-FI level stereo speakers deliver booming sound of high enough quality. In addition, ELEPHAS provides a 3-years warranty and has the approval certificates with CE FCC RoHS.

The best mini projector right now

This review is updated regularly with new models Last updated: August 30, 2019 As known, traditional projectors use powerful lamps as a light source. Unfortunately, they have a limited resource and high cost. In addition, their high heat dissipation requires a large internal volume and a powerful cooling system with a high noise level. But the rapid development of semiconductors has greatly expanded the capabilities of engineers, allowing them to develop LED projectors using LEDs as light sources.

Introduction

As known, LEDs and laser LEDs practically do not heat up and do not require a large internal volume for heat dissipation. As a result, compactness has become one of their main advantages. In addition, their service life varies from 20,000 to 30,000 hours, which corresponds to approximately 10 years of active use. Of course, these factors led to the rapid development of the portable LED projector segment. As a rule, companies produce modern models in the form of a compact thin parallelepiped, which easily fits even in your pocket. However, the modern market also offers other form factors, for example, Nebula Capsule or Rif6 cube projectors, and even smartphones with the function of an integrated projector. Usually, companies use the terms mini, pico, pocket, etc to denote them. Therefore, their classification by name is rather arbitrary. However, we can use the classification in terms of their portability. Of course, in this case, size and weight are some of the main criteria. Usually, projectors weighing up to 1 lb are classified as piko or porket models. The upper bounds for mini models vary in the range from 1 lb to 5 lb. But each consumer individually defines this criterion for himself. Of course, a portable projector should provide the ability to conveniently download content and sufficiently long battery life. Therefore, connectivity and battery capacity are important criteria when choosing such a model. As a rule, modern portable models support various connections, including, for example, HDMI, USB, TF Card, WiFi, AV for iPhone, iPad, Mobile Phone, Laptop, MacBook, PC and provide work from 2 hours or more on battery power. But, of course, these features significantly affect the model price.

TOPs

Of course, the selection criteria for any consumer electronics are always individual. Some consumers attach great importance to new products, preferring the latest models. Other buyers are guided by the opinions of experts, who usually focus on objective specs of devices. But many users prefer to form their opinions on the basis of consumer reviews, which, most often, depend on the price / quality ratio of the model. As a result, the contents of these TOPs are usually different. This review offers all of these options. As a rule, most market leaders regularly present their new models on the market. 2019 was no exception. This year, the range of pico projectors has also expanded significantly. The list of most promising mini projectors 2019 contains the following models: - Canon Rayo S1 WVGA Pocket Projector; - AAXA P7 Projector; - Miroir Ultra Pro Projector M631; - WOWOTO Portable Projectors; - ELEPHAS GC333 (YG600) Full HD 1080p Portable Home Theater Projector. Of course, any TOP from experts is always subjective. Nevertheless, most successful models are present in many lists, which, of course, testifies to the objectivity of their assessment. Such TOP list of mini projectors 2019 includes: - Anker Nebula Mars II; - Optoma ML750ST; - Asus ZenBeam E1; - ViewSonic M1; - Vivitek Qumi Q3 Plus; - AAXA P2-A. Usually, consumers pay more attention to price, advertising, warranty, technical support, etc. Today their list contains: - VANKYO LEISURE 3 Mini Projector; - DR. J Professional HI-04; - DBPOWER Mini Projector; - QKK (2019 Upgrade) Mini Projector; - TOPVISION Mini Projector.

Canon Rayo S1 WVGA Pocket Projector

Of course, this Japanese brand does not require the introduction. In January 2019, the company introduced its new Canon Rayo S1 WVGA pocket projector. This model provides Lumen Output of 100 ANSI lm at 854 x 480 resolution with a contrast ratio of 800: 1 (full on / off). A lens with Throw Ratio of 1.60: 1 (D: W) provides the maximum projection at up to 84 inches diagonally at 10 ft. Unfortunately, such an image will be very dim even in a well-darkened room due to the insufficient brightness of the projector. Actually, its Estimated Image Brightness reaches of 72 nits and more only for projections with sizes up to 40" diagonally for rooms with low ambient light (https://www.projectorcentral.com/Canon-Rayo_S1-projection-calculator- pro.htm). The weight and size of this ultra compact square model model do not exceed 4 x 4 in and 0.5 pounds (0.22 kg), respectively. Moreover, the list of its pros includes: -WiFi connectivity; -Android OS, built-in web browser and Canon Camera Connect app; -4 GB Internal Memory; - 3 W Bluetooth speaker; - a smart touchpad; - compatibility with select wireless gadgets, including mouse and keyboard; - support to connect and mirror a smartphone or tablet; - on-screen QWERTY keyboard to type; - built-in power bank for charging. Audible Noise does not exceed 18.0 dB. Unfortunately, the projector does not provide Digital Keystone and does not have autofocus. But projector warranty reaches 3 years. Given the relatively low price of nearly $ 260 and the brand’s excellent reputation, these key features provide it with good market prospects.

Anker Nebula Mars II

As known, Anker is the global leader in charging technology, including wireless charging, car charging, etc. In addition, in past few years, this company produces smart projectors under the Nebula brand. Today, the line of their portable models includes the Nebula Mars and Nebula Capsule series. In the spring of 2018, the company introduced Nebula Mars Lite and Nebula Mars II. They have the same design, size and weight (14 cm x 12 cm x 18 cm and 3.3 lbs). Both projectors provide brightness of 300 ANSI Lm at 1280 x 720 (16:9, HD) resolution with contrast of 1,000:1 (full on/off). In addition, they have powerful 10.0 W × 2 speakers. According to the company, their Throw Ratio of1.20:1(D:W) provides from 40" @1.15 m up to 100" @3.08 m. On the other hand, the company indicates a range Projection Size 30 -150 in, but warns that 150" is the maximum picture size and will only be clear and saturated in very low-lighting. Additionally, both models provide single-second autofocus and vertical Auto Keystone Correction ±40°. Moreover, Nebula Mars II is a smart model (Android 7.1) and supports Miracast, Streaming Apps, etc. Of course, Android 7.1 OS which comes with popular streaming apps, including Amazon Video, Netflix, and Youtube, is its significant pros. The list of its connectivity contains HDMI, USB, Bluetooth, WiFi-enabled with Android 7.1 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. 12,500mAh battery provides roughly four hours of video playtime. Unfortunately, Mars II will not be able to provide high quality in a well-lit room, but in a dark room its brightness provides an excellent result. Today Nebula Mars II costs nearly $ 500.

Vankyo Leisure 3 Projector

Today, this model is the undisputed leader among buyers. As known, the projectors under this brand first appeared on the market in December 2017. Today the company offers several series, including LEISURE, PERFORMANCE, PASSPORT, and BURGER SERIES. Leisure series contains Vankyo Leisure 3 and Vankyo Leisure 510 models. Vankyo Leisure 3 became Best Seller in Amazon in 2018 and continues to lead in popularity in the budget segment. At an unprecedentedly low price less than $ 90, this projector supports 1080p, projects an image width up to 170 inches, has Dual Speakers and provides ± 15 ° Keystone Correction. But its native resolution is only 800 x 480. The projector's contrast reaches 2,000: 1 (full on / off). Of course, these specs may seem exaggerated given the very low price. But, given the huge number of positive reviews, this model can be unprecedented dumping, which will please many potential buyers. Its projection distance varies between 4.9 ft to 16.4 ft. But a company recommends 6.5 ft for maximum image quality. In addition, the model provides 2400 Lux, which corresponds to approximately 75 Lm (LED Beam Angle: 120 °). This model uses the efficient MStar Advanced Color Engine. According to the company, it increases brightness by 60%. Connection Panel contains MemoryCard, USB and HDMI (MHL). But connecting to iPhone requires an extra Lightning to HDMI adapter (not included). When connect with android phone, you need an extra Micro USB/Type C to HDMI adapter (not included). Unfortunately, the model does not have a built-in battery and runs on an AC power cord. Of course, this greatly limits its use, for example, in the yard.

Conclusion

- Canon Rayo S1 WVGA Pocket Projector will be interesting for fans of the latest innovations; - Anker Nebula Mars II provides excellent performance with an excellent brand reputation; - Vankyo Leisure 3 is simply an unprecedented bargain. We sincerely wish you the Right Solution! This video offers unboxing and setup of Vankyo Leisure 3 mini projector. Read the full article

AAXA pico projectors Review

As known, traditional projectors use powerful lamps as a source of light. The list of their shortcomings includes a limited resource, high cost and high heat dissipation. As a result, such models require a large internal volume for heat dissipation and a powerful cooling system with high noise levels. But the rapid development of semiconductors radically changed the situation. Their specs have become sufficient to use LEDs as a light source in projectors. As known, LEDs and laser LEDs practically do not heat up, and their service life reaches 30,000 hours, which corresponds to more than 10 years of active use. Of course, companies began to develop such models. Compact light sources have led to the emergence of a whole segment of LED projectors. Of course, compactness has become one of the main directions of their improvement. Today such models are often called pico projectors. But many companies use the terms mini, pocket or portable. Of course, consumers have responded enthusiastically on a new offer. As a result, many companies have focused their efforts on a this direction. As a consequence, today many companies, including Sony, Miroir USA, LLC, Optoma, Rif6, LLC, Anker, Apeman International Co, etc offer pico models. AAXA Technologies Inc is one of them. It was founded in 2008 as a developer and manufacturer of a micro and pico projectors. Company uses LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) and DLP (Digital Light Processing) technologies, as well as LED (light emitting diode) and Laser light-sources. In 2010 AAXA launched the world’s first laser pico projector. Today, the company belongs to the leaders in this segment. In addition, the modern market offers smartphones with projector functions.

AAXA P300

In November 2012, the company introduced the model of its first popular portable AAXA P300 projector. This projector provides 300 ANSI lm, up to 550 peak lm and 160 ANSI lm with battery at native 1280 x 800 HD resolution with contrast of 2,000:1 (full on/off). The dimensions (4 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm (H x W x D)) and a weight of 1.3 lbs are consistent even with the modern classification of a mini projector. The projection calculator from the authoritative https://www.projectorcentral.com shows Throw Ratio (1.40:1 (D:W)) of 60"@71 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). In addition, the model has two 1 W speakers, a Memory Card Reader and a tripod. Today, this model costs about $ 330.

AAXA LED Pico Projector

Already in August 2013, the company introduced the AAXA LED Pico Projector. This significantly more compact model (2 cm x 11 cm x 6 cm, 0.22 lbs) provides Lumen Output of 25 ANSI lm at 960 x 540 resolution with contrast of 1,000:1 (full on/off). Lamp Life of this model reaches 15,000 hours, which was an unprecedented for 2013 compared to lamps. Unfortunately, its Throw Ratio of 1.70:1 (D:W) provides only 17"@26 inch for optimal 120 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). As known, the image quality, including clarity and color saturation, directly depends on the ambient light level and is inversely proportional to the screen size. In turn, the requirements for the ambient light level directly depends on the brightness. Therefore, projectors with low Lumen Output or brightness (several tens of ANSI lm) cannot provide high projection quality for a sufficiently large screen size (for example, 50” and above). In addition, they require complete dimming. Otherwise, image will be too dim. Of course, light-absorbing panels on the walls and a special screen with a high Screen Gain partially solve this problem. But companies often do not specify this aspect, indicating the maximum possible screen size. Of course, projector has Memory Card Reader and tripod. Unfortunately, model does not have a built-in speaker and does not support of Digital Keystone. The level of its noise reaches 30.0 dB. But the price of this model today does not exceed $ 126.

AAXA P5 and M5 HD LED Pico Projectors

In 2016, the company introduced the P5 and M5 HD LED Pico Projectors. AAXA P5 provides 300 ANSI lm at native 1280 x 720 resolution with contrast of 1,000:1 (full on/off). Dimensions 5 cm x 11 cm x 10 cm and weight 0,88 lbs is consistent with the mini form factor. Throw Ratio of 1.47:1 (D:W) provides 61"@78 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). The model uses the gorgeous high-density lithium ion battery, which provides 135 minute. In addition, the projector has a 1.0 W mono speaker and tripod. Unfortunately, model does not support of Digital Keystone. Today, the model costs $ 452. AAXA M5 is one of the brightest portable projectors. Its brightness reaches 900 Lm (or 500 Lm with battery) at 1280 x 800 resolution with contrast of 2,000: 1 (full on / off). Unfortunately, its dimensions are 5 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm and its weight is 1.98 lbs a bit large for a pico projector. But unprecedented brightness compensates for this aspect. Throw Ratio of 1.20 (D: W) provides 103"@ 105 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). Of course, this is an excellent result for mini models. In addition, the projector supports Digital Keystone, has a tripod and a built-in 2.0 W mono speaker. Today it costs $ 499.

AAXA P2-A and M6 HD pico projectors

Already in 2017, the company introduced five new models. This list includes AAXA P2-A, AAXA M6, AAXA P300 Neo, AAXA P300 Neo Smart and AAXA P2-B. AAXA P2-A is a Smart wireless video streaming pico projector. It uses a powerful quad-core 1.3 GHz processor powering its Android 5.1 OS. Projector provides 130 Ansi Lm at 854 x 480 resolution with contrast of 1,000:1 (full on/off). The cubic form factor with dimensions of 6 cm x 7 cm x 7 cm and a weight of 0.6 lbs is fully consistent with the Pico classification. Throw Ratio of 1.20:1 (D:W) provides 40"@42 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). The model traditionally has a tripod and uses a 1.5 W mono speaker. The projector costs $ 199, which, of course, is a bit for the Smart model. Of course, the AAXA M6 HD Pico Projector belongs to a higher class. It provides 1,200 Ansi Lm at native 1920x1080 (1080p) with contrast of 2,000: 1 (full on / off). Unfortunately, its dimensions 5 cm x 18 cm x 18 cm and a weight of 2.4 lbs are too large for the pico model and more correspond to a mini projector. Throw Ratio of 1.10:1 (D:W) provides 93"@89 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). Of course, this is a great result. This projector does not support Digital Keystone, but has 2.0 W × 2 speakers, Memory Card Reader and built-in premium 90 minute Lithium Ion battery. Unfortunately, its price reaches $ 599.

AAXA P300 Neo Projector

As the name implies, the AAXA P300 Neo Projector is an improved version of the popular AAXA P300. The new model provides slightly increased brightness (430 vs 300 ANSI lm), supports the same 720p HD (1280 x 720) resolution, but with contrast only 1,000: 1 vs 2,000: 1 (full on / off) in P300. Of course, significantly reduced size and weight (3 cm x 14 cm x 9 cm vs 4 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm and 0.8 lbs vs 1.3 lbs) while maintaining the basic specs became its main advantage. Model supports vertical digital keystone and uses 1.0 W mono speaker. In addition, the Lamp Life of the projector doubled (30,000 vs 15,000 hours). Moreover, Throw Ratio of 1.20:1 (D:W) provides 72"@76 inch vs 60"@71 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). Finally, a premium lithium ion battery delivers 1.5 hours of media playback in eco mode. At the same time, the company reduced the price of the model to $ 279 vs $ 330 (street price of AAXA P300).

AAXA P300 Neo Smart and P2-B projectors

As the name implies, AAXA P300 Neo Smart has become the Smart version. Just like the AAXA P2-A, it uses a powerful 1.3 GHz quad-core processor and Android 5.1 OS. The projector brightness reaches 400 ANSI lm at 1280 x 720 resolution with contrast 1,000: 1 (full on / off). Its dimensions, weight, design, Lamp Life, 1.0 W mono speaker and support vertical digital keystone completely coincide with the P300 Neo. But Throw Ratio of 1.50:1 (D:W) vs 1.20:1 provides only 72"@94 inch vs 72"@76 inch in P300 Neo for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). In addition, the projector has a powerful built-in media player for playing 4K content, megapixel slide shows and music. Of course, P300 Neo Smart costs more ($ 319 vs $ 279). AAXA P2-B projector became the lower cost variant of the popular Smart P2-A pico projector. Their specs, including design, are fully consistent with each other, of course, with the exception of Smart features. At the same time, the P2-B has a 150 minute lithium ion battery and is cheaper by $ 40 ($ 159 vs $ 199).

AAXA P6 and P7 pico projectors

In April 2018, the company introduced the P6 Pico Projector with a bright 600 LED light engine capable of delivering 140" diagonal size (for dark area). Of course, the brightness of 600 ANSI Lm at 1280 x 800 resolution with contrast 2,000: 1 (full on / off) corresponds to a fairly high level for a mini projector. In addition, Throw Ratio of 1.23: 1 (D: W) provides 84"@ 88 inch for optimal 111 nits at Screen Gain of 1.2 (low ambient light). Moreover, the model provides Digital Zoom and vertical digital keystone, has a 2.0 W mono speaker, and its Lamp Life reaches 30,000 hours. Its dimensions 4 cm x 13 cm x 12 cm and weight 1.2 lbs can be considered average for this class. A projector costs $ 334. In February 2019, the company introduced the AAXA P7 Projector. List of its pros includes brightness of 600 ANSI Lm at native 1080p (1920 x 1080) Full HD resolution with contrast 2,000: 1 and multiple connectivity options. In addition, its Throw Ratio of 1.20: 1 (D: W) provides 98"@ 102 inch for optimal 58 nits at Screen Gain of 1,2 (low ambient light). Moreover, the projector supports vertical digital keystone, has 2.0 W × 2 speakers, Memory Card Reader and tripod, and its Lamp Life reaches 30,000 hours. Additionally, the model can use the powerful 38 Watt Lithium-Ion Battery, which is sold separately. At the same time, the size and weight of the model does not exceed 7 cm x 12 cm x 11 cm and 1.4 lbs, which is excellent results for such specs. Today, this model costs $ 399.

Conclusion

Of course, the review format does not allow to include all models under this popular brand. For example, it does not include ST200 Short Throw (0.8: 1), AAXA S1 Mini Nintendo, AAXA P4-X Android, etc, as well as AAXA 4K1 LED (spring 2019).
