ELEPHAS 3D Mini Projector

Received it just yesterday and I am blown away by the picture quality that comes out of this tiny little box. Before buying I was so conflicted on whether to go for the reduced priced Nebula projector from Anker or this product. What won me over in the end was higher specs and lighter weight. I had seen Nebula in action but after checking out the performance of this nice little product coupled with the fact that it comes in a nice storage bag along with a small tripod and that it is substantially cheaper than the alternative I had in mind, I am so very happy that I decided to give this a go. What I loved? - I absolutely loved the form factor, portability, lightness of the device, HDMI port for connecting Amazon Fire TV stick among other things and the picture clarity. - I also liked the fact that setting it up was really so simple and even my 12 year old daughter was easily able to stream from her phone. - It came nicely packed and with a lovely storage bag which has space for charging cable and the little tripod that is also included with the product. - The sound quality was decent for the size and depending on what was the source of audio it worked from great to something I can live with but never dropped to a point where I felt an external speaker will be necessary to use it. Having one might perhaps improve the experience but isn't mandatory. (Quite frankly for a TV worth much more than this most people still end up spending on speakers or speaker bar so to expect something more than workable is unfair. It does a good to decent job in area of audio and for a great experience it does have possibility to connect to a dedicated speaker using the 3.5mm jack audio cable or bluetooth audio if connected from phone or fire TV stick. I will anyway be using it with Fire TV stick which while at home will be connected to good speakers so it will not be an issue but for travelling I do not believe I need to spend money in buying a speaker just for this device.) - I also liked the fact that I could charge it up using the powerbank and that it could be used while it is still being charged whether directly from the AC outlet or from the power bank. - The cooling fan noise was not noticeable at all while something was playing. It was only audible when I was switching off the unit and even then barely. What could have been better? - The buttons on remote have a rubbery feel which I suspect will be gunk magnet in days to come. - The connecting ports are on the back so if you want to cast on roof with say Fire TV stick connected it might not be possible without some weird set-up. Casting with phone in such situation may be better. I might be nitpicking at this point. What I did not like? - While the miracast from Samsung phone resulted in both netflix and prime to come on the screen without any issues, from oneplus 6 it did not work and only ever showed black screen with subtitles and audio which may not necessarily be the fault of this device but it might be something end users must be aware of and isn't that clear on the product description itself. - The product comes pre-installed with YouTube and one other video streaming app and both are useless. YouTube is not the standard one and seems to pick some stuff from Brazil I think as most of the recommended videos are in Spansih. - It clearly has an OS on it and I wonder what might have stopped the creator from putting a basic Android version that allowed installing some popular apps such as Netflix and Prime TV thus completely avoiding necessity to connect an external device most of the time. Overall I think if you are looking for a projector you should really consider this product.

I carried out extensive research before buying this projector and found it difficult to filter out the pedantic comments from some reviewers. I paid £165 for this palm projector. I have played a business powerpoint presentation off my iPhone using wireless mirroring, I have connected an ordinary laptop using HDMI and I have shown photos off a USB. The picture is fantastic from between 1m and 2m from the wall. The battery will last a good couple of hours. If you're in a room with all the lights on and the sun glaring onto your wall then the picture will be weak so you need to darken the room slightly. if you lose the remote control you cannot operate the projector, so don't lose the remote control, or your car keys, or your mobile phone, or all hope either. It has a small fan that if you listen carefully you will hear, if you want complete silence find a soundproof room and practice meditation. If you understand English and read the instructions all the way through then setting it up is a doddle. If you need it to operate for more than two hours take a portable battery pack or plug it into the mains, just as you do with a mobile or laptop. I did not understand some of the gripes and negative complaints that some reviewers wrote so here's the point from an ordinary guy looking for something that will do the job. If you're a normal person with a mobile phone, tablet or laptop you can connect to this projector wirelessly or by HDMI. If you dim the lights or draw the blinds the picture is amazing. If people do not talk over your presentation the sound from the projector is adequate and you can connect it to a Bose speaker anyway. The whole setup comes in a neat case with a neat stable tripod and is about the size of a pocket binoculars. And it is only £165 readers; what are you waiting for?

I've had this product for a couple of weeks now and have used it for watching 3d movies, as a tv with a tv box, at various distances to the wall/projection screen and in various light conditions. It's great. Even in moderate daylight it's watchable, so long as you are not at maximum screen size. The picture quality is excellent for this price, although the top of the screen does seem to flicker when keystone correction is used - not sure why that is but it's the reason why it's not scoring top marks. The battery life is not fantastic, but it is portable. The problem is the battery runs out of power even when it's plugged in, so you have to turn it off and wait for it to recharge in the middle of a film sometimes. They offer an extra battery as an add-on but even so - you would think that when plugged in your battery isn't being depleted. It's another reason why it's not getting full marks - with these two issues resolved I would have given it top marks. It also asks to confirm updates far too frequently - this is some kind of error and should be resolved as it's not pleasant to have error messages pop up in front of a movie all the time. I've done a full update but it's still asking all the time. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and have already recommended it to friends, it's a great option for outdoor movies in the summer, or instead of an ugly TV.
