Built-in Android OS:The projector comes with a smart Android 11 or 13 operating system, giving you direct access to streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video without needing an external streaming stick.
Portable and flexible:Its compact size and 180-degree rotating stand allow you to project an image onto a wall, ceiling, or floor. It is a lightweight device suitable for travel or small spaces.
Decent image quality:The projector has a native resolution of 720p but can support and play 1080p and even 4K content, though it downscales the image to its native resolution.
Auto keystone correction:It automatically corrects vertical image distortion for a straight and properly aligned picture, a convenient feature for a portable device.
Wireless connectivity:With built-in dual-band Wi-Fi (some models feature Wi-Fi 6) and Bluetooth, it offers seamless wireless connections for streaming and screen mirroring from smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
Multiple interfaces:For physical connections, the projector includes ports for HDMI and USB, allowing you to connect gaming consoles, laptops, or storage devices.
Limitations to consider
Varies by model:Since theHY300is sold by many different sellers, the exact specifications can vary. Some versions might have different native resolutions, connectivity standards, or brightness levels.
Requires dim lighting:With a typical brightness of 160–200 ANSI lumens, the projector is best used in a dark or dimly lit room. The image will appear washed out in a bright environment.
Basic sound:The built-in speakers are functional for casual use but lack the depth and power for an immersive experience. For better audio, you can connect an external speaker via Bluetooth.
Not true 4K:While often marketed as "4K supported," the projector's native resolution is 720p (HD). This means it can accept a 4K signal but will only display it in high-definition quality.
App inconsistencies:Users have reported some issues with pre-installed apps, like Netflix, requiring the use of a remote "mouse mode" for proper navigation. Some apps may also stop working or require updates.
