What you need to know :)
NATIVE RESOLUTION: Don't be confused when it says it supports 1080P(full HD). It does support it but doesn't mean the image quality is Full HD. Full HD resolution, is 1920 pixels horizontally by 1080 pixels vertically making up the image quality. The native resolution of this projector is however 854 by 480 pixels (not on listing, but according to the manufacturers when I contacted them). In reality this means that the maximum image quality you will get is 854 by 480 pixels in quality. If you play a HD quality movie then it will scale the pixel quality down to fit the native resolution, hence it supports HD. Currently this native resolution is the best I've seen for portable projectors of amazon. This is the same for the very expensive portable projectors which currently goes for ยฃ300 plus. BRIGHTNESS, LUMENS AND OUTDOOR USAGE For those of you who are not familiar with the term lumens, then itโs the measurement used for brightness. Not on the listing that I'm aware of, but the manufacturer says it's 3500. I doubt this very much as I also own an expensive Epson projector which is actually 3400, and the brightness compares in no way. The Epson is actually 3400 and about 3 times brighter I'd guess. The expensive Epson I can use on summer afternoons from about 17:30 onwards when the sun sits slightly lower. You won't be able to do the same with this mini projector. You will have to wait till it's considerably darker for outdoor usage. In general from my experience as this is my 5th projector, when buying an unbranded or cheaper projector then the lumens claims are always wrong in comparison to Epson and other brands up there in quality and price. KEYSTONE CORRECTION This functionality is usually not provided by cheaper projectors. So this is great having this in the bag. For those of you who don't know what it is, this is exciting. Normally when you project from an angle onto the wall the image would be skewed and out or proportion horizontally / vertically. This however corrects itself so the image remains rectangular even when projected from an angle and usually is only included with expensive projectors! SOUND Is about what you expect for a projector this size with an in-built speaker. However it does have an audio in socket which means you can hook it up with a blue tooth speaker portable speaker by cable to give it some more juice! If you using it as an outside projector, and don't want to disturb your neighbours, then you can plug in an earphone splitter into the audio in cable and split it into 5 earphone or more depending on which splitter you get. These splitters go for about ยฃ5. FUNCTIONALITY AND USE I think the interface and ease of use and setup is really good for what you pay. It also provides a feature to use subtitle files for movies. Itโs really easy if you have movies on a memory stick. Simply plug it in and play basically. It comes with a handy bag and tripod. The tripod was slightly flimsy for me so I got a stable cheap ยฃ5 one from eBay as a replacement which works great for me. As a portable projector I bought it for travel. Its size is absolutely great for that and the image quality that comes with a small projector like this. The only thing I'd watch out for is that on Amazon currently they advertise the "newer" version of this projector on this listing. It's actually nothing like this one... they look completely different and the "newer" one looks much bigger in size which defeats the purpose of having a small portable projector! Hope this helps!

What an Amazing Piece of Kit - Ignore Pedantic Comments from the Tech Geeks!
I carried out extensive research before buying this projector and found it difficult to filter out the pedantic comments from some reviewers. I paid ยฃ165 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 ยฃ165 readers; what are you waiting for?

Great little projector, well worth it's price.
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.

Not perfect but very suitable for me
spend a lot of time researching to buy a projector, (I actually returned one from another brand a couple of days after receiving it) So I was quite happy when I found this projector, this has been the best investment I have done in a long time. Here is my list of why: PROs - Resolution: if you want a descent image, and even to be able to connect your PC or laptop, you need at least 1280x800, which is HD at 720p, anything lower than that is not good, and that together with the 16:10 Aspect Ratio (it has 16:10, 16:9 and 4:3), means it works quite well with a computer. - Lumen: 3500, very bright as you will see on the photos, the image where you see the projection was during the day, at night it look even better. - Contrast: 2000:1, you don't want anything lower if you want to enjoy a good movie. - O.S.: It has Android 4.4, and it works very well. It is brilliant to be able to just turn it on and play Netflix, or Amazon Prime from the device. - Bluetooth: This I use a lot, I can project the image in my bedroom wall and connect a bluetooth speaker which I can place right next to me, so we can have great sound, without waking up the kids. Cons - It does not have a battery, so you cannot take it camping or too far from an electric outlet, but to be fare, I used to have one and the battery never lasted long enough, so I was always plugging it in anyway. - It is not as small as other models, so you wont be able to carry it in your shirt pocket. Conclusion In my opinion, this is the best projector at that price range.

Unreliable
Since my last update the heating issue actually didnt go away it help but still it vant be used for prolonged period of time. Since buying it ive not really used it ive just not had the need for it. I would esitmate ive not used it more then 10 hours. Now im finding it doesnt turn on. I can hear the fans start but the projector doesnt start. Ive given up on it and will scrap it. ***Update as of 25/05/2020 On the 18/05/2020 elephas reached out regarding the overheating and switching off issue, advising that i should update the device. I have followed the instructions provided and it appears to have worked. No longer overheating quickly and switching off. Im updating my stars rating to reflect this resolution. --โ-----------------โ----------------โ--------------- Quality of image is reasonable. Good for viewing content around 480p, expect colours to look washed and faded and not accurate but its not terrible. Ideally for 50"+ projection you will need a pitch black room otherwise too washed to enjoy anything, you should use this projector for presentation or projecting screen where you need to demo you desktop where icon and text are on view as detail will be lacking.Sound quality is equivalent to a small cheaper portable bluetooth speaker its on the tini end but again not terrible. A product like this will shine if your travelling for example camping you can project a good screen size and have more heads view it rather then gather around a tablet. The biggest issue is that it over heats quickly within 15 to 10 minutes or quicker depending on the ambient temp. At normal room temp 21ยฐC it can display the overheating sign often which it even cutting off. In summer ots not usuable unless you have fan next to it blowing over it which defeats the purpose of portability. In summary for its a passable bit of bit mostly due to overheating quickly but for projections quality its resonable for it small size.

A good choice for camping
This is a good choice for a projector to take camping or use outdoors . We searched for ages trying to find a projector that had high lumens and a battery plus keystone correction . Often these features only come with more expensive models . This projector is not much bigger than the palm of your hand and it comes with a tripod stand remote control and charging wire , all of which is in a very neat little bag . The tripod is a bit flimsy and when it has the cord coming out of the back it can easily tip over but we remedy this with a bit of Blu-Tack . It is relatively easy to set up although it did take a little while to work out how to use it with an additional speaker which you will need . The sound quality is the only downside but it is easily remedied with a small Bluetooth speaker . The picture quality is really good . Overall we are really pleased with this projector and I donโt think it can be beaten on price .

Ion Battery
Like this wee projector . Easy to use ,multiple connections and well made. If you like gadgets this is a great wee addition to your collection. I rarely used it but when I went to use it recently the battery wouldnt charge and the adapter didnt power the projector. I contacted the company to see if I could purchase a replacement battery but heard nothing back. Since then I have realised that the charger was faulty and powers the projector but still not holding charge. My fault I suppose for leaving it so long inactive. Overall a good buy.

elephas dlp projector
had this projector for a week now and I have watched about 20 3d movies. the projector its self is brilliant I have No problem with the sound the projector is not going to give you a picture like a 4k tv But it does give a perfect picture. I have it set up in my bedroom it displays very well when watching a movie and does not Light up the room it gives you that cinema feeling. it has youtube built-in but it is not a Uk version but I did not buy this for youtube I brought it to play Blurays/3d movies I have my BluRay 3d player+ android box and amazon stick running through it via a 6 slot HDMI box and it all works perfectly. the projector is not noisy and I have had it running 10 hours a day Not once has it overheated or errored you have all settings to adjust brightness contrast sharpness colour and has preset equalizer wich is nice. this projector does need a darkish room the darker the better the display perfect little device to go with the entertainment gadgets I have 1080p/3d 43-inch tv a 50-inch ultra HD tv I have a projector 4 xs the price of this my partner prefers to use this projector out of them all as it is not hurtful on the eyes and does not make the bedroom light up like heaven when she is sleeping and I can watch my movies with my headphones on without complaints :) there are reviews on youtube and you can see it working there Just don't expect a 4k picture this is 1080p and that res also drop s if in 3d mode but my 1080p 3d tv does the same . I hope this review helps you I feel this projector for the price is worth 5 stars it gives a nice soft/warm display easy to set up built-in battery so you can watch a movie outside can also run off a USB power pack I have only used this device indoors myself but I would recommend if you are to buy this to watch a movie outside Get your self a Good Speaker as the volume on the projector speaker is not that powerful I use an LG PK5 speaker I also use a projector screen all these can be purchased from amazon
