Upon unboxing the projector, I was pleasantly surprised by its lightweight design and compact size, making it quite portable. The overall build feels decent, and it's stylish enough for my living space. However, I did find the placement of the power supply a bit awkward, as it sits right next to the arm.

Viewing Experience
Magcubic Mini Projector:
The viewing experience was overall quite satisfying. The video quality is impressive for the price, filling the majority of my bedroom wall even at the lowest setting. However, I did experience some lag when mirroring my phone, which was frustrating, especially when the picture occasionally froze while the audio continued playing. I found that the projector performed best in darkened rooms, as the brightness and sharpness could use some improvement, particularly around the edges.AKIYO Smart Projector:
The viewing experience was generally satisfying, especially with the projection quality at 1080p resolution. The image clarity was impressive, particularly in the center of the screen; however, I did find that the edges tended to be a bit blurry, which detracted from the overall experience. The projector’s brightness adjustments were useful, but I found the colors not as vibrant as I had hoped for. Additionally, while it performed admirably for family movie nights, I encountered some issues with streaming services where the interface didn’t allow for a full-screen display from my phone.Salange Smart Projector:
The picture quality is simply stunning, delivering crisp 1080P visuals with support for 4K content, which is perfect for both movies and gaming. The vibrant colors and deep contrast really bring my media to life, making it a joy to watch. Whether indoors or outdoors, the projector maintains clarity and sound quality, providing a captivating viewing experience that has elevated my entertainment nights.Features

System Experience
Magcubic Mini Projector:
Setting up the projector was straightforward, and I had it running within moments. The Android onboard system is an attractive feature, but I encountered a few issues with app connectivity. While I managed to connect to both my Bluetooth speakers without much hassle, the original remote control struggled with some functions, particularly for Netflix, leading me to rely on a Bluetooth mouse for navigation instead.AKIYO Smart Projector:
Setting up the projector was a breeze. I quickly connected it to both my Windows and MacOS laptops without any issues, which was a huge relief. The ease of adjustment for screen size is commendable, especially when I had to move it back to fill my 9’x10’ hitting screen. I appreciated the seamless wireless connection within moments. However, there were some hiccups when trying to connect via my recent model Samsung phone for streaming.Salange Smart Projector:
Setting up the projector was an absolute breeze, thanks to the electric focus and auto keystone correction features. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was able to get everything running.
