AKASO WT50 Mini Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, 1080P DLP Portable Movie Projector Home and Outdoor, Built-in Battery & Android System, Cookie Projector for iPhone and Phone

I was able to watch two movies on it today. The first was while it was plugged in, and the second was on a full charge. During the first movie, I got a low battery notification, so I plugged in the charger. I wasn’t thrilled that I had to do that, and then I ran into another issue. When I plugged it in, the charging indicator turned blue and then changed to red. The instructions only mention that it turns green when fully charged, they don’t say anything about a red light. I was pretty annoyed because I thought something was wrong with it. Eventually, I decided to test the battery myself. I started a movie and noted the exact time. About an hour in, the low battery message popped up again. I dismissed it and let the movie keep playing while I kept track of the time. To my surprise, it made it through the entire two-hour movie without shutting off. The battery indicator was at its lowest by the end, but I’m happy it lasted that long. We bought this for camping, so honestly, being able to watch one full movie on a charge is more than enough for us. The remote isn’t great, and I probably won’t use it much. Other than that, connecting it to Wi-Fi and signing into my Netflix account was quick and easy. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.

This projector is bright and clear and relatively easy to use. You can't use the remote for all of the functions, sometimes you have to use the touch pad on the projector itself. Overall it is pretty intuitive. The tripod it comes with is complete junk and pointless. I recommend getting a different portable tripod. It would be nice if it came with a soft pouch or some sort of case to make it easier to just toss in my laptop bag. I found a soft pouch from something else I'd gotten and repurposed it. The projector has a dedicated power brick for charging. It doesn't use usb charging as near as I can tell. It works great when you have it plugged in, so you can use it for longer stretches of time than the battery would normally last. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that it comes with a (weak) built-in little speaker, so you don't have to connect it with bluetooth to get sound out of it. While the speaker quality isn't that great, it is handy.

- 1 star due to dishonesty in listing. native is not 1080P. it is Standard Resolution: WVGA 854*480 per their online doc The processor seems slow, things take a bit to load. Be nice if it used USBc for power rather then the special cable. That said it's got a nice picture for it's size

I am VERY impressed with this mini projector! This was a birthday gift for my 12yr old daughter and she uses it to watch movies in her room all the time! Installing it was a bit confusing but we figured it out. The actual installed apps on the projector (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc,.) work very well but we have not been able to download Disney+ to the projector and we can't project it through the Casting app either. The resolution is great, even when there is some lighting. We stretched the image to about 15' diagonal and it was awesome!!! The image did not get distorted. We have been able to connect JBL speakers (through Aux and Bluetooth) for better sound and also connect to the laptop (to play movies we currently have on DVD or Blu-ray). We have to use the laptop because the projector does not pick up the sound from the DVR, which is weird because it does from the laptop with no problem. I looked into it and this seems to be an issue with DVRs and mini projectors. I checked settings but just couldn't get it to work. I am going to try it on my surround system next to see if it works. Maybe its the settings on that specific DVR. Not sure.. My daughter also uses to project images and then paint over them. For example, my son wanted a Lakers Logo in his room. She did that for him. I needed to cut giant letters for a sign, she projected them, traced them and I just cut them. This was very helpful. She really uses it alot. I do recommend it for whoever is planning on getting one 😁. The remote control works well but its a little slow. Its easier and faster to move the settings manually.

Absolutely incredible for the price! Easy setup. Manual focus. Sounds ok, battery last almost 2 hours, gets warm but not hot, always ready when I need it. Never fails.

This is a follow up to my original one star. After some time, the company contacted me and offered to replace the device and two days later, I have a new one! I will be sure not to leave it plugged in when not in use. I use it for art projects mostly and it is the perfect projection device for canvases of all sizes! Even as small as 3x5”. I had not been able to find another one like it. I am delighted! Original review: This was a great projector, small, bright and versatile. However, one day the battery inside expanded, split the case open and made it unusable. Too much money for such a short lived (and dangerous?) device. If you have one, make sure you don’t leave it plugged in unattended.

1 out of 5 stars – So much potential… completely ruined by the interface Let’s start with the good: Manual keystone — one of the best I’ve ever used. Super precise and easy to adjust. Auto keystone, on the other hand… it’s hit or miss (more like 50/50). It only works properly at certain distances, so you’re constantly searching for that sweet spot. Projection quality — decent for the size, and it looks good in a dark room, which is about what you’d expect at this price point. Now for the bad — and it’s a long list. The interface is painfully slow. If you’re buying this for its “smart” features, don’t. The processor inside can barely keep up, and it doesn’t support key apps like Spectrum TV. After spending 20 minutes downloading and another 20 signing in, the app crashed with a nasty error message. The system froze multiple times, and navigating with the remote is awful. The buttons feel cheap, and using the touch controls on the projector itself is useless since it moves the device around while it’s on a tripod. Speaking of the tripod — it’s terrible. If it’s not set up in one very specific way, the entire thing tips over. For $300, you should expect better. I even tried to make it work by plugging in a Roku stick to bypass the clunky interface — but once you do that, manual keystone stops working, forcing you to rely on the auto keystone (which, again, isn’t good). And to top it all off, it doesn’t even have USB-C charging. You can’t use a portable charger — it only charges with the factory adapter. The built-in battery lasts about 1.5 hours, which makes it useless for travel or portable entertainment unless you’re near a wall outlet. After all that tinkering and frustration, I finally gave up, packed it up, and sent it back. The only positive thing I can say is the compact size — but if you’re going to have it plugged in anyway, you’re better off buying a more capable projector. If you just need something for office presentations while traveling, sure — it’ll do the job. But for entertainment? Run away and don’t look back.

I understand that it was not going to be bright when I purchased this unit, but I hoped it would be bright enough to use in a room that wasnt pitch black. The only way this is useable is in perfect darkness. I have given this unit 2 stars because the other features are nice and work well. I am able to wirelessly connect to my cellphone, mirror the screen, and play videos without any wires. That is an awesome feature. The battery is decent, and the touch controls are nice. They just need to double the brightness. I am projecting 4ft away, producing a screen about the size of a 55in tv, and its still hard to see if there is any light pollution in the room. If they were to double the brightness, I would probably rank this a 4 or 5 stars.
