Unboxing Experience
Alwtniet Smart Projector:

Its compact size allows it to fit neatly in any media room, while the sleek finish gives it a modern look that can complement various interior styles. I appreciate the thoughtful layout of the buttons and ports, making it easy to access and manage.Magcubic Mini Projector:
The projector has a sleek and lightweight design, making it travel-friendly while still offering a decent size that fits well in my entertainment space. The construction feels reliable, but the placement of the power supply could be improved as it sits close to the arm, which could potentially cause some inconvenience. Overall, it presents a visually appealing look that doesn’t scream “budget,” and I appreciate its compactness.AKIYO Smart Projector:

Its compact size ensures portability, and it comes with a customized carrying case, which is a thoughtful addition that enhances its usability. While it looks nice overall, I did find that the remote control lacks batteries, which is a minor inconvenience, though I had spare ones available.Display

Viewing Experience
Alwtniet Smart Projector:
The viewing experience has been mostly enjoyable, thanks to the projector's bright display and clear images. At a short distance, I was pleasantly surprised by the large screen size it produced. The projector supports native streaming from platforms like YouTube, Disney+, and Netflix, which adds to its versatility. However, I did face some challenges with picture quality—while the brightness is excellent, the resolution is more akin to 720p rather than the promised 1080p. Additionally, it requires a dark environment for optimal viewing, which can limit its usability in brighter settings.Magcubic Mini Projector:
The viewing quality is quite good, especially when projecting onto a wall, which I prefer over a separate screen. The size of the projection is impressive, filling up most of my bedroom wall even at the lowest setting, and the keystone correction works effectively. However, I did notice some lag when mirroring my phone, which caused audio to fall out of sync with the video. The brightness could be enhanced, particularly around the edges, and I found that a darker room yields the best results. Overall, I was satisfied with the clarity and size of the image, especially for casual movie nights.AKIYO Smart Projector:
The viewing experience was generally satisfying, especially with the projector's native 1080P resolution that delivered sharp and vivid images. However, I did notice a disparity in image quality, as it seemed to be clearer in the center and less so at the edges. Even with the brightness turned up to 100%, I found the colors lacked the vibrancy I had hoped for, which was a bit disappointing. For casual movie nights, though, the projector holds up well, especially when projecting onto larger spaces like a 9'x10' screen.Features

Setting up the projector was incredibly straightforward, with Android onboard making navigation easy. However, I encountered some initial difficulties with connectivity, particularly with streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO. After several frustrating hours of trying to log in and troubleshoot, I realized that I might need additional devices, like a Roku stick, to improve performance. The Bluetooth capabilities were also a mixed bag; while I had success connecting to Bluetooth speakers, it took multiple attempts, which added to my setup challenges.AKIYO Smart Projector:
Setting up the projector was a breeze; the straightforward process allowed me to connect it to my Windows and Mac laptops without any issues.
