I'm considering the Philips PicoPix Max Projector and would love your thoughts on a few aspects. First off, how's the picture quality? I'm hoping for vibrant colors and clarity, especially when projecting up to 120". Also, what about the sound quality? Are the built-in stereo speakers sufficient, or do I need to invest in external sound options for a better experience?

I've seen it has Android 9, which is a plus, but how does the system perform in terms of apps and usability? Lastly, are there any potential downsides I should be aware of, like battery life or connectivity issues? Your insights would really help me make an informed decision! Thanks!
