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 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.

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.

I don’t like that when connecting to phone it will turn off when your phone turns off other then that it’s good quality. I use it for cookie decorating and images are usually pretty clear. If wanting to watch movies though the sound is not good very static

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.

I have been a professional artist since 1981. (That's a long time). I have used a wide variety of different styles and brands of projectors over the years including Artograph. I am a Journeyman sign artist, formerly specializing in highway billboards 14'x48'. I normally paint large canvas. Lately I have been entering wildlife art contests where the format size is 7" x 10". Using any of these other projectors is extremely frustrating to attempt to get the clarity/focus down to that size. Projectors are made to enlarge. THIS IS AMAZING. Pros: I love the option of HDMI or USB. The picture couldn't be clearer. Highly portable. Comes with a mini tripod! BONUS!!! The unboxing was a lot of fun. If you work on a small scale BUY THIS PROJECTOR!! Cons: That remote needs a lot of tweaking. Make the focus digital by remote. This is a very well designed, well thought out projector from the packaging right down to the nuts and bolts of it. Absolutely worth every penny. I am so happy today.

I bought this device for more than a year. I definitely considered this to be one of my best buy for electronic devices at home... and yes I am quite a gadget junky! This projector replace my TV in my bedroom at night as I could project to the ceiling while lying down in my bed. I also take it with me on travel as the size and weight is only slightly bigger than a cell phone. Here are the pros: 1) Very good resolution 2) Reliable 3) Portable - small and light 4) Decent battery life, don't need to keep it connected to power for at least a movie 5) Allows to download more apps based on your preference - netflix, amazon movie, youtube, facebook etc. 6) Even with this small device, it has many different ports especially HDMI and USB 7) Support bluetooth between multiple devices, works well with my iPhone and iPad. Cons: 1) I find the remote not user friendly, so I bluetooth with a mouse and it works perfect. 2) The user interface is simple and can be improved For the RVers... this is perfect!

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.

My biggest complaint is that there is no keystone correction--manual or automatic--when using an HDMI source. And you'll need to use the HDMI source, because the built-in Android system is abysmal. The automatic keystone correction is fantastic, it works like magic. But only when you're using the projector's built-in display features. Whenever you switch to HDMI input, the projector loses all keystone correction and there's no way to set it. The device's built-in Android is wildly out of date and poorly supported. Many major streaming services don't even support it (i.e. their apps aren't available in the play store from this device). The device's built-in wifi is very poor, so even for the apps that do work, like Netflix, I was unable to play anything. It just sat there loading for several minutes before finally giving me an error. A chromecast attached to the device, not more than 3 inches from it, has no problem with the wifi. The remote actually works, which is a nice step up from the previous Akaso projector I'd had, but it's IR and as far as I can tell the receiver is in the back of the device. The picture quality with the built-in stuff is great, sharp and easily legible. But somehow HDMI input is pixelated and small text can be very difficult to read. It doesn't impact the video quality that much (though beware if you like to use small fonts for your captions), but it makes navigating menus in an HDMI device a bit cumbersome (Chromecast w/Google TV, in my case). Overall, I'm just really disappointed with this. If they just had the keystone work on HDMI, I'd give this 4 stars. If they did that and had the HDMI at the same visual quality as the built-in, this would be 5 stars. But as is, it's a $250 disappointment that does its just job just barely well enough that I'm not sufficiently motivated to return it. Beware.
