The Anker Soundcore Nebula P1 portable projector has dropped to $639 from its usual $799, and price-trackers show this is the lowest it has reached so far. Here, the hinge-based body does most of the heavy lifting—instead of stacking books or adjusting furniture to get the angle right, you tilt the projector head itself until the image lines up with your wall or screen. It sounds simple, but in practice, it makes setup faster and less frustrating, especially in smaller rooms.
The detachable speakers add to that flexible setup. Each one pushes 10W and can be placed closer to where you are sitting, which creates a wider soundstage than you would expect from a compact projector. Around the back, the port selection keeps things simple with HDMI 2.1, USB-A, AUX, and USB-C for power, which is enough for a console, laptop, or streaming stick. The software side runs on Google TV, and the included remote has a built-in microphone along with dedicated buttons for YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video, so jumping between apps feels quick. The bigger limitation is portability. There is no internal battery, so using it outdoors or in a different room means carrying a power source, which takes away some of the convenience the design suggests.
What do you think so far?
As for the picture quality, the 650 ANSI lumen brightness of this projector works best in a dark room, where colors look clean and bright scenes have a decent punch. Turn on the lights, though, and the image starts to lose impact quickly. Also, while the Soundcore Nebula P1 outputs at 1080p using pixel-shifting and looks sharp for most content, fine text and small UI elements can appear slightly rough around the edges. Setup is mostly hands-off, with auto keystone and focus running at startup, but features like screen fitting and obstacle avoidance still depend on the Nebula app instead of happening directly on the device—it gets the job done, though it is not as seamless as fully automatic systems.
