HY300 Android 5G Wifi Smart Portable Projector PROJ-WO-87-AN Review
The HY300 Android 5G Wifi Smart Portable Projector (model number PROJ-WO-87-AN) promises a lot: portability, smart features, and a decent picture quality. But does it deliver on its promises? I spent several weeks testing this mini projector in various settings – from my living room to a dimly lit office – to find out.
The HY300 boasts a compelling feature set. Its compact design and 180-degree rotating stand make it incredibly versatile. The ability to project onto almost any surface with ease is a huge plus. The 5G WiFi is noticeably faster than previous generation WiFi projectors, ensuring smooth streaming without lag. The automatic keystone correction is a welcome feature, simplifying setup considerably. The inclusion of multiple ports (HDMI, USB, Audio) adds flexibility, allowing connection to a wide range of devices.

The 1280x720P resolution is acceptable for its size and price point. While not true 4K, it produces a surprisingly sharp image in darker environments. The colors are vibrant, though they could be slightly more accurate in brighter scenes. The 5G WiFi performed flawlessly, streaming 1080p content without noticeable buffering. The built-in speakers are adequate for casual viewing, but for a more immersive experience, external speakers are recommended. The manual focus is precise, but could benefit from a slightly more refined mechanism. The automatic keystone correction worked well most of the time, but occasionally required slight manual adjustments.
In brighter rooms, the image washed out significantly, making it unsuitable for daytime use unless you completely darken the room. The claimed 2000-3000 hour lamp life is a definite plus, offering longer term value.
Pros:
- Compact and portable design
- Fast 5G WiFi connectivity
- Versatile 180-degree rotating stand
- Good image quality in dark environments
- Multiple connectivity options
- Automatic keystone correction
- Long lamp life
Cons:
- Image quality suffers in bright rooms
- Built-in speakers could be better
- Manual focus could be improved
- Occasional issues with automatic keystone correction
The HY300 PROJ-WO-87-AN offers a compelling balance of features, portability, and performance for its price. While it’s not perfect, and some improvements could be made (particularly to the brightness and speaker quality), it’s a solid choice for those seeking a versatile and convenient mini projector for home entertainment or casual presentations in dimly lit spaces. I would recommend it for those who prioritize portability and ease of use.
