Soundcore Nebula P1 Projector Review: Portable but Compromised

Anker's Soundcore Nebula P1 is a compact portable projector weighing 5.3 pounds, measuring 11 inches tall and 5 inches wide, with an IP33 splash resistance rating and two wireless speakers. Priced at $800, it offers 1080p resolution, 650 ANSI lumens brightness, and a 400:1 contrast ratio. The projector runs on Google TV, includes auto keystone and autofocus, and has a 130-degree rotating lens. During testing, picture quality was mediocre with grainy resolution and poor contrast, though outdoor projection at 200 inches was impressive. Audio from the wireless speakers lacked depth for movies and games. The device lacks 4K, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos support, and screen mirroring from phones is restricted by DRM. Anker also offers higher-end models Nebula X1 ($2,799) and X1 Pro ($4,999) with 3,500 lumens and 5,000:1 contrast. The P1 is recommended for those prioritizing portability over performance.
