Verdict

The Anker Nebula P1i is a 1080p Full HD smart projector featuring a unique 'flippable' speaker design with dual 10W Dolby Audio units that rotate up to 200° vertically and 90° horizontally to direct sound. It delivers 380 ANSI lumens of brightness through an all-glass lens and fully sealed optical engine, supporting a projection size of up to 150 inches with a 1.25:1 throw ratio. Running on Google TV with official Netflix certification, it simplifies setup via Intelligent Environment Adaptation (IEA) 3.0, which includes autofocus, auto-keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and screen fit. Main pros include its highly adjustable audio, integrated smart platform, and effortless automated image alignment. However, notable cons include its limited brightness that requires a dark room for clear viewing and the lack of a built-in battery, requiring a constant AC power connection for operation.
