Third-party reviews

What customers like about Magcubic HY300 Pro+

  • At 0.35 kg it is easy to carry in a bag.
  • Manual focus lets you sharpen the picture by hand.
  • 25 dB noise level is quiet enough for a bedroom.
  • A 0.6 m minimum throw suits small rooms.
  • Android OS gives access to streaming apps on the projector.
  • It works when mounted on a ceiling.

What customers don't like about Magcubic HY300 Pro+

  • 290 ANSI lumens needs a dark room.
  • The 1280x720 picture is softer than full HD on the same screen.
  • The largest picture is 135 inch.
  • Keystone correction reaches only 15 degrees.
  • Its 5 W speaker is modest and not stereo.

Verdict

A 0.35 kg body and a 0.6 m minimum throw make the Magcubic HY300 Pro+ a compact pick for tight rooms. Manual focus lets you sharpen the picture by hand, and Android OS brings streaming apps onto the projector itself. At 25 dB it is quiet enough for use at night, and AirPlay keeps phone streaming simple. The trade-off is the picture. It uses 1280x720 with 290 ANSI lumens, so it needs a dark room, and the largest image is 135 inch. Keystone correction reaches only 15 degrees, so it must sit almost square to the screen. Its 5 W speaker is modest and not stereo. It suits a buyer who wants a tiny projector for a dark bedroom and does not need a big or bright picture.
