Hands-on review · Travel pico projector
Verdict
The Vankyo Burger 101 is a 280g projector that suits hotel rooms and phone streaming, but it needs a dark room and shows only 800x480 resolution.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Vankyo Burger 101

  • Extremely compact and travel-friendly design
  • Comes with a high-quality protective carrying case
  • Multiple connectivity options including HDMI, USB, and wireless mirroring
  • Built-in battery allows for use without a power cord
  • Decent picture quality and accurate colors for a 480p pico projector
  • Features like automatic keystone correction and 3D support

What customers don't like about Vankyo Burger 101

  • Low native resolution (480p) compared to standard home projectors
  • Low brightness (roughly 100 ANSI lumens) requires a very dark room
  • Built-in speakers are relatively weak and can be drowned out by fan noise
  • Onboard app selection is limited; often requires an external streaming stick
  • Focus can be difficult to keep uniform across the entire image
  • Manual focus required despite automatic keystone features

Verdict

The Vankyo Burger 101 is a pocket-sized DLP mini projector designed for portability, featuring a compact circular build and a built-in 5,200mAh battery that provides up to 3 hours of wireless playtime. It delivers a native resolution of 854x480 (WVGA) with support for 1080p input, 300 ANSI lumens of brightness, and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio for projections up to 110 inches. Key pros include its highly travel-friendly design, automatic ±40° vertical keystone correction, active 3D support, and versatile connectivity via 5G Wi-Fi, HDMI, and USB. However, primary cons include its relatively low native resolution compared to standard 1080p projectors, a built-in speaker that lacks power for large rooms, and a tendency for images to appear slightly blurry or dim in environments that are not completely darkened.
