Verdict

The Wanbo Dali 1 is an ultra-portable, budget-friendly smart projector weighing just 0.9kg and featuring a native 720p HD resolution with a brightness of 350 ANSI lumens. Powered by Android 9.0 with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage, it integrates ASA 3.0 technology for fully automatic focus, keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and screen alignment, while dual 5W speakers provide built-in stereo sound. Its main pros include the highly efficient Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, a standalone Bluetooth speaker mode, and a dustproof optical engine that extends lamp life to 20,000 hours. However, cons include limited brightness that requires dark room conditions for best performance, a lack of native Full HD (1080p) resolution, and the absence of some official streaming certifications which may limit high-definition playback on certain apps.
