It’s got a handle, so it counts as “portable”, right? While this technically fits the bill, we know you aren’t exactly going to be straining with this on a camping trip (especially as it lacks a built-in battery and costs about two grand) and the almost 5kg weight makes it far heftier than any other model on our list. Need a tiny projector for a trip or a small room? This works well. It’s not the brightest but has a neat kickstand, can handle several photo and video file types via its HDMI and USB ports, and gives you a decent over two-hour battery life. This one is ideal for presentations, photo slideshows and showing off home movies.

It comes in at just under £150 for the most basic model, and it’s a little more if you want to pick the different variants with wifi and Bluetooth.

So, this is one of two on our list with a sub-HD image, going down to 480p – yes, one of the lowest options on a YouTube video.ĭon’t despair, though, there’s a lot that makes this worthwhile despite the lower picture quality. However, you’ll need to recalibrate your resolution expectations here, as any model tiny enough to fit in your jeans pocket (and that’s lighter than a box of chocolates) comes with an inevitable dip in quality. It’s also the most affordable, and it’s going to be the right pick for a lot of people who need something simple to take on the road. This is a pocket projector (or a micro projector, if you will) and it is by far the smallest and lightest model on our list. We also like that this comes in a couple of different fetching colours (white, beige, pink and green), but we’d skip the protective skins, they’re too tight to get on and off. Samsung offers a list of compatible models, and we’d recommend something like this 60W Anker PD charger that we’ve used for longer trips and laptop recharging on the go. You can link it up with Samsung’s own Freestyle Battery Base (£159) or with a bigger third-party power bank with a minimum of 50W charging speeds.

It’s a bit of a shame that this doesn’t have a built-in battery, which affects how portable it is. The Samsung interface will be familiar to anyone that’s used a smart TV from the brand too. On test, we used it to stream Thor: Love and Thunder via Disney+ and while we had a couple of focusing issues during setup, those were resolved when we stopped trying to make the image smaller (making this a bit more suitable for a larger room or a 100-inch screen). We like its sleek look, and how it supports HDR, delivers 360-degree sound, is compatible with Bixby, Alexa and Google Assistant, and has Samsung’s Tizen smart telly platform.

It’s compact compared to other projectors offering the same 1080p resolution, and we think it’s a versatile package that excels for indoor viewing in darker conditions or as a small model to bring on your travels. The price has dropped, though, and its new RRP is £699 (and we’ve seen it down to £499), making it a much more tempting option that outperforms rivals going for just as much. We’ve got to admit that when Samsung’s Freestyle came out with an almost £1,000 price tag, we weren’t quite convinced that it lived up to that high cost. It’s a bit more expensive than our top pick, but the extra features make it worth it. But this is great as an option for external connectivity with its HDMI and USB ports ( add a streaming stick to sort the Netflix issue), and we love its reliable autofocus and auto-keystone.

It’s a shame that you can’t get Netflix on the otherwise capable Android TV interface, and the audio via Bluetooth doesn’t get all that loud.

It’s also a top pick for outdoor use because it has a handy kickstand and a tripod mount, it can project a bigger Full HD picture than most portable models, and it has some impressive 5W internal speakers that’ll help immerse you in whatever film or show you’re watching. We used it to watch movies both with the curtains drawn and not, and can attest that it gets bright enough to deal with a lot of ambient light. That should be more than enough for a viewing party on a summer night. When on mains power, the Halo+ delivers an impressive 900 lumens, and you’ll still get 600 lumens when it runs on its battery (which will go for a solid two hours, FYI).

When it comes to using a portable projector outdoors, even in the evening light, you’ll want a bit more brightness than many of the models on our list can deliver.
