chris here with a super tiny compact portable laser projector it's from a company called wemax
it is their go advanced 300. now it may be small but it's got a lot of features packed into it
so it has a battery built within it that can run for up to one and a half hours it's using laser
technology projection technology that is from ladp and it does have a maximum of 600 nc lumens
which is brighter than some of the competition out there it has a 4 watt speaker built into it
and some really handy features too so it does have auto keystone correction auto focus and a timer
flight camera that can detect objects that are in the way resize the image but also more importantly
especially if you're a parent like i am if a child walks in front of it or anyone walks in front of
it it can detect that and lower the brightness of the projection there to stop people from damaging
their eyes now be putting it through its paces i'll also connect up a playstation 5 to the hdmi
input see how it handles games and let you know all the pros and cons here of the wemax
go advanced then included inside the box obviously we've got our projector look at how small this is
it is tiny yet 1080p and up to 600 lumens and sea lumens the maximum brightness out of it so the
power supply here very small too which is great to see now this is a type c power supply and it's
65 watts now it does support power delivery so you can use another power supply if you've got a type
c power supply that supports up to 65 watts power delivery it will also work and then our remote
that is all we get with it so the remote doesn't come with any batteries i'll just show you quickly
that you do need to supply two aaa batteries now the height of it just wanted to measure this
out of curiosity you can see it's approximately just over two and a half centimeters the height
so really small really portable easy enough to travel with this and about 22 centimeters
there the length of it that is excellent it is the smallest portable 1080p projector
that i have ever reviewed they're normally quite large quite tall so if you slide this here this is
a cover that goes over where the lens is you slide that back there is actually a little camera right
here so that's used for the object detection so can detect when an object's in the way size down
the image and it does have a auto keystone feature too which is really handy to have so
you don't have to manually keep going through that of course it's good to have on a portable
projector because you're going to be moving it around that's the idea so there are some
sensors right here that is of course the lens there for the laser projector so it is using an
lapd laser in this their laser technology which is good to see and that is a proper 600 ansi lumens
it's not faked so the runtime of this model here it can go for up to one and a half hours that's
the 1080p there which is really good and i'll just flip it around and show you what you have
on the back here for the ports so there is an hdmi input here usb and 3.5 millimeter audio out and
then the type c in there which is as i mentioned before does support power delivery for charging it
on the right side there is a grill here so some air is going to be coming through this and it's
actually blown out the front the little fan that's inside it and so far testing it out
the fan noise is excellent i'll give you a sample in this in-depth review later on
what you can expect out of it but it's quieter than other portable projectors i have reviewed
there is a loudspeaker inside this so there are four loudspeakers on the left there is nothing
just three vents there at the bottom along the top we've got a status led and it does state
their beam into the future so this material they have used here this is a alloy with a
matte paint job to it it tends to pick up a few little fingerprints but overall it's not too bad
the underside there are four little rubber feet that it does sit on and there is this little
stand here so you can prop it up and give yourself maybe a better angle at projecting if you're gonna
be placing this down on a table so what is missing on the underside of it is a little mount point for
mounting this on a tripod now you can actually get a base for this like a stand that you can
then mount it on a tripod but that's an optional extra when you power up the we max go this is the
first menu you're greeted with so it is their own little operating system here the menu so we have
our launcher where you can go ahead and launch various different applications so you see i've got
firefox there youtube you can get some amps and install them but what i've discovered that this
does not have a wide vine level 1 cert so if you install netflix on this it's only going
to be standard definition that goes for amazon prime tv and others unfortunately but we do have
an hdmi input which i'll be testing out later on with actual full hd content with it so we've
got our user manual focus i'll just quickly show you that because this is how it does actually do
its auto focus with the camera you see that it's out of focus and then it just gets it completely
spot-on you can fine-tune that but i find that the way they do focus it it seems to be really
perfect for me and i've had no issues with that you've got your keystone correction so this is
done automatically you can do your own little fine tuning and adjustments but i'm going to leave it
as is here because it's already done that for me and i find it's good now if you do have anything
in the way imagine you've got a bit of a plant in the corner it will actually size down the screen
to fit that in right now what you're looking at is approximately about 110 inches or so that it is
projecting and i'll get onto the the quality of the image soon we've got feedback there
shut down down the bottom we've got bluetooth speaker our input so you can swap over then to
the hdmi in cast projection projection i'll just go into that so we've got android devices
apple and then applications so mirrorcast ios projection and a file manager and our settings so
just run over this very quickly you can see you've got network settings system so they do have some
updates coming and in august we should be able to get with this an android tv update that it will
be running energy saving security about uh sound very very standard there the settings we do have
present for our image here we've got office mode which is the brightest one then there's eco you
can see it just dulls that screen down to save on the lamp in there and of course your eyesight but
also battery too if you're running on the battery it'll be up to about an hour and a half and movie
mode but i'm going to keep it on office that's the brightest and that's the the one i prefer the
colors of so the image parameters there we've got standard movie child mode showing mode sport icare
and then custom you can go and tweak all of those settings in there yourself and the projection
method you can change all of that too as well you've got screen shift screen focus down there
i just use the auto focus obstacle avoidance you can have that on as i mentioned and showed before
and the auto screen align auto calibration and four point keystone correction and automatic
virtual vertical correction too so as soon as it detects that you've moved it or you've
placed it somewhere it's going to set itself up by itself so i won't go really into any more of that
because it's all pretty much self-explanatory there so it's a basic menu system but pretty
much all you'd want with this let's take a look now at the file manager it is now showing all
of the items that are in that usb pendrive that i've plugged into it so i have just some images
image browser this is pretty straightforward here so you can go through and look at all your
different images the speed of it seems to be okay that's just fine but what i do want to look at
is video playback so i'm going to play a couple of files that are quite demanding well the first one
i will check out this is a 1080p clip here which is hevc 10 bit jellyfish sample file
right a couple of stutters there in the beginning but even windows many pcs do that and it's playing
that okay that's fine i'll just go back and we'll take a look now at a 4k one now this is very
demanding 140 megabits per second i don't expect it to be able to play this to decode it fine
oh it can alright so of course it scaled it down and
oh it's dropping just a few frames there so that's not perfect
playback there from it and what about a 4k 60 file this is stepping it up this should probably
be a little bit too demanding all right i can see that that one that's fine too it's able to play it
without dropping any frames and that is of course projecting out at 1080p 60 frames per second
onto the image quality now so this is via youtube i have it set to this 1080p which is
of course all it can project out now the black so i wanted to comment on them that the blacks
are looking quite good i'm not seeing noise that grain that you sometimes get with some
of the projectors i have tested out now that it's loading in that is not a pure black it's looking
a little gray there but there's no noise to it for a 1080p image from a portable projector here
with the maximum brightness of 600 ansi lumens this is looking fairly good now it is of course
with a dark room right now so what i'm projecting is the best possible image quality and to me i i
think this is perfectly acceptable that everyone's gonna be happy for 1080p it's looking good now
when you look at it closer you can see like the individual little tiny squares like the pixels
but from the distance i'm standing which is approximately about uh 15 10 meters away from it
it's looking good but what i'll do now is turn on some ambient lighting and we'll take a look at it
now with one of the shades open so a bit of ambient light coming in i could open up all
the rest of the shades i probably would struggle then to see you can see it's
not looking as good so this projector you definitely want to be watching the content in a
completely pitch black room or as dark as possible so with some ambient light on here at the moment
it's still viewable the experience is still fine but of course it doesn't
look as good now and the 600 ansi lumens is struggling a little bit under these conditions
finally to test out that hdmi input i do have my playstation 5 connected up to it and this
title here is dirt 5. now as soon as i move there to for example the left or the right
i'm not noticing any terrible latency issues so the input lag seems to be fine and i can play
this game without any issues and it really does look good even though it's 1080p 60
this of course projected at an approximate 110 inches is super immersive what about the fan
noise then all of these projectors of course are actively cooled they have little fans in there to
keep the components cool that it doesn't overheat but how loud is it well i can tell you now that
it's great it's very quiet it's a constant fan noise so you barely even hear it if using
the speakers you won't hear it here's a sample of what the fan sounds like just to give you an idea
then the speakers so it's 4 watts and the volume is
fine actually i think it's acceptable for a portable projector but they are definitely flat
they are lacking some bass so here is a sample of what the speakers sound like at 100 volume
all right so to quickly recap here what are the things i like about the wemax go advanced
well it's the size this is the smallest yet that i have covered reviewed for portable projectors
it's crazy thin for a projector and you can easily place this in a bag the other thing i like about
it is that when you power it on you put it down you point it at a wall anywhere it will then
automatically set up the image for you so that is automatic focus it will do the keystone correction
to get the image looking straight that is a very handy feature you don't have to go with the remote
then to manually set the focus to go through the menus to then set up and tweak the keystone there
but of course you can do that if you want to but it's really fast to set up the image quality i
think is good for a portable projector like this considering the size of it it is 600 ansi lumens
maximum brightness the blacks look good colors are fine and overall the image quality if you're in a
a dimly lit room is going to be great now it's 600 ansi lumens it's not a fake 600 nc lumens which is
good but if you have some ambient lights around a bit of sunlight coming through you are going to
struggle a little bit to see it which is normal it has a built-in speaker but it's not amazing
so this is what i get onto now the cons of it it's quite flat but hey it's it's better than
not having any speaker at all you've got a 3.5 millimeter audio out to option or bluetooth
pairing the other is the actual ui now the ui has some limitations you can install netflix on it but
the problem is it is only in standard definition that goes for other streaming services why because
the drm it has is a wide vine level 3 cert it's not wide vine level one unfortunately now they
have told me we max that this will be getting android tv in august so i'm crossing my fingers
they do apply and get that wide vine level one suit it's gonna be an additional cost for them
but it will allow us then to stream up to the full maximum 1080p to get the best image quality
possible so that's the big con for me with a unit like this other than that it's a fantastic little
unit and the fan noise and the thermals also really good you barely hear the fan in it and it
remains at the same constant rpm it's not going to be bothering you if you're listening to something
and using the actual speaker on it then you really don't hear it at all and it seemed to be
just fine for also console gaming if you want to use this maybe going on a trip away somewhere
you want to set it up in your room quickly and plug it into a console you can do it
and i didn't notice any issues at all with the input lag there so there we go that is
the wemax go advanced 300 thank you so much for watching this review
