Anker’s Nebula P1 projector is the portable sound king

Key Points:

• The Anker Soundcore Nebula P1 is a portable Google TV projector that emphasizes sound quality with detachable 10W speakers for true left- and right-channel separation, offering better audio than many all-in-one portable projectors.
• It delivers a 1080p image with 650 ANSI lumens brightness, suitable for dark or dim environments but not ideal for well-lit rooms; it lacks a built-in battery, requiring constant power from an outlet or large USB-C battery.
• The projector includes Google TV with official Netflix support, a tilting stand for flexible placement, and can double as a Bluetooth speaker, but suffers from poor screen detection, obstacle avoidance, and a bulky tilt mechanism.
• The detachable speakers provide a wide, immersive soundscape with IP54 resistance, lasting about 20 hours on a charge, while the projector itself is quiet and has an IP33 rating for light rain protection.
• Despite its sound advantages, the P1's lack of portability compared to competitors like the TCL PlayCube, which includes a built-in battery and similar features, may limit its appeal for users prioritizing true portability.
