Why choose a smartphone projector in 2021?
With the evolution of our smartphones, we can use them just as well for work as for playing or relaxing in front of a movie.
The purchase of a smartphone projector allows you to broadcast the image of your mobile on a large external screen.
It allows you to liven up an evening with friends by improvising the broadcasting of video clips or a film in high quality on a white wall or on a suitable canvas.
In a professional setting, a smartphone projector will make it possible to broadcast, simply and quickly, a presentation or a video during a meeting or training.
Compact and easy to use, it will be faster to set up than a device connected to a computer.
How to choose your smartphone video projector?
To define the model that corresponds to your needs, you have to know how you are going to use your new projector? Will it be used in a professional setting or for your leisure? Do you know the distance at which you are going to project the image? It is also necessary to define the diagonal of the image. The most compact and transportable models are more limited in their functions. You will also have to look at the technical sheet. How will you connect your smartphone to the projector? Some projectors offer wireless functions while others require the use of an adapter. The weight is also a criterion to study according to the use that you will make of it. If you have to move it around often, it is better to choose a truly compact and lightweight model.This choice will be made to the detriment of its display capacity and its contrast. It will be necessary to define your degree of requirement on these different points to make the right choice. Finally, its resolution and brightness are also important points to take into account when making your purchase.
