After launching the PicoPix Max last year, Philips is expanding the pocket projector line with more affordable devices.
Philips says it focuses on 4 key elements: ease of use from the initial setup, minimal fan noise, a great image, and clear sound. The projector’s UI has been reworked from scratch to deliver an easier-to-use interface. The fan speed is now controlled by a special algorithm made to optimise the speed, reducing the noise by 20% and protect the projector’s core components.
The image and sound have also been fine-tuned by cinema professionals and acoustic engineers to deliver an immersive experience in a small and pocket friendly design.
Philips provided the following product descriptions:

PicoPix Max One

The USB Type-C video port delivers data, audio and video and allows users to connect laptops (Mac and Windows Ready), smartphones or tablets. The projector is rated to last 30,000 hours of use.
