The TCL A1s is an interesting mid-range portable projector that comes with good specs and a neat, fairly minimalist design with a handheld handle that doubles as a kickstand.
A small projector with Android which highlights its great audio system, as it has two speakers of 8 W each and 3 passive radiators with low vibration to have minimal movement in the projected image. It projects image in FullHD quality with a brightness of up to 600 ANSI lumens and to improve it the TCL TrueHue technology engine is used.
The operating system is Google TV 11 that includes the Widevine L1 certificate, it is certified for Netflix and we have Dolby Audio support to not have decoding problems in this type of content. Finally we emphasize that a useful carrying case with shoulder strap is included.
