A bargain price for the Magcubic HY450C short-throw projector, an updated version of the best-selling Magcubic HY450 that adds a carrying handle, improvements to the autofocus and lenses, and a few other features. For the price, it’s a good option for casual screenings.
This Android-powered projector features 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, and the Allwinner H716 or H726 quad-core processor—the upgraded version of the Allwinner H713 projector chip we covered in a similar review. The native resolution of this projector remains at 1920 x 1080 pixels; it has a brightness of 900 ANSI lumens and a short throw—at 90 cm from the projection surface, we get a 75-inch screen, though we can achieve screens as large as 150 inches.
The Magcubic HY450C also comes with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, two 5-watt speakers, electronic autofocus, and automatic keystone correction, making it quite feature-rich. You can install all the apps from the Google Play Store, since it runs a version of Android 11 optimized for projectors, and you can control it using the remote control included with the projector, which features a microphone for using Google Assistant.
