Lately, we are seeing quite a few cheap Android projectors with minimally decent specs, and today we discover the HONGTOP S30 and HONGTOP S30 MAX.
Two compact projectors that already arrive with FULL HD native resolution and a brightness of 400 ANSI Lumens, which is it being minimally true is quite good for projectors in its price range. In both variants of this projector we have Android as the operating system, so in addition to being able to install apps of all kinds, we will not have problems with video formats, something common in projectors with other systems.
Interesting projectors, a little above the C6 that we saw a few days ago, but with slightly lower performance.
