Overall, I've been impressed with the picture quality and ease of use offered by the projector, as well as it's compact and unobtrusive format. The automatic image correction and focus are generally reliable and function very well for a projector at this price. If the projector is positioned at a significant angle, to the side of the screen/projection surface, there is some "softening" of the image in the upper corner farthest away from the lens. However, this isn't really noticeable in normal use, and positioning the projector more centrally avoids the issue altogether. Similarly, projecting from a significant angle often requires use of the manual correction to ensure the image is fully symmetrical. However, after a little bit of use, making these adjustments becomes second nature and takes only a few seconds. The sound quality of the inbuilt speakers is surprisingly good and loud, again given it's diminutive size. However, using a external speaker setup will significantly enhance the movie viewing experience. The Bluetooth connectivity is excellent, and it unfailingly links to my soundbar upon start-up, and there is no noticeable lag or synchronization problem between the image and sound. Similarly, WiFi connectivity is strong and stable (even though my router is on the other side of the house and on a different floor). Media plays without hiccups from USBs or when input from another device that's connected via HDMI. I don't really cast content from my phone, so can't comment on this aspect of the projector's performance. The inbuilt battery is okay - but watching anything of movie length requires the projector to be set in power saving mode, which significantly dims the image, even in a fairly dark room. At full brightness, you can expect to get through an average episode of a TV show (45-60 minutes) but no more. To get best use out of the projector, it needs to be plugged in to mains power, which obviously limits its portability somewhat. In all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would definitely look to buy a newer model Nebula when I finally want or need an upgrade. Review: Solid portable projector for the price - This was a little bit of a stab in the dark as I was looking for a small portable projector for the bedrooms and the mars 3 air had just come out and had no real reviews yet. I was first tempted by the Samsung Freestyle 2, but a lot of reviewers noted that for its price (~£700) it wasn't that good a projector. IIRC it only goes up to 240 lumens. But it had good apps and connectivity, so it was hard to find something with a similar feature set but cheaper. The Mars 3 was generally recommended as an alternative, but that's a similar price point to the Freestyle for a bulkier, brighter protector that's better for outdoor use, which I don't care about that much. That's where the Mars 3 Air came in - at £450 it's much cheaper than the freestyle, almost twice as bright, and has excellent connectivity and app support, with even native Netflix, which the more expensive Mars did not have. Some things to watch out for - first time set up is a bit slow, confusing and clunky. Google Home setup via the app is pretty okay, but it took a *long* time to download and install firmware updates. Once it was up and running, it still behaved weirdly, e.g. I could not access the settings menu, or sign in to YouTube, or download new apps at all at first. The trick seems to have been to reboot it several more times. Once fully set up it all works as expected. The auto keystone features and auto focus in my experience aren't great - they're a good starting point, but at least in my space, I usually do need to go in and manually adjust them. If this is the case for you, I would recommend turning off auto keystone and auto focus on startup and after movement, so you don't have to recalibrate every time you nudge it or turn it off. Overall though I think it's a really good deal for the price - responsive UI, very solid brightness and colours, great sound. Connectivity and apps all work fantastically, and having Netflix natively on the device is great! You can also Chromecast easily from a laptop or phone. Expect a bit of faff during first time setup, but after that it's a really solid device! ## Features - Take the Big Screen Anywhere: This portable Google TV projector lets you watch all of your favourite content and apps—including Netflix—wherever you are. - Jaw-Dropping Display: Enjoy a truly cinematic experience with rich detail and high clarity thanks to the 1080p HDR display and 400 ANSI Lumens of brightness. - Ultra-Long Playback: Fully charge to enjoy watching up to 2.5 hours of movies and series, or listen to up to 8 hours of music. - Dual 8W Dolby Audio: Delivers immersive sound for movies, and can even function as a portable speaker to pump out the music at a party. - Set Up in Seconds: Our Intelligent Environment Adaptation Technology performs screen fit, auto keystone correction, autofocus, and obstacle avoidance in just 3 seconds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CKHL1VMM | | Antenna Location | use in different locations | | Average Life Span | 30000 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,247 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 28 in Projectors | | Box Contents | Adapter, power cable, quick start guide, 2 AAA batteries, remote control | | Brand | NEBULA | | Brand Name | NEBULA | | Brightness | 400 lumen | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Any device with video output ports or wireless capabilities, such as laptops, smartphones, game consoles or media players with HDMI, USB-A, AUX, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth interfaces. | | Connectivity technology | HDMI , USB, AUX | | Contrast Ratio | 1000:1 | | Control Method | Remote | | Controller Type | App Control, Remote Control | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 388 Reviews | | Display Type | DLP | | Display resolution maximum | 1920 x 1080 | | Display type | DLP | | External Testing Certification | / | | Form Factor | Standard portable projector design | | Hardware Connectivity | Bluetooth 5, USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17.8L x 12.2W x 13.3H centimetres | | Item Weight | 1.7 kg | | Lamp Wattage | 8 Watts | | Manufacturer | Anker | | Manufacturer Part Number | D2325 | | Maximum Display Resolution | 1920 x 1080 | | Maximum Image Size | 150 Inches | | Maximum Throw Distance | 0.8 Metres | | Minimum Image Size | 30 Inches | | Minimum Throw Distance | 3.3 Feet | | Model Name | D2325 | | Model Number | D2325 | | Mounting Type | Floor Mount, Tabletop Mount | | Network Connectivity Technology | HDMI, USB, AUX | | Picture Quality Enhancement Technology | Proprietary Technology | | Product Features | google tv | | Product Warranty | 12 months | | Recommended uses for product | use in different locations | | Special feature | google tv | | UPC | 194644175887 | | Vertical Keystone Correction | 13.3 Centimetres | | Video Encoding | H.264 oder H.265 (HEVC) | | Voltage | 5 Volts | | Wattage | 8 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NEBULA - **Connectivity technology:** HDMI, USB, AUX - **Display resolution maximum:** 1920 x 1080 - **Display type:** DLP - **Form factor:** Standard portable projector design - **Included components:** Adapter, power cable, quick start guide, 2 AAA batteries, remote control - **Mounting type:** Floor Mount, Tabletop Mount - **Product dimensions:** 17.8L x 12.2W x 13.3H centimetres - **Recommended uses for product:** use in different locations - **Special feature:** google tv ## Images ![Nebula Mars 3 Air - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PyErA3hqL.jpg) ![Nebula Mars 3 Air - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nUgsDaT+L.jpg) ![Nebula Mars 3 Air - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y66716oJL.jpg) ![Nebula Mars 3 Air - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fA2xgluQL.jpg) ![Nebula Mars 3 Air - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qpPEK016L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, compact and affordable projector. *by H***S on 6 September 2025* I've had this projector for close to a year, using it on a daily basis for watching TV shows and movies, in tandem with a folding screen and wireless soundbar.
