Electric FocusMini Portable Projector with 4K Support - Compact 260

In this review of the Electric FocusMini Portable Projector HY300 PLUS, the bottom line is simple: this is a compact, flexible projector for home cinema fans and casual presenters who want a bright, feature rich device without a lot of setup fuss. The HY300 PLUS delivers a clear advantage in versatility with its Android TV 11 platform and motorised focus, while 260 ANSI lumens and a 5W sound base make it an all in one option for living rooms, bedrooms, and small meeting spaces.

Key Features

• Android TV 11: Built in smart platform gives direct access to major streaming apps and a large library of content without needing an external player.
• 260 ANSI lumens: Brighter image than the previous model, allowing usable picture quality in rooms with moderate ambient light.
• Motorised focus and TOF laser: Precise, quick focusing is provided by the new motorised focus function and TOF laser focus for a sharp image.
• 210 degree rotation and short throw: The swivel bracket and short focus lens project a 100 in screen from about 2m and enable projection onto walls, ceilings, or floors.
• 5W sound base and DSP: Upgraded built in sound with a DSP audio processor and night cinema mode offers fuller audio for movies and late night viewing.
• Connectivity and cooling: HDMI 2.1, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 5.4 and WiFi 6 with an improved turbo dual air duct keep ports modern and operating noise low.

Who It's For

The HY300 PLUS suits home theater enthusiasts who want a compact projector that can run apps natively and produce a large screen without a separate streaming stick, and for small business users who need a portable unit with HDMI 2.1 and screen casting options. Its multi angle projection makes it useful for creative spaces and teachers who use ceiling or floor projection.

Those who need cinema grade brightness for brightly lit auditoriums, a true native 4K projector, or large venue sound should look elsewhere; this model is optimised for small to medium rooms, everyday streaming, and flexible placement rather than professional venue installs.

Pros & Cons
