Lastly, Lenovo’s “smartphone crossover device” – the Lenovo Pocket Projector – is claimed to be the first portable standalone projector that is compatible with any Miracast or DLNA-enabled Android, Windows 8.1 or iOS device.
The Lenovo Pocket Projector comes with a 50-lumens high-contrast display that according to company can be projected at up to 110-inches on screen/ wall/ roof. It includes a 90-degree hinge, up to 2.5 hours of battery life, and a microSD card (up to 32GB) expandability option.
“Simply snap on the projector to a compatible Android device, and it immediately supersizes movies, photos or even business presentations by projecting them up to 110-in on any wall or surface in low-light conditions. With a 50-lumen high contrast optical engine, the projector displays colourful, vivid and bright images, and it automatically corrects for distortion while allowing users to rotate up to 90 degrees for the best views. This portable projector casts powerful sound, too, with its dual speakers,” says Lenovo.
