DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the Heyup Boxe’s size, this portable 1080p mini smart projector comes at a very compact size, making it fairly easy for you to easily fit it inside a backpack, bag, purse, etc. Not only that, but the device itself is also quite lightweight, weighing just 2.73 lbs. (1.24 kg), and obviously, that will also help when it comes to transporting the projector around with the rest of your personal belongings.
Then, for its aesthetics, this portable 1080p mini smart projector features a very delicate design, coming in a gentle and sun-bright yellow casing that features smooth curves throughout its whole body, which ultimately give it a minimalist, yet ultra-modern look.
It’s also worth to mention that this portable mini smart projector features a very durable construction, with all of its components coming integrated safely inside its dust-insulated design. This dust-insulated design not only helps to prevent any potentially harmful particles (like dust carried in the air) from entering the projector itself, but also keeps its video-lens completely insulated and perfectly protected from dust.
Now, moving on to the projector’s main components. Speaking of its video-lens, the Heyup Boxe comes equipped with a built-in Advanced LED Light that’s used for the projector’s illumination and brightness. Moreover, it’s specifically thanks to its dust-insulated design that the projector’s built-in Advanced LED Light has an amazing lifespan of around 25,000 hours.
It’s also worth noting that the projector’s Advanced LED Light was designed with its users’ eye comfort in mind, as this Advanced LED Light works based on low-light diffusion methods in order to smoothly diffuse any brightness when having the projector casting its stunning image, all this ultimately helps to ensure that your eyes are given a gentler and more relaxed viewing-experience.
On top of its LED Light, this portable 1080p mini smart projector also comes equipped with a set of two (x2) Customized Guide Tube Cavity 3W Bluetooth Speakers (found at the side’s of the unit) that are capable of producing an outstanding audio-quality for a truly immersive listening experience.
Basically, the projector’s two Customized Guide Tube Cavity 3W Speakers are powered by an innovative Audio Technology called Dolby DD+ (Dolby Digital Plus), which is a special audio technology based on Dolby Digital 5.1 that’s now used as the new standard for cinema, broadcast, and even home theater surround sound.
As such, the projector’s two 3W Bluetooth Speakers are designed to work together as an innovative sound system that can ultimately deliver Stereo Surround Sound with a vibrant bass and incredible sound quality overall, which is dynamic enough to bring you a fully-immersive 360-Degrees Surround Sound, just like you’d be able to experience in a cinema-room (in this case, at a slightly lower volume-level, of course).
Additionally, the Heyup Boxe also integrates Ultra-Quiet Cooling fans that operate at a very minimal noise-level of just 30 dB. Thanks to this smart integration, you’re guaranteed to be able to enjoy all the different sound effects of your content (both low and high sound effects) without ever listening to the Heyup Boxe’s fans working in the background.
Finally, this portable smart projector also boats 2GB of RAM (2GB DDR) and even has a total of 8GB of Storage Space. All of its video-playing capabilities are powered by a really powerful Amlogic T972 chip, which, in fact, is the same type of chip that’s frequently used on Smart TVs.
DISPLAY SPECS, PICTURE QUALITY & SMART VIDEO FUNCTIONS
We’ll now talk a bit about the picture quality that you can get from using this portable 1080p mini smart projector. As mentioned earlier, this portable smart projector is capable of playing video at a Native 1080p Full HD resolution. Nevertheless, for any movie lovers that really want to have the ultimate viewing experience with an outstanding video quality – meaning just like you would on a true cinema – you’ll be glad to know that this projector also supports 4K video-playback.
As such, the Heyup Boxe can display all of your content either at a Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p Full HD quality), or alternatively, at a Maximum Resolution of 3840 x 2160 (meaning at a 4K-quality).
Then, for its picture-specs, this portable smart projector can display your video at a 16:9 Aspect Ratio, while also featuring a Throw Ratio of (1.34:1) and a Refresh Rate of 60Hz.
Moreover, and as stated before, you can actually use this high-end portable smart projector for big-screen projections, as the Boxe can be used for displaying a screen-size picture of at least 40-inches, but ultimately, can be adjusted to cast a stunning image into a giant 120-inch screen size, all while delivering fantastic cinematic-quality visuals with excellent contrast ratio, impressive brightness and accurate colors.
Speaking of its brightness levels, its also worth noting that the projector’s built-in Advanced LED Light can ultimately achieve a brightness-level of 150 ANSI Lumens.
Best of all, this portable 1080p mini smart projector also features support to Keystone Correction, which is a very essential image-adjustments feature that comes with several different adjustment options for quick screen adjustments, fine-tuning, and screen-resetting.
Thanks to its support to 4-point Keystone Correction, the Boxe can be set to work at many different projection scenarios. In other words, not only can users easily correct the Boxe’s image angles, but they can also adjust its image corners, as well as grow and shrink the projector’s produced image manually.
All and all, its support to Keystone Correction Adjustments is exactly what allows the Heyup Boxe to achieve the perfect picture, anywhere, and without any limitations whatsoever.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
Now, for the projector’s interface, the Boxe features a very simple and extremely user-friendly interface with multiple input options.
Going from left to right, we have the projector’s dedicated On & Off Power Button, followed by a USB-C port and a USB-A 2.0 port, which are then followed by a HDMI port that makes this projector great both for indoors as well as outdoors entertainment, and finally, by a 3.5mm Audio Jack port that you can use for connection a pair of headphones if you prefer to listen to your content’s audio through those.
I’d also like to point out that right at the top-side of the projector, we have a built-in Focus Wheel that can be used to manually adjust the projector’s Focusing Distance, with a minimum effective focusing distance of 3.93 ft. (1.2 m).
THE REMOTE CONTROL

CONNECTIVITY
For its connectivity, the Heyup Boxe features support both to Bluetooth as well as to WI-Fi (working both for 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks).
As stated before, its thanks to the projector’s Android-based operating system FengOS that this portable 1080p mini smart projector can be used for Screen Mirroring, and this can be done either from iOS Smartphone, or alternatively, from an Android Smartphones.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Last but not least, since the Boxe is in fact designed to work as a portable 1080p mini smart projector, it also comes equipped with a built-in 7800 mAh Rechargeable Battery that can ultimately offer you up to 90 minutes of battery life / runtime.
For watching any type of video-content that’s longer than 90 minutes of playtime, you can always have the projector playing your content while having it directly connected to its included Power Adapter.
This included Power Adapter is also what is used to recharge the projector’s internal battery by connecting its USB-C cable-end to the projector’s USB-C port. When recharging its battery, it should only take you a couple of hours to have its battery go back from 0% back to a full-charge (100% power).
