Anker, underneath its Nebula sub-brand, has unveiled the P1i transportable projector designed to be an all-in-one occasion in a field at CES 2026.
Whereas Anker has plenty of choices to get wall-size photos for impromptu movie nights, the P1i has a intelligent trick: The audio system will be folded out 90-degrees, giving it a kind of elephant-ear aesthetic.
The audio system on the P1i not solely fold out, however in addition they rotate as much as 200 levels. So relying the place you are sitting, you may intention them to you. Even higher, if there are folks in entrance and behind the projector, every “ear” will be pivoted independently. This overcomes one of many widespread issues with transportable projectors the place the audio system do not face the place the viewers is sitting. Every speaker has 10 watts of energy, which is analogous to the audio system in different projectors on this value vary.
Inside is Google TV, which suggests it has the complete variations of Netflix and different apps. It has a 1080p decision, however that is high quality for the worth. I took a have a look at the P1i on the present, and whereas not confirmed, the lens seems just like the TCL A1, which suggests there possible is not any upward throw. This implies for a superbly rectangular picture with out utilizing keystone correction, the projector should be the identical peak as the middle of the display screen. Since I assume the P1i will principally be used with a random wall and never a devoted display screen, that is in all probability high quality. There is a small retractable foot on the underside to assist with tilting the entrance of the projector upward.
Brightness is a claimed 380 ANSI lumens, and whereas this is not so much, it must be lots for a TV-size picture.
Anker expects to launch the P1i in early 2026 for round $369.
