Heyup Boxe Lite Smart Projector

The HeyUp Boxe lite is a good addition to people’s home media, providing a nice picture and a small form factor.

The whole body is made of sturdy plastic which feels of a high quality and the most important part is that I feature a ¾ inch thread at the bottom so that it can be easily mounted to a tripod.

At back top side you can find all the ports, which in this case are:

1. HDMI

2. USB Type-A

3. 3.5 mm jack

I feel that these are more than enough as you can plug in your pc/laptop via an HDMI cable (not provided) or transfer some media to a USB drive and use it on the go.

At the top of the Boxe are the power button and the focus adjustment ring, which rotates easily and without any hustle needed. Finally, is the front of the device, where you can see the big lens and the IR receiver.

Overall, the design is modern, clean and what I love most is the compact form factor that makes the Boxe easy to carry or store.

The HeyUp Boxe Lite relies on external power only and it comes with a provided power cable. Unfortunately, this device cannot work with an external source like a power bank, using a USB cable, but you can use it with an external battery with AC/DC outlet, but this makes the set even heavier.

I assume that the Boxe Lite is made to be used in home or the garden, gathering friends and enjoying some movies or sports events, where power outlet is present, so for me, it’s a no-no for camping.

One of the best features of the Boxe Lite is that it features built-in…

Below is my review of the product ‘Heyup Boxe Lite Smart projector’. I start by saying that the shipping was perfect both in terms of timing and packaging. The outer box is of good quality and I also appreciate the coloured holographic stamped on the cardboard which makes it unique. The quality of the outer plastic is excellent, it has all the characteristics to withstand shocks, the ease of use of the remote control is also positive. Since it arrived I have kept it on every day to test the resistance of the LED lamp, using it for about 5 hours a day, maintaining a stable temperature between 50-60 degrees celsius, thanks to a fan placed on the side of the projector, which is not very noisy. I find the possibility of adjusting the viewing angle according to the type of mounting performed very useful. The audio quality for sound diffusion is sufficient enough to listen to television conversations or music, the important thing is that there is not a lot of noise inside the room, it is a pity that the low frequency of the sound emitted is poor and during an action film the sound may not make the action perfect, calculating that the extension of the screen is excellent, I would advise to overlook this inconvenience, always connect it to an external audio source (home theatre or speakers). It is precisely the screen mentioned above that I praise as a strong point of this device, it has a very high image aperture away from the white screen, allowing it to be used even in very large…

The Heyup Boxe Lite is a compact projector that aims to offer a decent viewing experience at an affordable price. Although it doesn't boast cutting-edge specs, it brings some notable improvements over its predecessor (despite the fact that it is actually its "Lite" version).

*Packaging and build quality*

The packaging of the Heyup Boxe Lite is straightforward and economical, lacking the premium feel of more expensive models. However, it includes all the essentials: a European power adapter, a basic remote, and a manual in English and Chinese. Unlike its predecessor, it does not include batteries for the remote, so be prepared with two AAA batteries.

The projector itself is slightly larger but lighter than the first edition. Its all-plastic build doesn't scream high-end, but it feels solid and aesthetically pleasing (more "serious" than the previous version). The design is practical, featuring a fabric front cover for better heat dissipation and compatibility with any standard camera tripod, making setup versatile.

*Setup and usability*

Setting up the Heyup Boxe Lite is quick and intuitive. Within minutes, it's ready to use without needing a computer connection. The only physical button on the unit is the power button; all other controls require the remote, which is less elegant than the one from the previous edition but functional.

*Display performance*

The Heyup Boxe Lite delivers a native resolution of 720p with support for 1080p decoding, offering a brightness of 150…

Design

The Heyup Boxe Lite stands out for its compact and minimalist design. With a rectangular structure and rounded corners, this projector is easy to transport and fits well in any environment, from a living room to a bedroom. Its matte finish gives it a modern touch and prevents fingerprints. The layout of its controls is intuitive, facilitating access to the main buttons and connection ports.

Features

It offers a native resolution of 720p, with support for content up to 1080p. It incorporates an Android 9 operating system, allowing the installation of applications. However, being an outdated operating system, the main streaming apps cannot be installed easily, which is the projector's weakest point. Additionally, it features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, multiple ports (HDMI, USB, and an audio jack), and an integrated speaker that, while not high-fidelity, fulfills its basic function.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Boxe Lite delivers a sharp image and vivid colors, suitable for watching movies and series in dark rooms. The automatic and manual keystone correction makes image setup easy on various surfaces. However, its brightness of 150 ANSI lumens limits its use in environments with much ambient light. The operating system's fluidity is adequate for most applications, although it may show some slowness with more intensive tasks due to its only 1GB of RAM. This issue can be resolved by connecting an external system, such as a computer or video game…
