Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air: was £550 now £380 at Amazon

The Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air proves that sometimes a little goes a long, long way. Thanks to its miniature size, it's ultra-portable, which is great for those outdoor or indoor movie nights. And despite its size, it still delivers punchy pictures and sound worth talking about.

The Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air is a projector that'll give you a fuss-free set-up – and that's down to the fact it's entirely self-contained, meaning you get your built-in battery, speakers and wi-fi all in one place.

And as portable projectors go, the picture you get from the Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air is impressive. It's sharp, detailed, with convincing colours and generally decent black levels, thanks in part to the LED-lit DLP with a claimed peak brightness of 400 ANSI Lumens.

But, while its maximum picture size is a massive 150 inches, we did find that this full size lost some of its brightness during testing. Instead, we opted for an image size of between 70 and 90 inches to get us the best balance of brightness and scale.

Still, we said: "The Mars 3 Air's pictures comfortable outgun those of most portable rivals in pretty much every department."

Sonically, the Mars 3 Air has built-in speakers that we praised for bucking the usual trend of portable projectors suffering on sound. Instead, our expert testers said the Mars 3 Air's 2 x 8W speaker set-up are "surprisingly good".

In an ideal world, the Mars 3 Air's sound would push a bit louder, and its bass would join the rest of the soundstage in escaping fairly freely from the projector's bodywork, we conceded that these were "fairly small complaints that don't stop the Mars 3 Air from being a surprisingly satisfying all-in-one AV solution".

And its portability and convenience are the main reason we voted the Mars 3 Air as the best wireless pick of all the outdoor projectors we've tested. Helped along by the fact there's a built-in Google TV operating system that's packed with all the popular video streaming apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Disney+, so you can easily watch your favourite shows and movies.

Not forgetting the provision for external sources with a single HDMI port, a USB port and integrated Bluetooth, wi-fi and Chromecast support to make it easy to cast content from a phone or laptop.

One important feature of a truly portable projector though is its battery life. And for the Mars 3 Air, you're looking at 2.5 hours of mains-free movie playback (depending on how bright you set your picture and how loud you run your speakers).

So, if you're looking for a projector that's affordable, compact, feature-packed and just about bright enough to be used outside, look no further than the Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air for just £380 at Amazon.
