preface

Last year, the concept of smart home came into the public's mind, and various smart home products began to rise. Projectors are one of them. However, projectors have always given us images of large size, large size, and inconvenient to move. If we want to play movies through projectors, we also need to connect through computers and other network terminal devices, which is very troublesome. Nowadays, the pursuit of smart products is getting thinner and lighter, and projection products are also joining this trend. This time, PaPa Pocket Cinema, a projection product developed by Beijing Xiaoxiang Fast Running Technology Co., Ltd., will make the projector lighter and lighter. The mini body has won the pursuit of many digital enthusiasts. Let me take a look at this mini projection.

Unpacking and appearance of PaPa

The packing box is very small, about the same size as some mobile phone packing boxes. It can be seen from the packing box that it is small and compact. What on earth it looks like? Let's open the box and see its real body.

At the moment when I pulled the lid up, I felt that the projection was too small. The design of accessories in the packaging box was very compact, which reduced the volume of the packaging box. It really had to make people feel that the packaging design was exquisite

There are not many accessories in the box, such as PaPa host, 5V/2A charging head, charging line, bracket, remote control and instructions. I have to say that these things are so cleverly placed in the small packing box.

The 5V/2A charging head is slightly larger than the ordinary 5V/2A mobile phone charging head. Of course, if the output of the mobile phone charging head is 5V/2A, it can also charge PaPa.

The PaPa bracket is made of hollow aluminum, but it seems to lack weight. If the 240g PaPa projection is solid, it will be better, and the center of gravity will be more stable. The top of the bracket has an adjustment knob, and the PaPa bracket can be easily fixed on it.

The remote control is as mini as PaPa. It has a white shell and black graphic buttons. It is simple and simple, without extra buttons.

When I removed the back cover of the remote control battery, I found that the remote control was not equipped with a 5/7 battery like the remote control I usually see, but a large button battery. There are many types of button batteries, and the button battery of the remote control is CR2032, which can be bought in some grocery stores.  

There are so many accessories mentioned above. Now let's welcome the protagonist, PaPa Projection.

The appearance of PaPa projection is square and upright. The upper and lower white panels plus the middle frame of Tuhaojin are simple and not complicated when placed in front of you. Unlike the projection of various connection line interfaces we usually see, it gives the impression that it is simple to operate and can be used when you get it, reducing the cost of learning and using time for users.

There is no HDMI interface in the PaPa pocket cinema, so it is troublesome to connect to the computer. Although the HDMI interface seems to be less used, it is better than nothing as a projection product.

When I watched the film, there was wind coming out of the heat sink, and no sound. It can be seen that the details here were still well done by Little Elephant Rapid Run Technology. After an hour of use, the body was not obviously hot, and the air out of the heat sink had a good cooling effect. However, the official also took protective measures for the body to be overheated. Once the abnormal air out of the heat sink occurred, To avoid internal circuit burn out, the machine will shut down by itself if it exceeds the specified temperature range, so it will shut down automatically if it is too hot. Finally, check whether the air outlet is blocked by dust or foreign matter.

The following figure shows the PaPa external audio and focus knob. I have to say that the volume of the external audio is very low. Even if the sound is turned to the maximum, I still feel I have no spare power. There is no sense of resistance when adjusting the focus button. It is easy to adjust. So I hope to increase the sense of resistance of the focus button and adjust it slowly to make the projection screen clearer.

For the first time, the official suggested that it should be fully charged until the power light is always on. Here I demonstrate the PaPa touch control panel. The area of several indicator lights is the key to control projection

After talking about the appearance of the PaPa projection, let's compare it to see how small it is and whether it is like the official propaganda of "more than small".

Hold PaPa in your hand. It's the size of a palm. How about it is very small? Generally, the projection is estimated to be seven or eight times the size.  

Since it is called "pocket cinema", can it be put into the pocket? I tried it and put it into the jeans pocket. To be honest, it's just right. It can be seen that the width of the PaPa is just within the width of the pocket. It's not a problem to turn it down if you change it to sweatpants.

After the PaPa is installed on the support, the support can be adjusted at will and the projection angle can be adjusted. However, it should be said that the support mentioned above is light. After the PaPa is installed, it feels a little heavy. If the support is not stable, it is easy to tilt. Press and hold the power key on the touch pad or press the power key on the remote control to turn on the machine, and then you can be ready to watch the movie or TV program you want, which is very convenient.

PaPa detail parameters

PaPa operation interface display

The PaPa projection is installed with Android 4.4.2. The operation interface is the same as the TV box. There is little difference between the two. It is easy to use and operate.

Select the movie through the remote control. If there is an empty mouse, you can select it quickly.

The Grape Game Hall is built in, but only some simple games can be played through the remote control. For highly difficult and complex games, you can choose to use the game controller to try them out, and the game experience is better.

Office is naturally required for office work. Of course, you can choose to upload your office files to the internal storage of PaPa remotely. It is also more convenient to use in meetings

PaPa mobile phone on the same screen

The main function of a projector is the same screen projection display. Here I will demonstrate the same screen effect of mobile phones.

Open the WiFi display function of PaPa under the same network, open the wireless menu of the mobile phone, select the wireless display to search, and the mobile phone screen can be projected through PaPa through pairing, which is very convenient.

However, due to network delay, the pictures projected by the mobile phone through the PaPa are found out to be out of sync after several tests, which is more than 10 seconds slower than the pictures displayed on the mobile phone screen.

PaPa video experience

There are a lot of functional things mentioned above. Now let's see how the actual projection effect of PaPa is. There is no need to show pictures here. We can directly use video to facilitate you to see the actual projection effect (the video is taken with a mobile phone, and the definition is not very good. Especially in the dark environment, when the screen is switched, it will automatically focus for many times, resulting in a poor video viewing experience. Please forgive me), Specific questions will be fed back in the video. (Mobile phone users are recommended to watch it under WiFi network)

Product summary

For a pocket portable projection device, the PaPa pocket projection developed by Beijing Xiaoxiang Kuaibao Technology Co., Ltd. really makes me feel the new change of projection products. The new trend, multi-function, lightweight and convenient, and simple operation are the new direction of future projection products.

PaPa Pocket Cinema is excellent in terms of portability and functional operation, but the product still has many shortcomings. In addition to the above mentioned volume and projection screen brightness problems, it also has a weak endurance. The 3300mAh battery capacity is relatively small, and the 1080p video is almost out of power after two hours of playing, PaPa needs to increase the battery capacity to make up for its battery life. I hope that PaPa pockets can be improved in the next generation of products and show sincerity! PaPa Pocket Cinema is suitable for young people who love playing and watching movies. A portable cinema device is worth having!
