OVERVIEW
The AAXA P8 is a portable DLP projector with a native resolution of 960×540 (qHD) — a choice that limits image sharpness compared to higher-res models. It uses a solid-state LED light source from Luminus Devices, rated at 430 LED lumens. However, the actual ANSI lumens will likely be lower. The LED is durable and designed to last up to 30,000 hours.
Running on Android 10.0, the P8 lets you stream videos, mirror your smartphone (wired or wireless), edit documents, and connect via Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz) and Bluetooth.
It has a 2000:1 contrast ratio, a built-in 2-watt speaker, and supports HDMI, USB-C, USB drives, TF cards, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It can play videos, music, and photos directly—no extra devices needed.
Weighing only 8.8 ounces and measuring 3.9” x 3.4” x 1.4”, the P8 truly fits in your pocket. It’s ideal for students, kids, or on-the-go presentations—as long as you’re okay with the lower resolution. That said, there may be better options for most users unless you specifically need something this small.
