FEARWIKY Mini Projector Review: A Smart Projector That Won't Break the Bank?

Searching for a cheap budget smart projector often feels like a game of compromises. You want portability, maybe decent picture quality, but you usually have to give up smart features like built-in apps or easy wireless connections. That often means juggling extra streaming sticks and cables.

But what if you didn't have to compromise quite so much? The FEARWIKY Mini Projector (which looks a lot like models from Tecaki Buy Tecaki and Maypug Buy Maypug) throws its hat into the ring, aiming to be the budget smart projector solution. It packs in WiFi 6 and Bluetooth, a built-in app store (hello, Netflix!), a solid 720p projector native resolution, and a handy 180° rotating projector stand – often for around $60-$70 after coupons.

Sounds too good to be true? Let's dive into this FEARWIKY Mini Projector review and see if it actually delivers an all-in-one entertainment package on a budget.

Smart Features on a Budget: The Big Draw

What makes this portable projector stand out is its brain. Unlike basic models, it runs a version of Android OS, making it a true Android projector.

• Built-in Apps (No Stick Needed?): It comes with a "TV Store" and, according to users, access to the Google Play Store. This means you can install apps like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, etc., directly onto the projector. This is a huge convenience factor, potentially saving you the cost and hassle of a separate Fire Stick or Roku. Users confirm it works well for streaming.

• WiFi 6 & Bluetooth: Having a projector with WiFi and Bluetooth built-in is key. WiFi 6 allows for smoother streaming from the built-in apps, while Bluetooth lets you easily connect external speakers or headphones for better sound (though the built-in speaker volume is reportedly decent).
• Phone Mirroring (With Caveats): It supports AirPlay and Miracast for screen mirroring. However, like most projectors (especially budget ones), mirroring streamed video content from your phone (like Netflix) often doesn't work due to copyright protection. It's better for photos or static content. Use the built-in apps or HDMI for reliable video. (Need help? See our phone connection guide).

Picture, Sound, and Setup: How Does it Stack Up?

• Image Quality (Native 720p): FEARWIKY is clear that this is a 720p projector natively (1280x720 pixels), although it can accept 1080p or even 4K signals and downscale them. Users generally find the picture quality "pretty good" or "clear" for the price, especially in dark rooms. Don't expect razor-sharp 4K, but it's perfectly watchable for movies and shows. Some edge softness might occur at larger screen sizes. Focus is adjusted manually with a dial.

• Setup Flexibility: The integrated 180° rotating projector stand is a big plus, making it easy to aim at a wall or even the ceiling without needing extra mounts. The auto keystone correction (adjusting the image shape vertically) is also appreciated, though manual fine-tuning might still be needed for a perfect rectangle. Its short throw ratio (0.9:1) means you can get a relatively large image even in smaller rooms.

• Connectivity: Good range of ports including HDMI, USB, Type-C (check if it supports video/power delivery), and an audio out jack.
