Anker's new Nebula portable projector has removable wireless speakers, all in a smart lunch-pail-like design

  • Twin 10W Bluetooth speakers with 20h battery
  • 1080p resolution, 180 inches, 650 ANSI lumens
  • $799 (about £600 / AU$1,219), introductory discount available

Anker's new Nebula P1 projector solves an irritating issue with the built-in speakers of portable projectors: the best place to put the projector isn't always the best place to have speakers, especially if you're projecting from a distance.

Here's how the Nebula P1 solves that: its two 10W speakers are detachable, and because they use Bluetooth, you don't need to run any wires anywhere. They run off battery power with a claimed 20 hours of listening time, although the projector itself is mains-powered. Anker recommends its SOLIX power station if you want to take the P1 off-grid.

This isn't the first Anker projector we've seen with pop-out speakers: the X1 Pro has them too. But the P1 is considerably more affordable, with a US price of $799 (about £600 / AU$1,219) before early bird discounts. The X1 Pro is $4K plus.

Anker Nebula P1 projector: key features and specs

The Nebula P1 delivers 1080p full HD resolution and a peak brightness of 650 ANSI lumens from its LED light source, making it better suited to night-time viewing than brightly lit daytime rooms. It's designed to throw images of up to 180 inches in size and delivers a contrast ratio of 400:1.

The P1 features a built-in, dual-arm 130-degree gimbal for easy angle adjustment and stable, shake-free images, and there's the usual autofocus and keystone correction for easy setup. The speakers are IP54 water-resistant and the projector is IP33 rated.

The operating system is Google TV with Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and Prime Video on board and there are HDMI 2.1 (eARC), USB-A, USB-C and Aux out connectors. Including speakers, it weighs 5.3lbs.

The Nebula P1 is available from Anker US now.
