Its well constructed, and works effectively, letting you set it down and get up and running quickly.
Its not enough to challenge daylight, but itll sizzle at night.
That said, there are considerable differences that make the Nebula Mars 3 stand out.
The Nebula Mars 3 features a sliding lens door and is IPX3 water resistant
This model is built for more of a rough-and-tumble, on-the-go lifestyle.
It features a hardened case that can withstand half-meter drops and has IPX3 water resistance.
The front has a sliding lens cover and the rear includes a rubber cover over the ports.
The Nebula Mars 3’s rear-panel ports cover and flashlight feature
A key part of the portable nature of the Anker Nebula Mars 3 is its ability to operate outdoors.
To help you keep track of power, the handle has a ring of lights that display battery level.
The projector can also double as a Bluetooth speaker or a flashlight.
The Android TV platform is used by the Nebula Mars 3 for streaming
A three-speaker built-in audio system resides near the front.
It also features a quick and effective system for automatically adjusting image focus, keystone, and framing.
Thats about what should be expected from a projector sitting at around $1,000.
A remote control is included, and there are also controls located on the projector’s handle
Ankers battery powered portable has a good-looking picture, but not an exceptional one.
The same is true of its resolution.
Its worth turning off, which results in more natural motion.
The carrying handle control buttons
And the battery makes it worth it.
Anker Nebula Mars 3 review: value
The Anker Nebula Mars 3 is an interesting package.
But its an overall decent projector and a powerful portable one.
The Nebula Mars 3 is quick to set up, and can run for hours at a time.
Should I buy the Anker Nebula Mars 3?
Youre outdoorsy:The Nebula Mars 3 isnt just a projector.
you could even use it as a power source for charging other electronics.
you could easily get a cheaper projector with equivalent picture quality.
You want great built-in sound:The Nebula Mars 3 has some hard limits when it comes to audio.
It has greater portability size-wise, but requires an external battery pack.
Next to the Anker Nebula Mars 3, its kind of a toy projector.
Instead, you get a much higher class of home theater projector.
Its stylish, bright, colorful, and just an altogether more competent machine for more static setups.
The projector was tested both against a bare, white wall and anAkia Screens CineWhite screen.
It was presented with streamed content, both HDR and non-HDR.
I have been testing projectors since 2021 and displays for even longer.
