Pocket and smart projectors are finding their niche with users who need large screen real estate but are always on the go. Without being as heavy or as bulky as a standard projector, smart projectors offer many of the same features as standard projectors without compromising too much on image quality, with some models that support upscaling to high resolutions such as 1080p and even 4K.

There is a smart projector geared for every requirement – most aim to meet the needs of professionals who move from office to office giving presentations or students who use them for education and entertainment. For these users, a built-in operating system that can read various media files such as videos, music and presentations is an attractive feature, as it eliminates the need for extra wires connecting an external device to the projector.
