Where are the differences?

The mini projector ZenBeam S1 made by Asus has a few differences compared to the LG PH30JG. Let's have a look at those in detail.

The Asus ZenBeam S1 can run at a maximum of 200 Lumen, which is less than the LG PH30JG runs on. the LG PH30JG's maximum performance are 250 Lumen.

Resolution

Another key consideration when purchasing a mini projector, is its resolution. Some mini projectors support HD, others Full HD, and then there's even True UHD or 4K mini projectors. When it comes to these two, the Asus ZenBeam S1 has a non-standard resolution of 854 x 480. the LG PH30JG on the other hand has HD, at a resolution of 1280 x 720.

Battery

As far as batteries go, we believe that it's very useful for your portable mini projector to have them. Whether you're out with friends or hold a presentation at work: Batteries can't hurt in case you don't have access to a power outlet. As with most portable mini projectors, both products have batteries. You don't need to rely on external power all the time. Let's check out how long the batteries last.

How long does the battery last?

The battery of the ZenBeam S1 lasts for up 300,0 minutes, which is longer than the PH30JG's. This one just lasts for 240,0 minutes. This point goes to the ZenBeam S1. It's important to remember that depending on what you use your projector for, the actual battery time might be a little lower after all.

Sensors

Most of the time, we want to connect our media devices to the Internet for practical reasons, such as watching the latest cat videos! The mini projector scene is catching up to this and some models are already equipped with WiFi functions. In this case, none of the two projectors have an option to connect with the Internet. An alternative could a WiFi Dongle to plug into your USB. Frankly, that's not the best option in our opinion. If having WiFi is important to you, you could check out one of the other products below.
