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 Optoma IntelliGO S1 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. Only the Asus ZenBeam S1 has batteries. This is a major advantage over the Optoma IntelliGO S1, which requires a power outlet close to you.

How long does the battery last?

The battery of the ZenBeam S1 lasts for up 300,0 minutes, which is shorter than the IntelliGO S1's 454,0 minutes. It's notable that battery times can vary depending on what you use your projector for, and can be less than the producer officially claims.

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.
