In addition to the Cosmos 4K SE, Anker is launching two more projectors on the market. These are even smaller systems that are also considerably cheaper. Both models have an internal battery.
Anker is apparently planning the release of two ultra-compact projectors with integrated batteries, which should therefore also be easy to use on the move. These are the Capsule 3 Laser and Capsule Air models. The Capsule 3 Laser with the model number D2426X is not a completely new device - it is a modernized version of the existing model, which comes with Google TV. We have already been able to test the older version of the Capsule 3 Laser.
The Capsule 3 Laser with Google TV is an 8.3 x 8.3 x 17-centimeter projector with a 52 Wh battery, which is said to offer a battery life of 2.5 hours and can output up to 10 watts to external devices. The brightness is specified at 300 ANSI lumens and it should be possible to project an image up to 120 inches in size. The 950-gram projector comes with a MediaTek MT9630 SoC and external players can be connected via HDMI 2.1. Bluetooth 5.1 and WiFi are also available, as is an audio output. The Capsule 3 Laser with Google TV is to be launched on the market at a price of 800 dollars and is a Full HD projector.
The Nebula Capsule Air is somewhat more compact at 6.86 x 6.86 x 13.97 centimeters and weighs 1.05 kilograms. The resolution is limited to 720p, and the brightness is specified at just 150 ANSI lumens - an image up to 100 inches in size can be projected. An SoC and WiFi are available, and Netflix is already installed. A 33.48 Wh battery is installed and the runtime is specified at up to 2 hours. Keystone correction and focusing can be performed automatically, and there is a 5W speaker. The price is said to be under 400 dollars.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
