What else should we know?It uses DLP technology with a native resolution of 854 x 480 pixels which is low but expected given how light and compact it is (50 x 50 x 192mm). There’s even an Android powered personal computer which makes it quasi autonomous. Other than a quad-core processor, there’s 1GB of RAM and 8GB onboard storage. Its connectivity is what surprised us: a microSD card slot, a HDMI port, a full size USB connector, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a headphone socket. There’s even a speaker, albeit a 3W one. So don’t expect miracles. Likewise, its brightness is a mere 100 ANSI Lumens, which makes it barely adequate to use in a brightly lit room. Note that the K5H is powered by a 6,000mAh battery that the manufacturer claims is enough for 160 minutes usage time.
Any cons?It uses Android 6.0, anoperating systemthat was first unveiled back in 2015.
