Overall Impression

Size and Design

The first thing buyers are going to notice upon opening up the RIF6 Cube Mobile Projector is that it looks like a small digital camera. This is not a bad thing, as most digital cameras are pretty streamlined and attractive, and the RIF6 will definitely add to the aesthetics of any room. Its measurements are 2 inches in length, by 2 inches in width, and there are 1.9 inches of depth, so it ticks all boxes in terms of portability. It’s so small, in fact, that it will fit into any jacket pocket, purse, handbag, or suitcase; and with a weight of 1.8 pounds, it won’t represent a burden on anyone.

Performance

The assembly is easy, with the only problems coming from attaching the tripod, that comes with the product. These problems are however minor, and the whole process should be completed in under 15 minutes. Once you’re set up, you’ll be able to tell from holding your projector, that it’s going to be very durable. The whole thing is cased in aluminum, which is a common metal used when company’s want to combine low weight, with strength.

As far as image clarity goes, this projector is not 1080p, so we’re not talking HD here, but it does have excellent DLP technology which makes the pixels perform well. Colors look crisp and clear, although some noticeable drops in quality will be seen in text for presentations. The resolution is 854×480, but as I said, actual performance will be much better than that. Certainly, for movies and games, it’ll display like 720p HD.

It has a large screen for a super-portable projector, going up to 120 inches, and although you will see distortions after 100 inches, these aren’t major. The connections are where the genius of the RIF6 Cube Mobile Projector comes into play; it will connect to anything including phones, tablets, laptops, computers, TV sets, games consoles, Blu-ray, MP3, and MP4 players. Connection is wireless, fast, and very easy to do, even for technological novices. What they’ve created here then, is the perfect accessory to any mobile device user, who wants a larger screen, and better picture than their devices offer. People are more and more choosing projectors like this, as mobile devices and streaming sites on the internet become more common.

It’s only 50 lumens so you’re not going to be viewing in the afternoon sun, or even early evening, without drawing the curtains, but for some, this won’t be a problem, especially when this projector is so portable and functional. Buyers will find it very refreshing that it comes with a tripod, HDMI cable, a USB cable, and two MHL cables; one for androids and one for Samsung tablets. As I said, the connectivity here is pretty special.

 

Final Verdict

Some people might be dissuaded from buying because it’s not HD, but they shouldn’t be. The RIF6 Cube Mobile Projector has great pixel performance, so the clarity is amazing for movies, games, and presentations, with the only distortions coming at a screen size of over 100 inches, and sometimes on text. In terms of streaming, and surfing the internet, the RIF6,is second to none and will connect to any device. It’s also very portable, which is what most people looking in this market for a purchase, are searching for. All in all, its well worth the money.
