This periscope-like projector can display movies on your ceiling


What is it? The Kixin K5H is a portable projector that can be used on a wall or on your ceiling and even comes with a built-in Android computer.

What makes it special and why should I buy it? Here is a projector with a difference. It can project content in tight areas and even on ceilings, which can come handy. It is powered by an Android PC which means that you don't even need to connect it to a computer to work. If you've found something similar with a lower price tag, let us know via Twitter!

How much does it cost? It is available from Banggood for $235.99 (about £173/AU$309) without any code for the CN warehouse. That's an extra $95 off the current sale price of $330.99. Overall, you get more than 29% off its suggested retail price. Hurry up though as the deal ends on December 28.

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, an operating system that was first unveiled back in 2015.
