Soundcore Nebula P1: Portable Projector with Built‑In Speakers

Soundcore Nebula P1 launched late 2025 at $799, offering 1080p laser DLP projection and a 650‑lumens output, suitable for dark or outdoor settings. The compact 5.3‑lb unit includes a detachable 2‑channel Bluetooth speaker system that delivers a wide soundstage, a feature that most competitors lack. Built‑in Google TV lets users stream from YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video without an external HDMI source, and the projector supports 3‑DLP optics and 20‑hour speaker battery life. The design features a gimbal stand, USB‑C power, and IP33/IP54 weather‑resistance, making it easy to transport and set up for backyard movie nights. However, the 650‑lumens brightness limits large‑screen use, and the unit’s 1080p resolution can show a screen‑door effect on very large images. Users noted that the speakers sometimes fail to recharge via pogo pins after long use, and the gimbal lacks tilt correction, which can affect aiming on uneven surfaces. Despite these quirks, the Nebula P1 offers a compelling value compared to pricier models like the Hisense M2 Pro or JMGO N1S Pro, especially for portable outdoor viewing. Price dips to as low as $639 during sales provide an opportunity to acquire the device at a discount.
