Every HY300 shares the same idea: a 720p LCD engine in a swivel body. The price moves with everything around it, from the speaker base and the remote to the focus motor, the Android version and the name on the box.
Brought up to date September 2026Most HY300 projectors cost $25–70. The original HY300 runs $25–50, the Pro $35–60, the Pro+ $35–70 and the Ultra $40–70. Magcubic's own Pro+ and Ultra sit at $55–60, and its Pro+ with a 47-inch tripod costs $80–85.
The HY300 mini projector price buys a 100-inch picture on the wall for little money, and the gap between the cheapest and dearest models is narrow. Almost every projector carrying the name sits between $25–70, checked September 2026.
Inside that span, four price bands tell the models apart:
The engine barely changes across the bands. Nearly all of them draw a 1280 x 720 picture on an LCD panel and accept 1080p and 4K signals. Brightness claims cluster around 160–260 ANSI lumens.
What rises with the price is the kit around the lens. Speakers, remotes, focus motors, chips and Android versions separate a $25–40 HY300 from a $55–70 one. Each step up buys comfort on movie night more than a sharper picture. The HY300 specs guide lines them up feature by feature.
Magcubic's Pro+ costs $55–60 and its 2026 Pro $45–50. The gap pays for things you hear and hold more than things you see.
The picture itself is close. Both list 200 ANSI, native 720p and auto vertical keystone, and both focus by hand. On the same wall, in the same dark bedroom, the two look much alike.
The 2026 Pro wins on size. Magcubic calls it 30% smaller than the previous model, with an external power supply to keep heat out. For a backpack or a tent wall, that is worth more than a speaker base.
Other brands blur the HY300 Pro projector price ladder. Salange and Chicdaze sell Pro+ models at $35–40, cheaper than many plain Pros; Salange's runs Android 14, Chicdaze's Android 11 with 160 ANSI. The badge on the box says less than the spec sheet. The full side-by-side lives in HY300 Pro+ vs HY300 Pro.

The Ultra name covers the widest spread of any HY300, from $40–55 up to $55–70. At the top of that span, the extra money buys a motor behind the lens.
Magcubic's Ultra at $55–60 focuses electrically from the remote and states 260 ANSI lumens, the brightest figure in Magcubic's HY300 line. It runs Android 14 on an Allwinner H726 and keeps the 5W soundbase and air-mouse remote from the Pro+.
SKUOU charges $55–70 for its Ultra and HY300 Plus, both with motorised focus on Android 14. The Plus states 260 ANSI; the Ultra, 220. DreamFair and LONAISCI Ultras reach the top of the range too, at $65–70, without an electric focus motor in their own descriptions.
At $40–55, the Ultra badge often means less:
One Ultra-labelled model sits at $15–20, and its own spec sheet claims native 4K, which a projector of this size and price does not deliver. Treat outliers like that with care. The Ultra vs Pro comparison sets the step up in detail.
Magcubic's 2026 Pro keeps the swivel stand, auto keystone, HDMI and built-in apps, in a body 30% smaller than the previous Pro. It gives up the Pro+ soundbase speaker and costs a band less.
Start the showThe cheapest HY300 costs $25–30, and it still puts a big picture on the wall. The savings show in the parts you use every evening: the system, the sound and the brightness.
Budget models at $25–40 share a pattern:
Some of them also make claims that do not add up. Amovfilm lists 15,000 lumens beside 300 ANSI, and WOOPKER 8,000 lumens beside 260 ANSI. Only the ANSI figures describe the picture; the large numbers do not.
A cheap HY300 is still a sensible buy for a child's bedroom, a camping trip or a first try at projection. It plays YouTube, takes an HDMI stick, and swivels to the ceiling like the dearer models.
The best-value low-band pick is Chicdaze's Pro+ at $35–40, with Wi-Fi 6, Android TV 11 and auto keystone. Magcubic's own original HY300, at $40–45, is the cheapest way into the maker's line. What the first step up changes is set out in HY300 vs HY300 Pro.

Ranges from the main configuration of each HY300 family and accessory on sale in the US, checked September 2026. Prices move with sales and colours; treat the bands as a guide.
The projector is most of the bill, but a few accessories turn it from a bedside gadget into a proper screening setup. They cost $5–40 each, checked September 2026.
| Add-on | Price range | What it solves |
|---|---|---|
| Floor tripod | $25–40 | Lifts the lens over heads in a living room or backyard |
| Wall or ceiling mount | $5–20 | A fixed ceiling picture above the bed |
| Hard case or padded bag | $15–40 | Protects the lens on trips |
| Spare remote | $5–20 | Ends the lost-remote evening |
| Spare power adapter | $15–20 | A second home, or a replacement for a lost one |
Three budgets cover most buyers:
A bundle saves one decision. Magcubic packs its Pro+, Pro, original HY300 and Ultra with the same 47-inch folding tripod, and the tripod alone costs $25–30.
Skip screens at first. A flat white wall gives the 200 ANSI engine a fair surface, and a sheet works outdoors. Every stand, mount, case and adapter that fits is in HY300 accessories.
Most cost $25–70, checked September 2026. The original HY300 runs $25–50, the Pro $35–60, the Pro+ $35–70 and the Ultra $40–70.
Magcubic's 2026 Pro costs $45–50 and its classic Pro $40–45. The Magcubic Pro+ costs $55–60.
Original HY300s from HOLEPLUS, Ellohra and Chicdaze cost $25–30. They run Android 11 with lower brightness and smaller speakers.
For a fixed bedroom setup, yes: the 5W soundbase and air-mouse remote with voice justify the step. For travel, the smaller 2026 Pro is the better buy.
Remotes and mounts cost $5–20, cases $10–40, tripods $25–40 and Magcubic power adapters $15–20.
Mini projectors that share a shelf with the HY300 without being one: Aurzen's Roku TV models, the AKIYO O1 Pro, and Magcubic's own HY310, HY320 Pro and HY350 Max, several of them with native 1080p.
