An HY300 Pro built around its software: Android 14 on an Allwinner H726 chip, apps like Hulu and YouTube ready on first boot, and a picture that stretches from 35 to 135 inches.
Plenty of HY300 bodies still ship with Android 11. The Alwtniet HY300 Pro starts from Android 14 on an Allwinner H726 chip, with Hulu, YouTube and other apps ready on the home screen at first boot. For a projector that replaces a TV stick, the software is half the product.
Why the newer base matters on a movie night:
The picture side is classic HY300 Pro. A native 1280 × 720 LCD panel accepts a 3840 × 2160 signal and scales it down, with 200 ANSI lumens and an 8000:1 contrast ratio on the standard version. A 5W SoundBase speaker handles dialogue in a bedroom or small lounge.
Alwtniet rates the light source for 50,000 hours; the light will outlive years of weekly film nights.

Alwtniet gives the HY300 Pro a 0.9:1 throw ratio: 35 inches from 0.75 m up to 135 inches from 2.65 m. For a picture of 80 inches or more, it recommends 1.6 m from the wall. That distance fits most living rooms without moving a chair.
| Lens to wall | Picture | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| 0.75 m | 35 in | A desk pushed against the wall |
| 1.2 m | About 60 in | A dresser at the foot of the bed |
| 1.6 m | About 80 in | A coffee table, the suggested size |
| 2.0 m | About 100 in | A sideboard across the lounge |
| 2.65 m | 135 in | A shelf behind the sofa, dark room only |
In-between sizes are rounded from the throw ratio. The bigger the picture, the thinner those 200 lumens are spread, so a 135-inch wall wants closed curtains and no lamps. At around 80 inches the picture keeps its colour with a dim side light on. The straighter the projector faces the wall, the less keystone work it does and the crisper the corners stay.
Exact sizes for other distances are worked out in the HY300 screen size chart.
Sometimes the wall is smaller than the picture. The Alwtniet can scale its image down to 80% without you touching the projector, which saves shuffling furniture around a narrow bedroom. It is a digital shrink, though, and that has a cost worth knowing.
A digital resize draws the picture on fewer of the panel's 1280 × 720 pixels. At 80%, fine text and subtitles lose a little crispness. Moving the projector closer keeps every pixel at work, so reach for the resize only when the furniture cannot move.
Keystone and resize work together. Each correction reshapes the picture digitally, so the fewer you need, the sharper the film looks. A projector placed straight on and level needs neither.
If subtitles look soft even after focusing, set the resize back to 100%, clear any manual keystone and focus again. A small correction left over from another room is the usual culprit.
The Alwtniet HY300 Pro comes in three builds on the same Android 14 base. The standard white box is the one most people start with. The other two add something you feel every evening.
| Version | What changes | Light | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android 14, white | Standard remote, manual focus | 200 ANSI | 0.77 lb |
| Voice remote, white or black | Remote with voice control | 200 ANSI | 0.88 lb |
| Electric focus, striped white | Focus motor driven from the remote | 260 ANSI | 1.2 lb |
The electric-focus build is the Alwtniet to choose for ceiling films, because it sharpens after a swivel without anyone leaving the bed. Its 260 ANSI figure matches the Magcubic HY300 Ultra, which pairs the same chip and focus type with Magcubic's air mouse.
Weight is the other difference. At 1.2 lb the electric-focus build is the heaviest of the three, still fine on a shelf bracket but deserving a sturdier tripod head than the 0.77 lb standard box. All three share the 5W SoundBase, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and the 35–135 inch range, which leaves the remote and the focus to decide between them.
Against the rest of the shelf:
Before you order, decide how often the projector will swivel. Once a week, manual focus is fine; every night, the electric build pays off.
An Allwinner H726, running Android 14, with apps such as Hulu and YouTube built in.
About 1.6 m for an 80-inch picture, which Alwtniet recommends. The range runs from 35 inches at 0.75 m to 135 inches at 2.65 m.
Yes, it resizes from 100% down to 80% digitally. Moving the projector closer keeps the picture sharper when you can.
The striped white version. It also carries the brightest rating of the three, 260 ANSI lumens.
Yes. A stick, laptop or console plugs into the HDMI port, and the picture is shown at the native 720p.
