Chicdaze's HY300 Pro+ is two projectors under one name: a light, plain Android TV 11 swivel model at 160 lumens, and a Plus build that adds electric focus, a 5W speaker base and 260 lumens.
The Chicdaze HY300 Pro+ name covers two builds that share a panel and a system but little else. The standard one is a close twin of Chicdaze's HY300 Pro. The Plus build is closer to an Ultra, with a motor on the lens and a speaker under it.
| Standard Pro+ | Plus build | |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 160 ANSI lumens | 260 ANSI lumens |
| Focus | Manual wheel | Electric |
| Sound | 360° speaker in the body | 5W SoundBase, DSP, night mode |
| Keystone | Auto | Six-way auto |
| Contrast | 1500:1 | 2000:1 |
| Fan | Below 25 dB | Down to 22 dB(A) |
Both run Android TV 11 on a Mali-G31 graphics core, with Prime Video and YouTube built in. Both stream over dual-band Wi-Fi 6, pair over Bluetooth (5.0 or newer on the standard build, 5.4 on the Plus) and show a native 1280 × 720 picture from signals up to 4K.
What the standard build brings:
The Plus build adds HDR10+ decoding and MEMC motion smoothing to the picture, and a night cinema mode that softens sudden loud scenes. Its 3.5 mm jack sits beside HDMI and USB.
Chicdaze also calls the Plus build an HY300 Plus, so the two names turn up for the same box. If the box mentions electric or motorised focus, 260 lumens and a 5W sound base, it is the Plus; if it quotes 160 lumens and manual focus, it is the standard Pro+.

Electric focus is the Plus build's best trick at bedtime. Swivel the head from the wall to the ceiling, press the focus buttons on the remote and the picture sharpens without anyone climbing out of bed. The standard build asks for a hand on the wheel after every swivel.
Chicdaze states that the Plus build's short-focus lens throws a 100-inch picture from about 2 m. Rounded distances for other sizes follow from that figure:
| Distance | Picture | Room |
|---|---|---|
| About 1.2 m | 60 in | Small bedroom wall |
| About 1.6 m | 80 in | Ceiling above a double bed |
| About 2 m | 100 in | Lounge wall after dark |
At 260 lumens, the Plus build keeps colour at 100 inches in a darkened lounge, where the standard 160-lumen build starts to look thin. For the standard build, 70 to 90 inches on a dark bedroom wall is the comfortable range. The Plus build's MEMC smoothing also helps sport and fast action look less juddery at those sizes.
Evenings each build suits:
The HY300 screen size chart lists distances inch by inch, and the auto keystone and focus guide compares manual, electric and auto focus.
Setup takes the same route on both builds. Point the lens at a matte wall, plug in, and follow the prompts. The only difference is how you focus at the end.
Sound deserves a thought on the standard build. Its 360-degree speaker suits a quiet bedroom, and the audio output feeds a wired speaker for anything larger. The Plus build's 5W base covers a lounge on its own, and its night cinema mode keeps explosions in check after the neighbours have gone to bed.
On the Plus build, focus once on the wall, then swivel to the ceiling and refocus from the remote to see how quickly the motor settles. Do the same after moving the projector between rooms; the focus does not carry over from one distance to the next.
Things that save a frustrating first night:
The HY300 manual explains the menus and buttons in plain English.
Pro+ and Plus are loose labels across HY300 brands. Magcubic's Pro+ means a speaker base and a voice remote; SKUOU's HY300 Plus means electric focus and Android 14. Chicdaze's two builds land on either side of that line.
| Model | Light | Focus | System |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicdaze HY300 Pro+ | 160 ANSI; 260 Plus | Manual; electric Plus | Android TV 11 |
| Magcubic HY300 Pro+ | 200 ANSI | Manual | Android 14 on some versions |
| SKUOU HY300 Plus | 260 ANSI | Electric | Android 14 |
| ClokoWe HY300 Pro+ | Not stated | Auto and manual | Not stated |
The standard Chicdaze Pro+ is the budget pick for a dark bedroom. The Plus build matches SKUOU's Plus on light and focus but stays on Android TV 11, so pick SKUOU if a newer system matters. Magcubic's Pro+ is the one to choose for voice search on an air-mouse remote.
Within Chicdaze's own range, the Plus build also overlaps with the Chicdaze HY300 Ultra. Both sit on a 5W SoundBase with night mode and a 22 dB(A) fan. The Plus adds electric focus and 90 more lumens, which makes it the stronger of the two for a room that switches between wall and ceiling.
Before you order:
For a compact rundown of what the plus sign adds, see HY300 Pro+ vs HY300 Pro.
The Plus build adds electric focus, a 5W SoundBase with night mode, 260 ANSI lumens and 2000:1 contrast. The standard Pro+ focuses by hand at 160 lumens.
The standard Pro+ is very close: the same 160 lumens, Android TV 11 and body size, with Bluetooth 5.0 in its feature text. The Plus build is the real step up.
Yes. It decodes H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) files from a USB flash drive.
Android TV 11 on both builds, with a Mali-G31 graphics core.
