Ellohra HY300

Around that modest lamp, Ellohra fits more named hardware than many rivals:

• Allwinner H713. A quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, the chip behind many Android projectors of this size.
• Mali-G31 graphics with OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1 and OpenCL 2.0 support, enough for the Android 11 menus and simple games.
• Full-format decoding. 4K files at 30 frames and 1080p at 60 frames play from a USB stick.
• DSP stereo speaker tuned in software for a small room.

Behind the lens sits a native 1280 × 720 LCD with a 1500:1 contrast ratio, the same grid the HY300 family shares. Everything sharper than 720p is scaled down, so the value of 4K decoding lies in playing the file at all, not in extra detail.

Because brightness spreads over area, picture size decides how lively the Ellohra looks. A 60-inch picture carries nearly three times the light per square inch of a 100-inch one from the same lamp, which is why the smaller sizes suit it best.

Good matches for the Ellohra:

• A nursery or shared bedroom, where the fan hum must stay below breathing.
• A ceiling film from a pillow, with the 180° stand tipped straight up.
• A camper van or tent after full dark, helped by the 570 g body.
• Online lessons or small meetings in a dim room, which Ellohra also names.

Ellohra suggests 1.68 m as the working distance for its picture and rates the throw from 1.2 to 5 m. On a bedroom wall, sitting between 1.2 and 1.7 m keeps you in the upper rows, where the picture still pops.

For fixed rooms, a ceiling or wall mount frees the nightstand, and the screen size guide covers ceiling distances in more depth.

A plain white wall or a matte screen makes a bigger difference here than on brighter models. Grey paint, a textured finish or a wall lit by a hallway gap each shave off light the Ellohra cannot spare, so a sheet of blackout fabric over the door crack is the cheapest upgrade in the room.

1. Plug in the power cord and swing the stand toward your wall or ceiling.
2. Let the automatic keystone square the frame, then turn the manual focus until small text is sharp.
3. Connect to the home network from the Android settings; the 5 GHz band suits a router in the same room.
4. Run a system update before signing in to streaming apps.
5. Test the DSP speaker at film volume, and add Bluetooth headphones if others are sleeping.

One spec needs a note. The model name promises Bluetooth 5.4, while Ellohra's detailed feature text lists BT 4.1. Either version pairs headphones and speakers; the newer one tends to hold the link better across a room and uses less power, so check the Bluetooth menu on arrival if it matters to you.

The remote handles the Android menus, and Ellohra also lists app control. Keep a phone app as the backup for the night the remote slips down the side of the bed.

For wired sources, HDMI takes a TV stick, a laptop or a games console, and the audio-out jack feeds a speaker when Bluetooth lag bothers you. A USB drive plays downloaded films through the H713's decoder without any app at all.

If apps misbehave, the firmware update guide and Wi-Fi and app fixes walk through the usual cures, and the remote app guide helps when the remote goes missing under a duvet.

Magcubic's original HY300 adds 5W stereo speakers and a picture Magcubic rates to 200 inches. The ear&ear HY300 sits between the two on brightness with the same quiet fan rating. BeeJovial's Mini brings Android 14 and Bluetooth 5.4 in a 0.77 lb body.

None of these steps up the panel: all four stay at native 720p, so the differences show in how the picture holds up with a little stray light and in how current the software feels. In a blackout room at 70 inches, the Ellohra and the brighter models look closer than their lumen figures suggest; with a lamp on, they drift apart fast.

Pick the Ellohra when these hold true:

• The room goes fully dark for every film.
• A silent fan matters more than a bigger picture.
• You like knowing the chip inside, for app and update support.

For the full ladder of plain, Pro and Pro+ bodies, HY300 against HY300 Pro sets out what each step adds, and the HY300 verdict weighs the family as a whole.
