Reiie HY300 Pro+

Reiie's HY300 Pro+ after the lights go out

Reiie is plain about where its HY300 Pro+ shines: as an entry-level projector, it performs best at night or in a darkened room. That honesty is useful, because the rest of the sheet reads like any other Pro+ until you notice what it leaves out and what it adds.

What the Reiie brings to the evening:

  • Android 11 on a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, so apps run on the projector without a TV stick.
  • A 2.69-inch LCD with a native 1280 × 720 grid, fed by a decoder that handles HEVC, VP9 and AVC files up to 4K at 30 frames.
  • Wi-Fi 6 plus Bluetooth 5.0, the first for streaming and mirroring, the second for headphones and speakers.
  • A three-second boot and a fan rated under 28 dB, quiet enough to fade behind the soundtrack.

What it leaves out is the speaker base. Here the plus in the name means the feature set, not a 5W SoundBase under the head, so audio comes from a built-in speaker and anything bigger arrives over Bluetooth or the 3.5 mm jack.

Reiie's own figures disagree on brightness. The feature text and headline highlights give 200 ANSI lumens, while the detailed spec table lists 160 ANSI. Plan your picture size around the lower number and the higher one becomes a pleasant surprise.

Reiie's own sheet puts the body at 0.61 kg with a power cord, remote and manual in the carton. It runs on AC 90–260 V mains, so the same projector works on a trip abroad with only a plug adapter.

First evening tip. A transparent protective film covers the lens out of the box. Reiie reminds owners to peel it off before projecting; left on, it softens every edge and no amount of focusing brings the picture back.

40 to 130 inches from half a metre to three

The short-throw lens is the Reiie's strongest card. With a 0.9:1 ratio, each metre between lens and wall buys a little over a metre of picture width, so a narrow bedroom still gets a large film. Reiie rates the projection distance at 0.5 to 3 m and the picture at 40 to 130 inches.

Lens to wallApproximate 16:9 pictureScene
0.8 mAbout 40 inKids' cartoons from the bedside table
1.2 mAbout 60 inDorm room, lights off
1.6 mAbout 80 inCouple's film on the bedroom wall
2.0 mAbout 100 inLiving room with curtains closed
2.6 mAbout 130 inOnly in full darkness

Figures follow the 0.9:1 ratio and are rounded. Because the lamp is modest, the middle rows are where the picture keeps its colour; the 130-inch end suits a moonless garden more than a lounge with street lights outside.

Height matters too. Set on a low table, the lens aims slightly upward and the automatic keystone squares the frame, at the cost of a few pixels. Raising the projector on a stack of books so the lens sits level with the bottom of the picture keeps every one of the 1280 × 720 pixels in play.

Two less common settings make the Reiie flexible:

  • 360° image flip. Front, ceiling and rear modes let you project from behind a translucent sheet or shower curtain, handy for a garden screening where the projector hides out of the way.
  • 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. Old TV series and home videos in 4:3 fill the frame properly instead of stretching faces sideways.

For a deeper sizing walk-through, the HY300 screen size guide covers ceilings and sloped walls, and the brightness settings guide shows which picture modes squeeze out more light.

Casting from an iPhone or Android to the Reiie

Reiie builds in both AirPlay and Miracast, the two mirroring systems phones speak natively. That makes the Reiie friendlier to mixed households than projectors that only mirror one kind of phone. Both phone and projector need to share the same Wi-Fi network.

  1. Connect the projector to your router in the Android 11 settings; on a dual-band router, choose the 5 GHz band for fewer dropouts.
  2. Check the system menu for an update before signing in to any apps.
  3. On an iPhone, open Control Centre, tap Screen Mirroring and pick the projector from the list.
  4. On Android, use Smart View, Cast or Screen Cast, depending on the phone brand, and select the Reiie.
  5. For a film longer than a clip, open the matching app on the projector itself so the phone can go back in your pocket.

Mirroring doubles the work for your Wi-Fi, since video travels from the internet to the phone and on to the projector. Apps running on the Reiie fetch the stream once, which is why films look steadier that way.

Some subscription apps block mirroring and show a black screen with sound. If that happens, use the app on the projector, or plug in a TV stick through HDMI. The phone connection guide explains the black-screen rule, and the fixes page covers Wi-Fi drops and silent apps.

For local files, a USB stick works directly. The decoder also opens JPG, BMP and PNG photos, which turns a holiday folder into a slideshow on the living-room wall.

Where the Reiie sits against Pro+ models with a speaker base

Most HY300 Pro+ bodies in the range put a 5W speaker base under the swivel head. The Reiie takes a different route: no base, but short throw, a named processor and both mirroring systems. Against its closest rivals, the choice comes down to sound, focus and Android version.

Magcubic's Pro+ adds the speaker base and a voice air-mouse remote. ClokoWe's Pro+ focuses itself and adds a starry-sky bedtime mode. Alwtniet's Pro runs Android 14 on an Allwinner H726, a newer platform for apps.

The Reiie answers with the details that shape a quiet night in. A fan under 28 dB, a three-second start and both AirPlay and Miracast make it the easy guest-room projector: a visitor with either phone can put their holiday clips on the wall without a cable hunt. Reiie also rates the light source at 50,000 hours, so the lamp will not be the part that ends its life.

Check these before settling on the Reiie:

  • Will a built-in speaker do, or will you pair Bluetooth audio most nights?
  • Does anyone in the house mirror from an iPhone? AirPlay support settles that.
  • Is the room short on depth? The 0.9:1 lens helps most in small bedrooms.

The Pro+ versus Pro comparison explains what the plus usually means, and Magcubic's HY300 Pro+ shows the speaker-base version in full.

Before the lights go down

Setup and screen questions

Does the Reiie HY300 Pro+ have a speaker base?

No. It uses a built-in speaker, with Bluetooth 5.0 and a 3.5 mm jack for bigger sound.

Can an iPhone mirror to it?

Yes. Reiie builds in AirPlay for iPhones and Miracast for Android phones; both need the same Wi-Fi network as the projector.

How bright is it?

Reiie quotes 200 ANSI lumens in its feature text and 160 ANSI in its detailed table. Either way it is a projector for dark rooms.

Why does my picture look blurry on day one?

Peel the clear protective film off the lens, then adjust the manual focus. The film is easy to miss.

How close to the wall can it sit?

From 0.5 m. With the 0.9:1 lens, about 0.8 m gives a 40-inch picture and 2 m gives about 100 inches.
