Summary
The Wemax Dice is a unique take on a portable and wireless projector. Thanks to the Android TV 9, which makes it an all-in-one projector. As a result, you can connect it to the internet via Wi-Fi and enjoy your favorite content without the need of an external source.
With every electronic device going portable and wireless, projectors have jumped on the same bandwagon.
Most compact projectors require an active wall socket connection at all times.
You can also get a wide range of pocket-able pico projectors. But due to their small size, pico projectors aren’t very bright, have low resolution, and don’t last long.
This is where wireless projectors like Wemax Dice fill the gap and offer you the best of both worlds. It offers a portable size, higher resolution, and a bright lamp for turning any room into an entertainment zone. It also has a bigger battery that eliminates the need for continuous power supply.
In this Wemax Dice review, we’ll look at the projector’s design, built quality, and performance. We’ll go through its smart features and tell you if it’s worth your investment.

First Impression & Design
Even though the Wemax Dice is marketed as a smart portable projector, it weighs 4.8 pounds. Plus, its cuboidal shape makes it a little tricky to stuff in a backpack.
Within the box, aside from the projector, you get an instruction manual, a cleaning cloth, remote control, and a power adapter. The Wemax Dice measures 6.1-inch height, 4.9-inch wide, and 6.2-inch deep, with a leatherette carrying strap at the top. The mustard-colored carrying strap offers a nice contrast against the projector’s gun-metal finish.

Built Quality & Performance
The built quality of this projector is fantastic. It feels sturdy and can easily match with the likes of Anker & Xgimi portable projectors. The outer casing is built using high-quality plastic with the inclusion of metal parts. This fusion of materials makes the projector robust and is a significant factor in weighing more than it should.
Alongside, the carrying strap at the top is of high quality. It can easily support the weight of Wemax Dice and doesn’t feel stressed even when lifted for an extended period.
There are plenty of perforations throughout the projector’s body. It helps in heat dissipation and aids towards 360° Dolby Audio speaker, and we’ll talk about it later.
With its LED light source, the Wemax Dice offers up to 700 ANSI lumens brightness. Compared to pico projectors, 700 ANSI lumens is good enough to get a reasonably bright picture within a dimly lit room.
Moreover, the brightness doesn’t reduce once you remove the power cord. The projector draws power from its 16,000 mAH battery.
When you start the projector, the initial setup is straightforward. The focus camera at the front allows for automatic focusing and keystone correction. The projector can process the projection surface and adjust the projection screen size and alignment.
In some cases, if the automatic focusing and keystone correction is not able to do their magic, you can manually fine-tune these settings within the projector’s OSD menu.
This projector also comes with horizontal keystone correction. Using these features, you can place this projector on the far left or right side of a room and still enjoy a perfectly aligned projection screen.
In terms of picture quality, the Wemax Dice has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080p. With Full HD resolution, you can expect crisp display quality and precise text reproduction. You get a great balance between colors, and the color output seems vivid. The black levels are deep, and the whites do not feel overexposed.
This projector is equipped with Android TV 9.0; hence you get a plethora of smart features and connectivity options. You can summon Google Assistant and voice control your way through various settings and apps with the provided remote control.
As mentioned above, this projector has an inbuilt battery rated to last up to 3 hours. The Android TV home screen also displays the battery percentage, which gives you an idea about the battery life.
In our testing, the battery lasted up to 150 minutes, which is quite good to watch an entire movie in one go. The Wemax Dice also has Eco mode that can surely help in extending the battery life by a reasonable margin.
You also get several projection modes like Standard, Movie, Vivid, Sports, Child, and User. With each mode, the picture quality and brightness change slightly to adapt to the content you’re watching. Within the User Mode, you can manually set the brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, hue, color temperature, and digital noise reduction.
With the Android TV setup, you can access over 5000 apps through the Google Play store. However, essential apps like Netflix and Prime Video are missing at the moment. It could be rectified in upcoming updates. However, you can connect your favorite streaming media device like Amazon Fire Stick or Roku to enjoy your favorite content.
Talking about audio quality and speakers, the Wemax Dice comes with a 10W Dolby Audio DTS HD speaker system. Unlike other projectors, this speaker system offers excellent sound quality, and you can use it for an immersive auditory experience.
