The Cosmos 4K and Capsule Projector: A Comparative Analysis
When it comes to portable projectors, two devices stand out from the rest: the Cosmos 4K and the Capsule. Both units are designed for on-the-go entertainment, but they approach this task in vastly different ways. The Cosmos 4K is a behemoth of a projector, packing a massive 2400 lumen output that makes it ideal for bright spaces or when ambient light is a concern. In contrast, the Capsule is tiny and lightweight, with a built-in battery that allows it to be powered on the go.
The setup process for both units is straightforward, but the Cosmos 4K requires more physical space due to its larger size. The Capsule, on the other hand, is designed to be compact and portable, making it easy to toss into a backpack or purse. Once set up, however, both devices deliver impressive visuals that will transport you to another world. The Cosmos 4K boasts a staggering 150-inch resolution, while the Capsule's lower resolution still manages to produce a stunning image.
The audio capabilities of both units are noteworthy, with the Capsule surprising everyone with its decent sound quality considering its tiny size. The Cosmos 4K also produces impressive audio, but it's not as loud or clear-cut as the Capsule's. If you're planning to use your projector in a party setting, the Capsule's volume is likely to be sufficient.
One of the standout features of both units is their versatility. The Cosmos 4K can connect to consoles like the PlayStation 5 through an HDMI port, allowing for seamless gaming experiences on the big screen. The Capsule also offers a range of connectivity options, including USB and HDMI, making it easy to plug in your favorite devices.
For Android TV enthusiasts, both units offer access to a wide range of streaming services, including Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and more. The Cosmos 4K's larger screen size makes it ideal for watching movies or sporting events on the big screen, while the Capsule is perfect for smaller gatherings or impromptu parties.
When it comes to priority, the choice between portability, convenience, battery operation, brightness, and optimal resolution ultimately depends on individual preferences. If you prioritize ease of setup and use in bright spaces, the Cosmos 4K might be the better choice. On the other hand, if you're looking for a portable device that can handle smaller gatherings or impromptu parties, the Capsule is an excellent option.
The Nebula range, which includes both units, offers unparalleled flexibility when it comes to choosing between these competing priorities. With so many options available, consumers are spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting their next projector. Whether you're a die-hard Android TV fan or someone looking for the ultimate portable projector experience, there's something in the Nebula lineup to suit every need and preference.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe got some new nebula products from anchor these things are very convenient portable projectors which actually the image quality is quite surprising they're truly portable giant screens this is the nebula capsule 3 laser and over here we have the nebula Cosmos laser 4K so an actual 4K capable projector you have Android TV and Google Assistant you've also got Chromecast built in so it's just a number of different ways to interact with it and get content to it however if you did want to plug a game console or something in you could because you've also got HDMI so it's a lot of Versatility now this one they're saying is pocket sized maybe you have a big pocket but it is totally portable DLP technology 1080p as mentioned the battery inside 14 500 milliamp hour USBC HDMI auxiliary out if you want to send audio to an external audio system Wi-Fi Bluetooth and Chromecast built in it's also got a dedicated remote for controlling that Android TV you can see in this picture these people are out camping and they have a giant projection going on pack that whole thing up and fit it in a small bag unboxing experience a few more demos of how you might want to use it you can have the romance going on in the desert or on the beach so this is your remote not too big not too small I say not too small because some of these smart devices have remotes that are tiny enough to be lost frequently I have experience with that volume home back nav section dedicated assistant button and power switch plus microphone on there so you can use your voice to interact with it batteries included which you always love to see a little bit of paperwork and then the projector look at how Sleek this little guy is cool to the touch so metal build nav on the top as well if you don't have the remote or don't care to carry it but the form factor is really what's key this would probably fit in a cup holder this is basically the size of a Bluetooth speaker Giant rail around the outside in order to expose the audio components power switch on the back as well as Bluetooth over there here we can see our full size HDMI port auxiliary and type c as well and then on the bottom we actually have a thread for a tripod style adapter lens on the front 1080p laser projection and also auto focus capable so that the setup is not too tedious also in the package we have our power brick you don't necessarily have to be Tethered to this but you are going to need to recharge it at some point and you can use it connected to the power adapter too if you wish of course we're going to need a USBC cable to connect the two so that is the capsule three but before we boot it up and take a peek at it let's go ahead and open up the 4K capable Cosmos laser 4K so what do you get in the bigger form factor besides 4K 2400 lumens you can actually see your image with the lighting on in the room the same light source technology used in professional theater projectors up to 150 inch display with with this added brightness and resolution and obviously you have sound built in here as well 2 by 10 Watt and two by five watt here we have a power cable so slightly bigger unit just need a power cable here we have a little 4K streaming dongle which actually installs into the back side of the projector and stays there permanently slightly different remote this one actually has some dedicated buttons for YouTube Netflix Prime video and Disney plus we have volume as well as Channel home a navigate course our assistant button for Google as well oh I like this handle on the top still very portable and easy to move around you have the Grille on the side it's kind of a cool look we have a power switch nav section as well as a audio controls and this is like a rubberized finish to it then on the back you'll see a full-size HDMI port USB a port auxiliary as well as power connection point you don't need a separate power brick the power cable goes straight into there so this is where the 4K streaming dongle connects fits in there kind of nicely on the front of the device we see this wow look at that nice piece of glass right there a number of other sensors in order to have the thing set up quickly if you're slightly off kilter the Keystone effect you're gonna have that stuff happen automatically and it kind of makes sense because they're targeted at set it up and go you want to have 150 inch 4K image in any room at any time just grab the power cable and this unit and like imagine that okay let's go ahead and set these up and see what we can do all right so we have both units booted up now on my left we have the cosmos 4K and on my right we have the capsule two totally different products in how they're approaching a similar task so in the case of the capsule it's all about portability and approachability from a price perspective it's going to fit in a small bag you can just carry it in your hand and even setting it up you don't need to plug it in because it has the built-in battery Cosmos 4k on the other hand no built-in battery because it's extremely bright like shockingly bright at 2400 lumen and when you put them side by side you begin to appreciate that added brightness and of course the extra resolution even from this seating distance I can tell the difference granted it's helpful to have them side by side likely if I didn't I'd be sitting there saying you know what the capsule is looking pretty good for such a little thing if you're gonna be competing with some sort of ambient light or natural light the 2400 lumens is going to come in handy big time this thing is going to win hands down but if you're going for like the party scene and it's going to be used primarily in the evening and it's going to be movie night and it's going to be Camp outs and things like that and portability is key and set up and ease of setup is key then the capsule is going to be just fine so anyways we have Android TV Android TV gives us everything we could possibly want from Netflix to YouTube to Prime video it's endless right sports streaming apps I want to watch the baseball game hockey game having the ability to have all your content but not need to plug anything else in and in the case of the capsule not even a power cable it's kind of beautiful check it out I'll just hit the button play unbox therapy on YouTube playing unbox therapy on YouTube thank you the other cool thing here volume like we have audio built in like we have audio it is like a dirt bike pretty loud audio you're getting some pretty nice sound out of it so you can have a little bit of a party going on now I'm gonna go ahead and turn that one down uh let's do a quick little comparison here play Lou later on YouTube whoa a few things happening because look at the entry actually that thing has surprising audio for such a small little unit go for it anyway uh we're not here for that today we're not here to talk about my injuries I didn't expect them to be that comparable from an audio perspective considering how much bigger the cosmos 4K is they're both gonna be sufficient for whatever event you're using them for and for me what's important in here is the sports apps so you can actually watch live sports and have like viewing parties in unexpected places if you want to watch baseball UFC NHL and then you go into games as well you can connect a console something like a PlayStation 5 through the HDMI port it's a ton of Versatility there for how you get to interact with it it's all very clean man it's something about a look of a projector just as far as like the space and Ambience is concerned it just feels like a party once you get the projector going I'm really into the cosmos forecast I don't know if you guys can tell but it's just that extra punch it really feels like a TV replacement I'm about to go to a hockey tournament and I was telling Mo I was like you know I should take the little capsule with me the capsule you pop it out the novelty Factor people are like are we really watching the hockey game right now is that what we're doing here's the beauty of it guys there's lots to choose from in the nebula range it's not even just these two units and you can kind of Select for what you want to prioritize is it portability convenience and Battery operation is it brightness and optimal resolution the nebula projectors the nebula lineup from anchor and let me know actually let me know in the comments what would you prioritize is portability more important or do you want all the lumens and all the resolutionwe got some new nebula products from anchor these things are very convenient portable projectors which actually the image quality is quite surprising they're truly portable giant screens
