With the 2026 World Cup kicking off this week, football fans can now enjoy matches on a big screen without breaking the bank. The Wielio 2026 New Smart Projector is currently available on Amazon for £89.99, a significant discount from its original price of £179.99. This Android-powered projector has been praised by users as 'perfect for watching live sports'.
Features and Performance
Running on the latest Android 14 smart system, the projector allows direct one-click app downloads and smooth online streaming. It comes with a built-in exclusive App Store, eliminating the need for additional phones, laptops, or streaming devices. Users can instantly access mainstream platforms like YouTube and Prime Video, unlocking over one million FHD high-definition video resources. This transforms any indoor or outdoor space into a private home cinema.
The projector delivers immersive cinema-level audio and visual enjoyment, presenting 'sharp, delicate and lifelike images with rich colour saturation'. For optimal viewing, it is recommended to use the projector at night or in dimly lit surroundings. It is equipped with dual upgraded WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 technology, supporting one-click wireless screen mirroring for phones, tablets, and other devices. Additionally, the compact projector features a 360° adjustable bracket, allowing it to adapt to walls, projection screens, and spaces of different sizes.
Customer Reviews
The Wielio 2026 New Smart Projector has received an overall average rating of 4.5 out of five stars on Amazon. One five-star reviewer titled their feedback 'Transformed My Bedroom into a Private Cinema – Absolutely Love It!!' They continued: 'One of my favourite experiences was curling up in bed and projecting a movie onto the ceiling using the 120° adjustable stand. It felt like a luxury theatre experience without leaving my room. The auto keystone correction worked flawlessly, even at odd angles, and the zoom feature helped me fit the screen perfectly to my space... It's perfect for weekend movie marathons, live sports, or even using fitness apps in the morning.'
Another customer wrote: 'Whether we're watching movies, sports, or playing games, the experience with a big screen is fantastic. It has excellent brightness for a projector, delivering clear images and smooth video playback. With the 5G Wi-Fi, the connection is stable, and we haven't experienced any disconnections while streaming videos. What's even more convenient is its small size, making it easy to move to the bedroom or use outdoors. That's super convenient. I'll share more about my experience with it in future.'
A third reviewer said: 'Honestly, didn't expect much for the price, but this little projector is brilliant. Set-up took minutes, the apps run smoothly, and phone mirroring works without any fuss. Picture quality is sharp, colours pop, and it's bright enough even in the day with curtains drawn. At night it feels like a mini cinema.'
Criticisms
Some users noted drawbacks. One reviewer mentioned: 'If using indoors, it would be a good little projector, but not suitable for outside use until it gets dark. I returned the projector and replaced it with something with a higher ANSI brightness value.' Another customer stated: 'The unit is ok, but it does have issues with certain apps. For example, when playing content from Disney+, the video appears too dark. I have found no way to adjust this. In fact, we have reverted to our previous projector because of this issue. For the price we paid for the unit, I think that it should have video adjustment settings built in to allow gamma control etc. But alas, not so.'
Alternatives
Shoppers looking for other options can consider the Acer AOPEN QH15s Portable Projector from Argos for £99.99, which features HD resolution, a maximum projected image size of 100 inches, and a 3-watt speaker. Alternatively, Currys offers the Philips NeoPix 130 Smart HD Ready Home Cinema Projector in 'arctic white' for £159, with a screen size of up to 70 inches and pre-installed streaming apps like Disney+ and Netflix.
With over 1,000 units sold in the past month, the Wielio projector remains a popular choice for those seeking an affordable home cinema experience ahead of the World Cup.
