Appearance

The S3 has a round shape with a white-coloured glossy surface. It’s not the typical squared shape of a case you normally find in traditional projector designs. On the perimeter of the case, you can find a series of ventilation slots for keeping the unit cool, as well as additional venting located in the base to let the extra heat out of the case.

Interfaces

On the rear side of the S3 projector, you have the power button, DC input, SPDIF, 4x USB 2.0 Ports, OTG including three video input interfaces: HDMI, AV, VGA.


Operation

It was not hard to figure it out and to understand how to operate the device. Adjusting projector brightness and contrast settings, calibrating the shape of the picture are done through Android settings and also use the projector settings screen, which is more intuitive and user-friendly.

In the IR remote control unit, you will find all the projector functions. There are no other operating buttons on the projector unit itself, except the power button, which, in a user perspective, is very limiting. On the back of the device, there are three optional types of video input sources: VGA, HDMI, and AV to be used by external devices to pass the signal through the S3 unit.

If for some reason you need to switch back to default projector mode from one of the video source inputs, and you lost the remote, then you are in a big problem switching back to projector mode. After clarifying this limitation, The S3 remote offers additional basic functions such as fly mouse using the navigation keys. Still, for something more convenient, it’s highly recommended buying an excellent remote control with fly mouse functions that are easier to operate.

Controlling Picture Settings

Depending on the distance of the unit from the wall, the viewable projected image size is approximately 15–300 inches (diagonal) within a range of 0.5-8m. To control the picture settings, you have a vertical and horizontal keystone correction button located on the remote control and can also adjust through the projector settings screen. This function helps the user to correct the image shape in situations when the unit is not fully aligned relative to the wall.


System & UI

The default ROM installed with the S3 came bundled with a few pre-installed popular applications such as UC TV, Kingsoft Office suite, WiPao Cloud, HDP live (live-streaming service) and a few others, relevant to Chinese users.

For this review, I received a new customized Firmware in the English language with Google Play Store, access which isn’t included in the default firmware since google services are blocked in China. That said, from first impression playing with its device run applications and games under Android 4.4 KitKat OS very smooth and fast without issues.

Hardware & Benchmark

As mentioned previously, the S3 Hardware platform is based on the Allwinner H8 and PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. CPU-Z Application for some strange reason misreported the hardware as a dual-core Allwinner A23 SoC which isn’t correct.

Hardware performed well running under Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS. It’s also important to mention that each CPU core operates at a clock frequency between 480 MHz – 1.80 GHz and not all always operate simultaneously; those that work dynamically depending on consumed system resources.

Picture Quality

My impression after playing with the projector for a few days in a completely dark and semi-dark environment is that the product works extremely well, providing good quality image; even when the brightness level is on 50% the picture was clear and sharp. The only downside of this product is that to change the focus when placing the unit in different distances from the well you need to do it “manually” using the focus wheel located on the front side of the S3 Unit.


Final verdict

The S3 is a great product. I enjoyed using it for watching YouTube and streaming movies. Device performance, sound, picture quality were all good. The external round shape is something you may need to get used to, but overall it’s an excellent product. For further details, you are welcome to contact the company (contact card below).

Accessibility Statement

  • www.androidpimp.com
  • September 10, 2025

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

  1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

    These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

  2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

  1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
  3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
  6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
  7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
