hey guys EBPMAN here today want to review what i believe is probably the smallest pico projector that we’ve seen in the channel this projector is brought to us by ICODIS let’s check it out now the protective we’re going to be reviewing is the ICODIS CB 100S and this is a mini portable projector that not only is compact in size and you’re probably saying hey where is it will watch this there it is so literally it is virtually the size of my samsung galaxy s7 you notice the dimensions here and just slightly thicker so if i had maybe a bigger case on the phone they probably compete when it comes to size so very compact and very portable now it’s not the highest resolution projector and available on the market but it solves a specific niche and want to talk about the features what’s included in the max and we’ll see the playback and you’ll see why I’m so excited about this tiny projector now inside the box going to find your projector you do have a power cord and micro USB charging cable you have a tripod a little travel pouch user guide and warranty card so not taking a look at the specs for a brief moment first of all the projector is using DLP technology it does have android 4.

4 embedded in the unit contracts ratio of a thousand-to-one it has a quad-core 1.

3 gigahertz processor it does have a lower resolution so this is going to be a 480p resolution projector and i would say a lot of that has to do with the compact nature of the projector itself but it’s still very valuable and you’ll see that it’s in the review as we go through it it does have multiple inputs media cards USB and we’re going to see that in a couple seconds and the light sources led one of the things I found pretty interesting about the solution is that it does have output of hdmi and also has output for a headphone so the hdmi output transforms this little box that you see right here almost into an android TV box and we’ll see how that works just a few minutes the projection size is pretty outstanding because it could go anywhere from 10 inches to a hundred inches in size and it does powered by micro USB charging cable and it does have an onboard battery so that’s also something that you’re going to get at least like an hour and a half of battery use from the device itself now the other thing I think it’s pretty cool outside of the size which is really light at 270 grams and great lamp hour battery life is the fact that it auto Keystone so Keystone is when you’re projecting an image against the wall and it kind of looks like it’s an angle it will automatically adjust itself so it looks flat and doesn’t look kind of lopsided on the projection on the wall that your projection out so it’s it takes care of that automatically so very decent specs for such a small device that literally would fit in your bed pocket in your front pocket or just you know in a briefcase if you’re going somewhere you want to have a full android-powered projector that little you can connect the keyboard to it or anything or watch movies and that’s what we’re going to see now so now as you saw during the initial unboxing or just the intro the projectors really small it’s literally the size of an iphone it’s also the size of a samsung galaxy s7 edge and it does have here in the front some controls that you’re going to be able to use to navigate you could because it has multiple inputs you could connect a USB keyboard or one of those wireless key words to it as well so taking a look at the front here you have your controls and they’re all touch controls you’ll see them light up in a second on the side here you do have your hdmi out which allows you to connect this to a television a microUSB actually a microSD slot USB micro USB for charging and then here’s your power area and this side there’s really nothing here except your focus on the front you’ll see is event the area as well as your this is where your projection is coming out on the bottom here you do have where you can use that tripod to raise it and then you have this little arm that comes up that was going to give you the ability to place an angle if you’d like if you wanted to paint pointed up now besides that there’s really nothing else to this it’s really straightforward and the last thing I wanted to highlight is that you do have a headphone jack there once again if you’re projecting it against something and then plug in your headphones directly into the out up there it is so here you have what the screen looks like as you can see the colors are very vibrant i’ll try to make sure that keep it without moving you do have Cody pre-installed you do you have netflix you have browser capabilities you have skype capabilities and it’s a full android operating system not the most current a operating system but it’s still supports our most of the app it’s not all the apps that are on the market place right now so as you can see nice display great color and even though I do have one light source on I’m getting good color quality and brightness out of the unit one of things i wanted to show you is the keystone so watch how I as I put the projector an angle how it auto adjust let’s go ahead and do that again will bring it this way you can see how it’s auto adjusting I’m just moving it and I as i continue to move to the just so that’s what the auto Keystone feature does and again this is going to allow you if you can be projected on a wall on a ceiling if you’re in a camper wherever you’re taking this with you’ll be able to get a flat image now once the projectors on the other thing i want to show you is that the control screen here the buttons light up that allow you to navigate up down left right these are going to also serve as your volume control buttons you do have a backhand home button here so this really eliminates the need of having anything else with you but their software included that allows you to use your phone as a remote or once again you can connect something via bluetooth to the side alright so let’s go ahead and take a look at the interface and see what things look like here so things are broken down into four main categories as you can see in the top of the screen and I pretty much shut down most lights except for light source behind me yes you can appreciate the brightness and the kind of image you’re going to get and what I’m looking at is probably about a 32 inch screen at this time so what we’re gonna do is just saw it from from left to right you have an appt center this app center does have the standard Google Play Store app store it does also have gmail it does have miracast so this is going to allow you to connect both what your android phone as well as your iphone so you can actually do screen sharing you do have a video player as well a lot of you playing software capabilities as well as if we go to the to the other area we’re going to smart apps here’s where you having all the apps are getting installed it does kind of have a custom skin to it so even though it’s using android 4.

4 you do see kind of like this custom skin interface here so i’m using actual a wireless keyboard that has a mouse pointer on it just to make things a little bit easier I just wanted to give you kind of a sense of you know the kind of apps that are installed to see what’s there and what’s not pretty much it’s any apps on the app store that’s been installed it does come with you to pre-install the times come on facebook and it does also have an asian market place as well and there is kind of like an office application that’s available there as well so now let’s take a look at the settings area so what we’ll do is we’ll just come into the Wi-Fi area here you can see the Wi-Fi with that you connect the two as well as many at existing open Wi-Fi access points that you can choose you can set up your Bluetooth you can set this up as a portable hotspot do you have here your display and this area you’re going to be able to adjust the font going to be able to adjust the brightness color temperature it does have the ability to do rearview projection to see it will basically flip the image for you and it does have key stoning and like we saw where it does the auto key stoning as we moving to a TV and stand will take a look at see what’s in there I’m here you have a lot of the settings that you would mess with that are part of the standard android operating system have been cleaned up for you so you can access that and then manipulate anything you’ve seen here that’s important to you now device on info just going to give you build information and you know just device serial numbers clear is going to allow you to clean up the overall memory so I like that it has that as well now let’s talk about video because this is what it’s all about now you have netflix built-in you have facebook you have YouTube one of things i really like from cord cutter perspectives Cody now the version of cody that comes pre-installed version 14 1i went ahead and updated it’s a quote e16 one and we’re going to do is go ahead and select that it immediately just overwrote it replaced it and i also configured it so it does come with cody pre-installed but again 14 that one and it doesn’t have any of the add-ons but it’s really easy to find the add-ons online and just choose it now again once you start using Cody Cody for those of you who are not aware is a and applications a media center application then with add-ons gives you the ability to download content off of the internet and one of the most powerful apps or add-ons that are available is this ad on here that is known as Exodus i will go into Exodus and exodus is going to give you access to several things it’s gonna give you access to movies TV shows will go into TV shows for a second you can see the most popular TV shows you can see TV shows are going to be hearing today and it really gives you that cord cutter experience you can see these are all the TV shows shows that are available and you can choose any TV show and start playing so if I choose this TV show westworld which happens to be a popular one now i can see that it’s broken down by every by season then also by each episode if i choose one of the episodes all i do is i select on it and once I select that it’s going to go through and try to source the video this is what Cody does and with this android being projector combine it just gives you that media experience where you don’t have to connect it to your phone to see a movie you don’t have to connect to your phone to watch netflix everything is self-contained and it’s going to give you a full media experience so now we’re going to do is going to just let this source the movie and then once it pops up we’ll come back and show you how I place now once your Cody choices come up just going to choose one of them so that we can get the movie playing or in this case a TV show it’s about streaming so it’s going to go out to the internet is going to find the content and then it’s going to start to play and again this is just to give you kind of a sense of what kind of video quality going to get out remember 240p not 720 and that 1080 so the quality of it is adequate for device of this type and what I’m going to do is just fast forward so that you can see playback gonna come all the way down here and then what I’m going to do is I’m just going to see if we can fast-forward to the tow this gives you kind of a sense of you know what kind of video quality you’re going to have and again 4a projector of this size something that’s so pocketable you’re getting some are standing quality and it also has an 8 watt speaker so while it’s not adequate for very large settings you can connect bluetooth speakers to it or for personal settings you can connect the bluetooth speaker or bluetooth headphone as well as that you can connect to the headphone jack to actually see or listen to it for personal viewing alright so now things look a little different and that’s because I’ve connected it to my TV and i’m using the hdmi out that’s built into the projector so now the projectors turned into a smart TV box which is again outstanding so now if I go down and I go into Cody again and i’m just going to go ahead and select it down there let’s go i’ll select Exodus now that I’ve selected the stream you can see the constant coming across and it looks pretty good this concludes my review of the I code is pocket projector if you have any comments or questions leave in the comment area below if you like the video give it a thumbs up if you see the
