Putrims K12
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Putrims K12 is a portable smart projector delivering 1500 ANSI lumens and integrated Google TV for easy streaming. It sacrifices true 4K resolution and has modest built-in audio, making it best for budget-conscious home and backyard use.
The Dxyiitoo Native 1080P projector offers true Full HD resolution, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and a portable form factor suitable for backyard movies. Its actual brightness of 480 ANSI lumens and audible fan limit performance in well-lit environments. Ideal for budget-conscious families seeking a lightweight projector for dark-room or outdoor use.

Professional reviewers such as YouTube's Jeff Keenan commend the Dxyiitoo for its bright, sharp image in dim environments, native 1080P resolution, dual HDMI connectivity and travel-friendly size. However, they criticize the loud fan and the gap between the advertised 12,000 lm brightness and the measured 480 ANSI lumens, which limits its usefulness in brighter settings.
Everyday users love the straightforward setup, decent built-in speakers and the ability to project large images for family gatherings or backyard movies. The most common complaints revolve around noticeable fan noise and the projector's brightness falling short of marketing claims, especially in well-lit rooms.
Professional reviewers consider the Putrims K12 a strong value proposition, emphasizing its genuine 1500 ANSI lumen output, sharp 1080p scaling from 4K sources, and the convenience of built-in Google TV with WiFi 6. They commend its auto-focus, keystone correction, and voice control for effortless setup, while noting the lack of native 4K, modest built-in audio, and average black-level performance as trade-offs for its price tier.
Everyday users praise the K12 for its easy, plug-and-play experience, bright enough picture in low-light settings, and seamless streaming via Google TV, making it a popular choice for family movie nights and casual gaming. Recurring complaints focus on the quiet built-in speakers, fan noise, reduced brightness in full daylight, and occasional Wi-Fi instability.
