THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The Compact Pro G2 is a very light battery projector for short, modest-size viewing. iCODIS specifies 150 ANSI lumens and a 1.6:1 throw ratio, while its 2000-lumen marketing phrase uses no stated method. Treat the native image as WVGA with exact pixels unknown.

Consider it for

Carry-between-rooms or travel viewing when battery operation and direct device playback matter more than a large bright image or specified native pixel count.

Look elsewhere if

It is not a documented built-in streaming system, an ultra-short-throw installation, or a dependable large bright-room cinema choice; check the exact source and image size before relying on it.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • iCODIS documents a 210 g body and built-in 4000 mAh battery with up to 120 minutes of use.
  • The page separately states 150 ANSI lumens, a 1.6:1 throw ratio, and a 20–120 inch image range.
  • HDMI, USB, TF-card, and headphone connections provide several direct playback routes.

What to weigh up

  • The exact WVGA pixel count is not stated, so it cannot be assigned a numeric horizontal-resolution filter value.
  • The page's 2000-lumen phrase has no comparable test method and must not replace the 150 ANSI figure.
  • The small documented output and battery limit call for restrained image size, a dim room, and realistic session expectations.

What the features mean for you

What does WVGA mean for the projected picture?

iCODIS calls the panel native WVGA and separately says that it accepts supported input up to 1080p. Input compatibility does not turn the panel into Full HD, and the checked page does not provide an exact native pixel count. That distinction matters for small text, detailed slides, and captions: the projector can accept a higher-resolution source while still displaying the detail of its own lower-resolution imaging device. The listed picture range reaches 120 inches, but a maximum size is not a promise that fine detail or visibility will remain comfortable at that size. Start with a modest image and confirm the text at the actual viewing distance.

How useful is the built-in battery?

The page identifies a 4000 mAh battery and says playtime can reach 120 minutes. This makes the G2 easier to carry to a room without a convenient outlet than an AC-only presentation projector. It does not establish two hours for every brightness setting, file, temperature, or aged battery, so buyers should treat the figure as a model claim rather than a guarantee for a used unit. A full movie with setup time may exceed the stated upper duration. The product is only 210 g, which reduces carrying burden, but its small size does not remove the need to manage charging and runtime.

Will it fit the wall or screen placement?

iCODIS gives a 1.6:1 throw ratio, manual focus, and a 20–120 inch diagonal range. That is conventional projection distance, not a lens designed to sit beside the wall. Measure from the lens to the surface and check the expected image width before mounting or buying a shelf. Automatic vertical keystone correction up to plus or minus 30 degrees can square some tilted images, but digital correction does not change the throw distance or create optical lens shift. A large correction can also reduce the usable image area. Place the projector near the centerline when possible and use keystone as a limited adjustment.

Which brightness figure should guide expectations?

The specification block says 2000 lumens without identifying a method, while the same page later specifies 150 ANSI lumens. Those numbers are not interchangeable. The profile uses the named ANSI figure for comparable matching and preserves the other phrase only as an unqualified claim. At 150 ANSI lumens, a dark room and a moderate image are more sensible starting conditions than a sunlit room or very large screen. Room light, surface reflectance, focus, and the individual unit's condition still affect the result. The source reports a 20,000-hour lamp-life figure, but it cannot establish remaining life or brightness on any particular listing.

What can connect without an extra platform?

The page lists HDMI, USB, TF-card, and an earphone jack. iCODIS says USB playback supports video, photos, and music but not Microsoft Office files. That makes a stored compatible movie or image file a different workflow from presenting a slide deck. HDMI can accept an external media device, but the page does not establish a built-in streaming operating system or apps; phone use may require a compatible adapter. The earphone connection offers a wired audio option. Confirm file formats and the exact cable direction before travel, because a compact body does not make every phone or streaming service plug-and-play.

What else to compare

Choose an AC-powered presentation projector for longer sessions or a model with a documented higher ANSI rating for a larger image; the G2's distinction is battery portability.

Before you buy

Is the Compact Pro G2 native Full HD?

No. The iCODIS page labels its native format WVGA; support for 1080p input does not establish a Full HD imaging panel.

Which brightness number is comparable?

The page states 150 ANSI lumens; its separate 2000-lumen phrase gives no measurement method and is not used for matching.

Can it run unplugged for every two-hour movie?

iCODIS says up to 120 minutes from its built-in battery, but runtime on an aged or particular unit is not guaranteed.

The decision

Choose the Compact Pro G2 when its very low carry weight, battery, and direct USB/HDMI workflow outweigh its small WVGA image and modest ANSI output.
