Our Verdict
Anker Nebula Mars 3
Anker Nebula P1
The Anker Nebula Mars 3 is better than the Anker Nebula P1 if your intended use is to take your projector out into the dirt and mud, as the Mars 3 has water, dust and drop resistance built-in. It also comes with a large integrated battery, which the P1 doesn't have. Finally, the Mars 3 is brighter, making it easier to use in various conditions. But if you're instead looking for the best image quality, the P1 has the slight edge due to its better contrast. It doesn't come with a battery, but you can buy one as a bundle directly from Anker. Also, the P1 is far better for gaming due to its far lower input lag.
