WZATCO, a relatively new name in the Indian projector market, launched two smart projectors on July 8, 2026: the Legend GT and the Blaze Max. Both are available through the WZATCO website and Amazon India during the Prime Day sale. The company is positioning them as affordable options for home entertainment enthusiasts, promising official Google TV, Wi-Fi 6, and auto-focus at competitive prices.
What you get for the price
The Blaze Max is priced at ₹24,990, while the flagship Legend GT costs ₹30,990. Both are introductory offers — the exact duration of the Prime Day pricing isn't specified, but it's described as a limited-time deal. WZATCO says the bundle includes accessories worth ₹3,998, though the company has not detailed what those accessories are. Warranty details and service center locations were not disclosed either, which is a potential concern given WZATCO's limited brand presence in India.
Common features across both models
- Official Google TV with Google Assistant and Chromecast built-in
- Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0
- Google Quick Setup, auto focus, and automatic keystone correction
Legend GT specifics: high brightness, large screen
The Legend GT is the more powerful of the two, claiming 2500 ANSI lumens and the ability to cast an image up to 250 inches. It includes 20W dual stereo speakers, intelligent auto focus, automatic keystone correction, auto screen fit, and what WZATCO calls a "Premium Sealed Optical Engine" for dust protection.
That brightness figure — 2500 ANSI lumens at ₹30,990 — stands out. For comparison, Xiaomi's Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro offers roughly 800-1200 ANSI lumens at a similar or higher price point, and Epson's EF-100 laser projector reaches 2000+ lumens but costs ₹60,000 or more. WZATCO either found a way to offer unusual value, or the measurement may be non-standard. Without independent benchmarks, it's hard to verify.
Blaze Max specifics: convenience-focused
The Blaze Max includes dedicated shortcut buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with multiple picture and sound modes. Connectivity options include HDMI, USB, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm audio output. It also has a removable side cover for dust cleaning — a small but practical touch for the Indian environment. The Blaze Max's brightness is not specified in the brief, so it's likely lower than the Legend GT.
How it compares to the competition
WZATCO is entering a market dominated by established brands like Xiaomi, BenQ, and Epson. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 series offers similar smart features and a trusted service network, but generally at lower brightness. BenQ's GV30 and GS50 prioritize color accuracy and brand reliability, but their 300-500 ANSI lumens are far lower and prices are higher. Epson's laser projectors deliver high brightness but cost two to three times more and lack Google TV. That puts WZATCO in an interesting spot: it's undercutting the premium options while promising specs that beat mid-range ones. But the lack of a proven track record and service infrastructure is a real drawback.
What we still don't know
Several details were left out of the announcement:
- Processor model, RAM, and storage (key for Google TV performance)
- Exact brightness of the Blaze Max
- Lamp life and warranty terms
- Service center locations in India
- What's actually in the ₹3,998 accessory bundle
These are important bits of information for anyone considering a purchase, especially from a new brand. WZATCO's founder and CEO, Komaldeep Sodhi, said in the announcement that the projectors are "built for the Indian consumer, combining premium features with affordability." That's a marketing statement — the specs do look compelling on paper, but real-world performance and support remain unknown.
Analysis
The Legend GT's 2500 ANSI lumens claim at ₹30,990 is the headline figure, and it deserves skepticism. High-lumen projectors in this price range usually come from brands with little reputation, and the measurement can be misleading (peak versus average, or different testing standards). It's entirely possible the projector will look dimmer in practice than the number suggests, especially with ambient light.
Beyond brightness, the bigger risk is software support. Google TV on third-party devices often stops receiving updates after two or three years, which could leave buyers stuck with an unpatched OS and broken app compatibility. WZATCO hasn't mentioned any update commitment.
Amazon Prime Day is a powerful sales channel, but it also means returns and refunds fall on Amazon's policies, not a local service center. For early adopters willing to take a chance, the price is tempting. For anyone who wants peace of mind, waiting for professional reviews and checking warranty terms before buying is the safer move.
