Xgimi doesn’t seem to tire of launching more projectors and we bring news of of another two to keep track of.
The Flip series is being expanded with the Elfin Flip Laser and Elfin Flip 4K joining the range, as Xgimi looks to widen the range of portable home entertainment experiences its offers, while also upgrading both “optical performance and audio experience”, with RGB Triple Laser tech and Hardon Kardon tuned sound.
Xgimi states that the Elfin Flip 4K is meant for travel or intended to be a “casual streaming device”, like its MoGo series. It describes it as a “performance-class” home projector, weighing 1.55kg and measures about 25cm wide, ensuring it can be transported between the rooms of your home, producing a “full cinematic” experience wherever you choose to place it.
The Flip 4K is powered by a 4K RGB Triple Laser engine that can deliver 1600 ISO lumens of brightness, 110% of the BT.2020 colour gamut and a Delta E of less than 1 colour accuracy, the kind of specs you don’t often see for home projectors such as this.
For those who want a simple installation, Xgimi’s Intelligent Screen Adapt (ISA) can get the picture ready automatically, with smart features such as Uninterrupted Auto Keystone, Auto Focus, Intelligent Screen Alignment, Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance, Wall Colour Adaptation, and Intelligent Eye Protection ensuring you get the best image for the space the projector is in.
The Flip 4K is also made with gamers in mind, as Xgimi says it can deliver input lag at less than 1ms at 1080p/120Hz, and it packs in VRR and ALLM support. The Elfin Flip Laser doesn’t feature the same level of gaming support, and the resolution takes a hit, dropping down to 1080p.
Both projectors feature a 7W Harman Kardon speaker that Xgimi says can deliver a room-filling sound experience that “eliminates the need for external audio equipment” (that’s a big claim). There’s also Google TV for entertainment, offering nearly all the apps (for the UK, we’ll assume that iPlayer and Channel 4 are still missing).
Availability for both projectors starts July 15th on the Xgimi website, with availability on Amazon starting July 22nd. Prices for the Elfin Flip 4K is $999 / £869, with the Elfin Flip Laser at $799 / £689.
