Portable projectors are great for convenience, but they usually require a massive compromise on picture quality. XGIMI is looking to change that narrative.

The company just announced a major expansion to its Elfin Flip lineup, introducing two new models: the Elfin Flip Laser and the new flagship Elfin Flip 4K.

By bringing RGB Triple Laser technology and premium Harman Kardon audio into a slim, book-sized chassis, XGIMI is bridging the gap between casual lifestyle streaming and dedicated home theatre performance.

Room-to-Room Cinematic Performance

The star of the show is undoubtedly the Elfin Flip 4K. Weighing just 1.55 kg (3.4 lbs) and measuring under 10 inches wide, this isn’t just a casual travel gadget—it’s a performance-class machine designed to move effortlessly from your living room to your bedroom.

The Specs That Matter:

• The Engine: Powered by an RGB Triple Laser light source.

• Brightness & Contrast: Pushes 1,600 ISO lumens with a staggering 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

• Colour Accuracy: Covers 110% of the BT.2020 colour space with a professional-grade colour accuracy of ΔE<1.

• Optical Zoom: Features a flexible 0.98–1.3:1 throw ratio, letting you resize the screen perfectly without physically moving the projector.

XGIMI has also brought back its signature flip-to-start interaction. You pick it up, place it down, and flip it open. The upgraded Intelligent Screen Adapt (ISA) tech takes care of the rest instantly, handling everything from auto-focus and uninterrupted keystone correction to obstacle avoidance and wall colour adaptation.

Next-Gen Gaming on a Projected Screen

For the first time in the Elfin lineup, casual gamers and hardcore console players alike have a reason to pay attention. The Elfin Flip 4K steps up to the plate with legitimate gaming specs:

• 1ms input lag at 1080P @ 120Hz

• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) support

• Built-in gaming tools like Black Equaliser and a Virtual Crosshair

Smart Features & Upgraded Audio

Both the Elfin Flip 4K and Elfin Flip Laser eliminate the need for external soundbars thanks to built-in 7W Harman Kardon speakers with Dolby Audio support.

On the software side, both models run Google TV natively. That means out-of-the-box, hassle-free access to Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and thousands of other streaming apps right from the jump.

The lineup now accommodates everything from budget-friendly LED streaming to top-tier 4K laser experiences. Here is how the new models stack up:

Note: The existing Elfin Flip Plus will remain in the lineup as the entry-level, LED-illuminated option for everyday streaming.
