Explore XGIMI smart, portable, laser and 4K projectors with model guidance based on published specifications, screen selection, installation, calibration and home theatre integration.
XGIMI makes smart projectors in three broad families: battery-powered portables (Vibe One, MoGo 4, MoGo 4 Laser, Halo+), a 4K ultra short throw model for living rooms (AURA 2) and 4K RGB triple-laser home projectors (HORIZON 20, HORIZON 20 Pro, HORIZON 20 Max). Brightness, not resolution, is usually the deciding factor in Indian homes. LiveInSmart helps with room assessment, screen selection, installation and calibration across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Please note: XGIMI projector demonstrations are currently not available at our experience centres. We continue to help with model selection, room planning, screen selection, installation and calibration — contact us to discuss your room.
XGIMI is a projector manufacturer known for smart projectors that run a full TV operating system on board — Google TV on most current models — with automatic focus, keystone correction and screen alignment, so the projector squares itself to the wall rather than needing manual adjustment. The current line-up spans battery-powered portables through to 4K RGB triple-laser home projectors.
Three practical reasons come up repeatedly in our installation work, and one caveat that matters more here than in colder, darker markets.
A short decision tree, then the interactive finder below it. Every branch is based on published specifications.
The same eight models, grouped by the way people actually shop.
Vibe One, MoGo 4, MoGo 4 Laser and Halo+ all run on internal batteries and weigh between 1.31 kg and 1.6 kg. See XGIMI portable projectors.
MoGo 4 Laser (portable laser), AURA 2 (hybrid laser UST) and the HORIZON 20 family (RGB triple laser). See XGIMI laser projectors.
AURA 2, HORIZON 20, HORIZON 20 Pro and HORIZON 20 Max are the native 3840 × 2160 models. See XGIMI 4K projectors.
HORIZON 20 Pro (4100 ISO lumens) and Max (5700 ISO lumens) publish 1ms input lag at 1080p240Hz. See XGIMI projectors for gaming.

XGIMI publishes brightness in ISO lumens, measured under controlled conditions. That figure is not a promise about your living room. Ambient light, wall colour, screen gain and screen size all reduce perceived contrast. Doubling screen area roughly halves the light per square inch, so a larger screen with the same projector always looks dimmer. This is the single most common reason people are disappointed by a projector they bought online.
A projector is one component. The result people actually remember comes from the whole chain: display, screen, sound, room treatment and control. This is the part LiveInSmart does day to day — see our home theatre setup guide and Dolby Atmos page.
With home automation in place, a single Movie Mode scene can dim the lights, close the curtains, drop the screen, power up the AV receiver and start playback. What can be automated depends on the projector, the automation platform and the equipment connected to it — we confirm exactly which steps are supported for your combination during system planning. See home automation.
LiveInSmart approaches projector selection as an AV system decision rather than a model-only decision:

Brightness decides this. Within the range, HORIZON 20 Max (5700 ISO lumens) and HORIZON 20 Pro (4100 ISO lumens) publish the highest figures, followed by HORIZON 20 (3200) and AURA 2 (2300). The portables sit between 250 and 700 ISO lumens and want a darkened room.
Vibe One (38.48Wh), MoGo 4 and MoGo 4 Laser (71.28Wh) and Halo+ (59.454Wh). The AURA 2 and HORIZON 20 family are mains powered.
The current models run Google TV with licensed Netflix on XGIMI's published specifications. The AURA 2 is the exception to check: XGIMI's AURA 2 spec sheet lists Android TV 11.0 while the AURA 2 (New) listing shows Google TV, so verify the operating system of the exact unit.
The mains-powered models — AURA 2 (console placement) and the HORIZON 20 family (table or ceiling) — are designed for fixed installation. The portables are designed to be placed on a surface, though a fixed mount is possible in some rooms.

A smooth matt wall works for casual viewing. A proper screen improves contrast, colour accuracy and uniformity, and an ambient-light-rejecting screen makes a large difference in a bright room — particularly with an ultra short throw projector like the AURA 2, which also needs a genuinely flat wall.
XGIMI publishes a 1-year limited warranty for MoGo 4, MoGo 4 Laser and Halo+, and a 2-year limited warranty for HORIZON 20, HORIZON 20 Pro, HORIZON 20 Max and AURA 2. Verify the warranty terms applicable to the exact model and region before making a decision.
