XGIMI Elfin Flip Projectors Move Up to Triple Laser

The Elfin Flip 4K and Elfin Flip Laser retain the folding design of the original projector, with a 150-degree adjustable stand that doubles as a carrying handle and closes over the lens when not in use. Both are designed to be moved easily between rooms, although neither product specification lists a built-in battery, meaning a power outlet is still required.

The more ambitious Elfin Flip 4K combines a claimed 1600 ISO lumens with a 3840 x 2160-pixel image and RGB triple-laser light source. That represents a major step up from the original LED-based Elfin Flip, which offered Full HD resolution and 400 ISO lumens.

XGIMI claims the new 4K model covers 110% of the BT.2020 colour gamut, with colour accuracy below Delta E 1 and a dynamic contrast ratio of up to 20,000:1. HDR10 and HLG are supported, although there is no Dolby Vision listed among the available formats.

A 0.98–1.3:1 optical zoom provides more placement flexibility than the fixed lens found on many small projectors, while the Elfin Flip 4K can produce images measuring between 40 and 200 inches. XGIMI’s ISA 5.0 setup system includes automatic focus and keystone correction, screen alignment, obstacle avoidance and wall-colour adaptation.

Gaming support is another point of separation. The Elfin Flip 4K supports Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode, with XGIMI claiming input lag as low as 1ms when running at 1080p and 120Hz. Black equalisation and optional virtual crosshairs are also included, pushing the projector beyond the usual casual-gaming feature set found in compact models.

The more affordable Elfin Flip Laser retains the same claimed 1600 ISO-lumen output and RGB triple-laser technology but lowers the native resolution to 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is claimed that the dynamic contrast ratio drops to 10,000:1, while the lens uses a fixed 1.2:1 throw ratio rather than optical zoom.

It also lacks the 4K model’s VRR and ALLM support, with XGIMI quoting an input lag of 20ms at 1080p/60Hz. Automatic focus, uninterrupted keystone correction, eye protection and assisted screen alignment remain part of the package.

Both projectors run Google TV, providing integrated access to Netflix, Prime Video and other streaming services without requiring an external player. Each also includes 64GB of storage, 2GB of RAM and a single 7W Harman Kardon speaker with Dolby Audio support. That should be adequate for casual viewing, although XGIMI’s suggestion that it removes the need for external audio may be optimistic for anything approaching a proper home cinema experience.

Connectivity is stronger on the 4K model, which provides two HDMI inputs, including one with eARC, two USB 2.0 ports and a separate audio output. It also moves to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The Full HD model has one HDMI eARC input, one USB port, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1.

The Elfin Flip 4K measures 254 x 245 x 78mm and weighs 1.55kg, while the Elfin Flip Laser is slightly thinner and lighter at 254 x 245 x 75mm and 1.38kg. XGIMI officially launched the pair on 15 July 2026 with pricing listed at £869 | US$999, while the Elfin Flip Laser costs £689 | US$799.
