Introduction

I would like to thank XGIMI for supplying the sample.


XIGMI is making inroads in the North American market with their range of projectors, from the portable Mogo to the 4K capable Horizon Pro. The XGIMI Elfin we are reviewing today is on the lower end of the price spectrum, clocking in at $650, which is actually $50 less than the more portable but less capable Mogo Pro+.

Packaging and Contents

The XGIMI Elfin ships in a white box that looks very similar to what you would expect when buying a modern cell phone these days. There is very little writing to distract from the product with the partner logos clearly visible for an added boost of clout and recognition. On the rear, once again much like mobile phone companies, you will find the serial number and required certification logos.


Once opened up, the XGIMI Elfin is secured at the center of a cardboard tray with a foam pad glued to the top of the box. A clear foil with a warning not to look directly at the lens of the unit when it is turned on has been placed on it.


The PSU is the same as for the Mogo Pro+ and delivers 3.42 A, which unfortunately is beyond the 3 A a USB-C implementation could deliver. Thus, a classic power brick makes sense, and the provided power brick is both sturdy and quite compact.


The same holds true for the remote as it is the same as for the Mogo Pro+ as well. It uses Bluetooth and has a bit of a triangular shape to it, which makes it very comfortable to hold. In the front is a good set of buttons to navigate the Android TV interface easily. In the center is the colorful Google Assistant button. The remote takes two AAA batteries and even has a built-in toggle to use the angled up/down buttons for either volume or focus.


A thick multi-language manual and some additional pamphlets round out the contents of the XGIMI Elfin.
