XGIMI has officially entered the Malaysian market, bringing along a broad projector lineup that ranges from compact portable models to high-end 4K home cinema systems. Rather than focusing on a single category, the company appears to be targeting several different types of users—from people who want a projector for casual weekend entertainment to those planning a full-scale home theatre setup.
The initial Malaysian range includes the Vibe One, Elfin Flip Plus, MoGo 4 Series, Aura 2 and Horizon 20 Series. Prices begin at RM1,499 and climb to RM13,999, giving XGIMI a presence across several projector segments.
Vibe One Brings Entertainment Anywhere
The most affordable model in the lineup is the Vibe One, a compact cylindrical projector designed around portability and flexibility.
Its integrated stand can be adjusted by up to 160 degrees, allowing the projector to point towards a wall, ceiling or another suitable surface without requiring a separate tripod. This could make it useful in bedrooms, smaller apartments or temporary entertainment setups where users may not want to permanently install a projector.
The Vibe One also includes two 3W JBL speakers, meaning users do not necessarily need to connect an external speaker for casual viewing. When it is not being used for projection, the device can function as a Bluetooth speaker.
Its built-in battery offers up to approximately 1.2 hours of playback. That may be enough for shorter viewing sessions, presentations or individual television episodes, although longer films will probably require access to a power outlet.
At RM1,499, the Vibe One serves as the most accessible entry point into XGIMI's Malaysian projector ecosystem.
Elfin Flip Plus Offers a More Traditional Design
Those looking for something slightly larger and more conventional may prefer the Elfin Flip Plus.
Unlike the cylindrical Vibe One, the Elfin Flip Plus uses a flatter, square-shaped body that should be easier to position on a desk, shelf or bedside table. It also comes with a built-in 160-degree adjustable stand, allowing users to change the projection angle without moving the entire unit.
The projector delivers content in Full HD resolution, making it better suited to users who want a clearer image for films, streaming content and general entertainment but do not necessarily require a 4K system.
Its foldable and adjustable design also makes it relatively easy to move between rooms. For Malaysian households where one projector may be shared between the living room, bedroom and other spaces, that flexibility could be one of its strongest advantages.
The Elfin Flip Plus is priced at RM2,399.
MoGo 4 Series Adds Google TV and Longer Battery Life
Moving further up the range, the MoGo 4 Series is available in two versions: the standard MoGo 4 and the more advanced MoGo 4 Laser.
The main difference lies in the projection technology. The regular MoGo 4 uses an LED light source, while the MoGo 4 Laser uses XGIMI's triple-laser system. The laser model is intended to deliver stronger brightness and colour performance, although the actual viewing experience will still depend heavily on the room's lighting conditions and the surface being used.
Both versions feature a rotating design that can move through 360 degrees. This gives users greater freedom when projecting onto different surfaces and may reduce the need for additional stands or mounting accessories.
Battery life is rated at up to 2.5 hours, which is considerably more practical for watching a full-length movie away from a wall socket. The built-in speakers are tuned by Harman Kardon, while Google TV support provides direct access to streaming apps and online entertainment services.
The standard MoGo 4 is priced at RM2,999, while the MoGo 4 Laser costs RM3,999. For users who value portability but still want a more complete smart projector experience, these two models may represent the most balanced options in the range.
Aura 2 Targets Dedicated Home Cinema Setups
The Aura 2 moves XGIMI into a very different category. Instead of being designed primarily for portability, it is an ultra-short-throw projector intended to remain in a living room or home theatre environment.
It can produce an image measuring up to 120 inches while being positioned approximately 12 inches from the wall. This makes it an attractive alternative to ceiling-mounted projectors, particularly in homes where routing cables or installing permanent mounting hardware may not be practical.
Its ultra-short-throw design also means people can walk around the room without constantly blocking the image or casting large shadows across the screen.
The Aura 2 has a native 4K resolution and includes Dolby Vision support. However, as with many projectors, the real-world HDR experience will depend on factors such as screen quality, room darkness, calibration and the content being played. A specification badge alone does not always guarantee the same visual impact users may expect from a high-end television.
One useful addition is HDMI eARC support, which allows the projector to send high-quality audio to compatible soundbars and home theatre systems through a single HDMI connection.
At RM13,999, the Aura 2 is the most expensive product in XGIMI's Malaysian launch lineup and is clearly aimed at buyers building a more permanent large-screen entertainment system.
Horizon 20 Series Combines 4K Entertainment and Gaming
The Horizon 20 Series appears to be one of the centrepieces of XGIMI's Malaysian introduction.
It uses the company's X-Master triple-laser technology and can produce a 4K image measuring up to 300 inches under suitable conditions. While that maximum size is impressive on paper, brightness, screen quality and viewing distance will ultimately determine how practical such a large image is in a normal home.
One of its most useful features is automatic keystone correction. When the projector is moved or its angle changes, the system can automatically adjust the image to restore a properly aligned rectangular picture.
That may sound like a small convenience, but it can make a major difference for users who frequently reposition their projector. Manual keystone adjustment can be frustrating, especially when the projector is being used temporarily rather than installed in a fixed location.
The Horizon 20 Series also supports HDMI eARC for simplified home theatre connectivity. Its claimed 1ms input latency additionally positions it as a projector suitable for gaming, where delayed controls can otherwise make fast-paced games feel unresponsive.
At RM8,499, the Horizon 20 Series sits below the Aura 2 in price but targets users who want a more conventional long-throw projector with strong entertainment and gaming capabilities.
XGIMI Malaysia Pricing
The Malaysian prices announced for the initial lineup are:
This pricing structure gives buyers several clear upgrade paths. Someone starting with a basic portable projector can choose the Vibe One, while those wanting improved battery life, smart features and stronger audio can move towards the MoGo 4 Series. The Horizon 20 Series and Aura 2 then address the more demanding home entertainment market.
More Choices for Malaysia's Growing Projector Market
Projectors have traditionally been associated with business presentations, classrooms and dedicated cinema rooms. However, smaller smart projectors have made the category more accessible to everyday consumers.
For Malaysian users, portable projectors can be particularly useful in apartments, rented homes and multipurpose rooms where installing a very large television may not be convenient. A projector can also be stored away when it is not being used, allowing the room to remain flexible.
That convenience still comes with compromises. Projectors generally perform best in darker environments, and the advertised image size may not always reflect the most comfortable real-world viewing experience. Buyers should also consider replacement parts, warranty support, app compatibility, brightness and after-sales service before choosing a model based solely on resolution.
Final Thoughts
XGIMI's official arrival in Malaysia introduces a surprisingly complete lineup rather than a cautious launch with only one or two models.
The Vibe One and Elfin Flip Plus focus on simplicity and portability, while the MoGo 4 Series adds longer battery life, Google TV and more capable audio. The Horizon 20 Series targets users who want a flexible 4K projector for movies and gaming, while the Aura 2 is positioned as a premium ultra-short-throw home cinema solution.
The range gives Malaysian consumers more options, but the best choice will depend less on the largest advertised screen size and more on how the projector will actually be used. Room brightness, available space, viewing habits and audio requirements are likely to matter just as much as the specifications printed on the box.
