Xgimi has introduced its new ultra-slim 4K projector, the Z9X, in China. It is currently open for pre-orders on JD.com at 4,124 yuan ($580) and will officially go on sale on October 15. The global version is expected to debut under the Elfin Flip series.
Xgimi Z9X Specifications
The Z9X comes in a Mocha Brown finish, weighs 1.5 kg, and has a thickness of just 7.8 cm. It includes a gimbal-style hinge that allows 150-degree tilt adjustment for projecting onto walls or ceilings.
The projector uses a 0.39-inch DMD chip to deliver native 4K resolution with 1300 CVIA lumens brightness. Its optical zoom lens offers a 0.98-1.3:1 throw ratio, enabling a sharp 100-inch projection from 2.17 meters.
Xgimi has equipped the projector with the MT9681 flagship chipset, which is used in the company’s high-end models. It includes a G57-MC1 GPU clocked at 816MHz, 3GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. The system supports 240fps gaming at 1080p, VRR (variable refresh rate), and ALLM (auto low-latency mode).
The Z9X uses the new Qualas 32 laser light engine. Xgimi claims an 18% improvement in light efficiency and a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The projector supports HDR10, HLG, and HDR Vivid. It also features Xgimi’s AI-based processing, which includes AI-HDR, AI-PQ, and AI-SR upscaling. The lens module uses a 10-layer optical stack with LSR coating to reduce speckle and chromatic aberrations.
The projector supports four color gamuts: 110% BT.2020, DCI-P3, Rec.709, and Adobe RGB. Its color accuracy is rated at ΔE < 1, ensuring precise reproduction. Xgimi has integrated a human-eye bionic color algorithm and collaborated with professional cinematographers to fine-tune color modes tailored for portraits, films, and documentaries.
The Z9X includes dual 7W speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, delivering immersive audio with Dolby Audio and DTS:X support. It runs on Xgimi’s AI operating system, which works seamlessly with Xiao Ai voice control and the Mi Home smart ecosystem. The projector also includes several intelligent functions such as automatic focus, keystone correction, screen alignment, color wall detection, and obstacle avoidance.
The I/O options include two HDMI ports (one with eARC), USB 3.0 and 2.0, DC input, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4. The projector operates under 28 dB and consumes around 100W of power.
In related news, Xgimi has unveiled the Horizon 20 series featuring up to 5,700 ISO lumens brightness and a 1ms gaming mode, alongside the Titan 4K projector equipped with 5,000 ISO lumens and a dual-laser engine.
