Xgimi has introduced the Vibe One, a compact smart projector designed to bring big-screen entertainment to small spaces at a wallet-friendly price. Already on sale in Europe and headed to the US, this entry-level model packs streaming smarts, simple setup, and true portability into a sleek, lightweight design.
The Vibe One projects a 1080p image up to 150 inches with a 1.3:1 throw ratio, making it a solid fit for living rooms, dorms, or travel. Its LED light source is rated at up to 250 ISO lumens, so it performs best in dark environments for movie nights or gaming after sunset. Setup is quick thanks to automatic keystone correction and autofocus, and the integrated stand doubles as a handle while letting you tilt the projection up to 160 degrees to match your space.
Entertainment is built in. With Google TV onboard and native Netflix support, you can dive straight into your favorite shows and films without extra hardware. Wireless sharing via Google Cast makes it easy to beam content from your phone or laptop. For audio, the projector includes dual 3W speakers with Dolby Audio support, and an Ambient Light mode offers eight colors to set the mood when you’re not watching. Connectivity covers Bluetooth 5.1 and dual-band Wi‑Fi 5, plus HDMI and USB ports for consoles, laptops, and drives.
A built-in battery delivers up to 1.2 hours of video playback or around four hours of music between charges, making it a handy option for quick sessions, presentations, or backyard screenings. Color options include Cloud Ash and Blue Spark, and the box includes stickers so you can personalize the look.
Pricing is competitive. In Europe, the Vibe One is available for £219/€249 from the brand’s online store and major retailers. In the US, pre-orders are open at $199, a 26% discount from the $269 MSRP, with the early offer running until November 4 and shipping expected to begin November 5.
If you’re after a budget-friendly 1080p portable projector with Google TV, easy setup, and enough battery for spontaneous movie moments, the Xgimi Vibe One is a compelling choice—especially if you’ll mostly watch in darker rooms.
