Xgimi has released the 2026 version of its Z6X Pro projector. It is available for an introductory price of 2,399 yuan ($358). The main update for this year’s model is the brightness, which has increased to 1,500 CVIA lumens (or 1,600 ISO lumens). For context, the 2025 version was capped at 910 CVIA lumens.

To achieve that extra brightness, the projector uses the QuaLas 42 RGB tri-color laser. The company says this light source is more efficient and runs cooler than the previous generation, which should help keep brightness steady during long viewing sessions. The projector relies on a 0.23-inch DMD chip to display a native 1080p resolution with a standard 1.2:1 throw ratio.
For color and contrast, it covers 110% of the BT.2020 color space and has a native contrast ratio of 1,600:1. There is an AI light control feature that adjusts black levels dynamically, which Xgimi says can bring the dynamic contrast up to 30,000:1. It also comes with HDR Vivid support. For eye protection, the projector automatically lowers its brightness when it detects someone passing in front of the lens.
Inside, the Z6X Pro runs on a MediaTek MT9660 processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. It uses Xgimi’s GMUI 6.0 software. The projector handles the initial setup automatically. It uses a built-in NPU to focus the image, adjust the keystone, align with a projector screen, and avoid obstacles on the wall. It also includes MEMC to smooth out motion in fast-paced videos.
If you plug in a console like a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox, the projector recognizes it and opens a specific gaming menu. This includes a 21:9 ultrawide mode, a virtual crosshair, and a night vision setting. For audio, it features a single 7W Harman Kardon speaker that supports Dolby Audio.
The physical design is relatively compact. It comes in a purple finish, weighs 1.28kg, and is 7.5cm thick. The base functions as a built-in gimbal that tilts up to 150 degrees, allowing you to point the projector at the ceiling without needing a separate mount.
In terms of ports, the projector includes one HDMI with eARC, one USB, and a power jack. It connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1, and it supports Apple AirPlay, DLNA, and Xiaomi’s Mijia app.
In related news, Dangbei has recently launched the X9 Ultra, a 4K triple-laser projector with 6,100 ISO lumens and 1ms gaming, alongside the X9 Max with 4K resolution, 5,000 ISO lumens of brightness, and 240Hz gaming support.
