Xgimi has just introduced its latest portable projectors in China, the Play 6 and Play 6e, aimed at delivering big-screen entertainment in a compact, travel-friendly design. Both models feature a built-in 360-degree gimbal and come with price tags that won’t break the bank.
The Play 6 is priced at 2,099 yuan (about $290), while the Play 6e comes in slightly cheaper at 1,799 yuan (around $250).
Xgimi Play 6 and Play 6e Specifications
The design language is sleek and minimal, with both projectors roughly the size of a milk tea cup, small enough to toss into a bag without second thoughts. The Play 6 has already earned the 2025 German iF Design Award, and it’s clear why.
The integrated 360-degree gimbal not only looks refined but also allows smooth, flexible projection adjustments. Xgimi’s smart design extends to practical details too, like automatic keystone correction and fast autofocus, ensuring you can set up in seconds — even on uneven surfaces or at off-angles.
Under the hood, both models use advanced DLP technology paired with a 0.23-inch DMD chip, delivering 600 CVIA lumens (around 500 ISO lumens). The projectors support native 1080p resolution and can handle 2K and 4K content as well. The throw ratios — 1.21:1 for the Play 6 and 1.2:1 for the Play 6e — mean these projectors can cast large images even in cramped apartments or small hotel rooms.
Portability is more than just size. The Play 6 packs a 20,000mAh battery that offers up to 2.5 hours of continuous video playback and up to 6 hours in audio-only mode. The Play 6e doesn’t come with a built-in battery, but both models can transform into Bluetooth ambient speakers when the projection lid is closed, complete with synced lighting effects.
Xgimi didn’t cut corners on audio. Both devices feature dual 6W speakers, Harman Kardon-branded on the Play 6, and tuned under Xgimi Sound on the Play 6e with Dolby Audio and 360-degree surround sound. Whether you’re watching movies or using them as standalone speakers, they promise a surprisingly rich audio experience for their size.
Both models run on GMUI 6.0, powered by an MT9-series processor with 1.5GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. They also support wireless casting through AirPlay, DLNA, and XGIMI’s own app. Connectivity options are solid, with HDMI (eARC), USB, and Type-C ports, plus dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1.
Xgimi has also baked in features like MEMC motion compensation, HDR10/HLG support, and its X-VUE picture engine for enhanced color and detail. And while they run quietly at just 28dB, they still manage to deliver efficient performance with power consumption under 65W.
For anyone who’s constantly on the move but refuses to compromise on big-screen entertainment, the Xgimi Play 6 and Play 6e seem like smart, well-rounded options and they’re designed to fit right into your lifestyle, quite literally. These projectors are also expected to hit the global market with MoGo branding later this year.
