Boat has launched two new smart projectors in India: the CineHead F1 and CineHead F1 Pro. The latest models expand the company’s projector lineup alongside the M1, which was introduced earlier this year.
Boat CineHead F1 and F1 Pro Specs
From a hardware perspective, the CineHead F1 and F1 Pro share a baseline set of display specifications. They output video at a native 1080p resolution while supporting 4K input, and both are capable of projecting an image ranging from 40 to 120 inches. The primary distinction between the two models comes down to brightness and audio capacity.
The higher-end CineHead F1 Pro outputs 500 ANSI lumens and includes a 10W speaker system with Dolby Audio. The standard CineHead F1, meanwhile, is rated at 300 ANSI lumens and features a 6W speaker setup. Both projectors utilize a fully sealed, dust-proof optical engine, which the company says will provide up to 30,000 hours of lamp life.
Internally, the F1 series is powered by a MediaTek processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. The inclusion of Google TV 5.0 (with the F1 specifically running on Android 14 for TV) means you have direct access to the Google Play Store, allowing for native downloads of standard streaming applications.
The included remote has dedicated Netflix and YouTube hotkeys, as well as a built-in microphone for Google Assistant voice commands. The projector also supports Google Cast and wireless screen mirroring, allowing you to stream content from smartphones and laptops.
To assist with physical setup, Boat has equipped both models with auto-focus, auto-keystone correction, and intelligent obstacle avoidance, which automatically adjust the image when the projector is moved. It also features a built-in adjustable stand that helps position the projection at the desired angle.
For connectivity, the F1 series includes dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth 5.1, a single USB port, an AUX port, and one HDMI port. The HDMI connection supports both ARC and eARC, allowing you to route audio directly to external soundbars or speaker systems using a single cable.
Pricing and Availability
The Boat CineHead F1 Pro is available for Rs. 32,999 through Boat’s website, Amazon India, Flipkart, and select retail stores. The standard CineHead F1 will launch later this month, with pricing yet to be announced.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched the affordable Redmi Projector 5 Pro with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1,000 CVIA lumens, and Dolby Audio, alongside the Redmi Projector 5, which features 1080p resolution and a built-in gimbal.
