Reviews XGIMI Elfin Flip 4K review: An ultra-portable laser projector with sharp video quality It’s not particularly bright, but it provides crisp, color-accurate video. By Steve Dent July 15, 2026 9:00 am EST Steve Dent for Engadget RATING : 8.6 / 10 Pros Excellent sharpness and color accuracy Built in Google TV Easy setup Elegant design Cons Not the brightest Google TV software can be sluggish 4K laser projectors are everywhere these days, but there are still a couple of things they lack: decent prices and true portability. XGIMI, which burst on the scene just a couple of years ago, believes it has an answer for both issues with the Elfin Flip 4K . With its unique lightweight, tilting design, it can be set up anywhere and at $999, it's cheaper than most triple-laser 4K projectors. The Elfin Flip 4K offers outstanding image quality, comes with Google TV and even has a built-in Harman-Kardon speaker. After testing it, I think it could be an excellent first buy for anyone wanting to dip their toe into laser projectors — as long as you don't plan on using it in bright rooms.

Features and design Steve Dent for Engadget The Elfin Flip 4K certainly looks unique. It's mounted in a squarish swivel stand that also serves as a handle, and can be adjusted up to 150 degrees to project from a coffee table, shelf or even up to the ceiling. It weighs just 3.4 pounds, making it one of the lightest 4K projectors on the market. What's more, the brushed metal finish gives it an elegant and futuristic look.
