The XGIMI Z7X High Brightness Edition projector has been launched in China. As its name suggests, the new version’s LED light source has a higher peak brightness level of 880 CVIA lumens compared to the 800 CVIA lumens of the original model, a 10% increase.

Otherwise, the two versions of the Z7X are similar. With a native 1080p resolution, the DLP projector supports 2K and 4K content, HDR10, and HLG. The product listing does not indicate the maximum recommended image size, which was 100 inches (~254 cm) for the older model; the throw ratio is said to be 1.2:1. You can perfect the image with automatic keystone correction, focus, and screen alignment and obstacle avoidance tools. Adaptive wall color means you do not need a projector screen, and the stand allows the device to be rotated up to 145°.

The projector uses a 0.33-inch DMD chip and the GMUI 6.0 operating system. Other features include voice commands, MEMC motion smoothing and low latency gaming, with ports including HDMI 2.0 (ARC), USB 2.0 and a 3.5mm audio jack. Plus, the compact model has an average thickness of 5.2 cm (~2.0 inches) and built-in Harman Kardon speakers compatible with Dolby Audio and DTS HD. You can now pre-order the XGIMI Z7X High Brightness Edition projector in China for 2,999 yuan (~$419). It remains to be seen whether the company intends to bring the product to other markets like the US, where it already sells models like the MoGo 2 Pro 1080P Portable Projector.
