From bulky designs to sleek, handy models, XGIMI has played a key role in making projectors more portable. We are big fans of its Mogo series, which features a handy stand that doubles as a battery station. Now, XGIMI is taking a step further by making projectors more stylish and personal, reflecting their owners’ unique tastes. Meet the Vibe One, an entry-level, plug-and-play portable projector that comes in several color options to match different tastes and includes a pack of fun stickers to customize the projector to match your style.
The Vibe One is a portable, battery-powered projector with built-in Google TV and a licensed Netflix app. It features a 160-degree adjustable stand that lets you easily project on walls or ceilings. While its stand is somewhat like the flexible design of the Yaber T1 Pro, it feels more stable and doubles as a convenient handle for carrying the projector around.
The projector combines an LED light source with LCD technology to deliver 250 ISO lumens of brightness and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. It has a throw ratio of 1.3:1, allowing it to project images sized between 45 and 150 inches. The Auto Keystone Correction and Auto Focus make setup easy, as the projector automatically adjusts the image quality without your involvement. The big-screen viewing experience is further enhanced by built-in JBL-powered sound.
XGIMI Vibe One projector seems a truly portable projector as it comes with a built-in battery that works for up to 1.2 hours in video mode or four hours when playing only music. It includes 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

Other key features include digital zoom, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, DLNA and Google Cast support, one HDMI port, one USB port, and a DC input. Interestingly, the XGIMI Vibe One projector can also serve as an ambient lamp, but it may be a gimmick as it actually seems to be repurposing the projector light itself, like the Yaber T1 Pro.
Each unit measures 306.9 x 115 x 135.4 mm and weighs about 1.4kg, which is not too heavy to carry outdoors for camping trips. If you wish to have one, you can pre-order the Vibe One portable projector for an exclusive early-bird price of $199 (dropped from the regular price of $269) right now.
