Xgimi Elfin Mini LED Projector

One-minute review The Xgimi Elfin is bringing the well-regarded Xgimi experience to a smaller package. It’s not falling behind in features or picture quality from some of its siblings, but it skips out on being a true portable projector by ditching the internal battery and instead focuses on being small. It’s a curious position to be in, an incredibly portable Xgimi projector, but also one of the few you can’t use on the go.  This model is just under two pounds and under two inches thick.
