What Is XGIMI AURA 2 (New)?
The XGIMI AURA 2 (New) is a premium 4K Ultra Short Throw laser projector designed for home cinema and large-screen entertainment.
Unlike conventional projectors, it does not need to sit far away from the wall. Its 0.177:1 throw ratio allows it to create a 100-inch-class image from a very short distance. The projector supports screen sizes from 90 to 150 inches.

Specifications are based on XGIMI’s current AURA 2 (New) specifications.
4K Ultra Short Throw Laser Projection
The biggest attraction of the AURA 2 (New) is its 4K Ultra Short Throw laser projection.
It uses a 0.47-inch DMD chip with a native resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels. The Dual Light 2.0 system produces up to 2,300 ISO lumens, giving the projector enough brightness for a premium home entertainment setup.
Because it is an UST projector, users do not need to mount it at the opposite end of the room. Instead, the projector can sit close to the wall or projection screen.
That makes it particularly useful for modern living rooms where space is limited.
99% DCI-P3 for Richer Colors
Color performance is another major highlight.
XGIMI claims the AURA 2 (New) covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The projector also uses per-unit factory calibration and XGIMI’s Rembrandt Portrait Engine to improve color reproduction and skin tones.
As a result, movies and other colorful content can appear more vibrant and natural.
The projector also supports D65 color temperature correction and claims ΔE < 1 color accuracy under XGIMI’s testing conditions. Actual performance can vary depending on the environment and settings.
1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast
The AURA 2 (New) also focuses heavily on contrast.
XGIMI rates its dynamic contrast ratio at up to 1,000,000:1. This helps the projector produce deeper-looking blacks while maintaining bright highlights.
That is especially useful for movies with dark scenes, nighttime sequences and high-contrast HDR content.
However, real-world contrast will depend on room lighting, screen quality and viewing conditions.
Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced
For movie enthusiasts, the AURA 2 (New) supports several premium video formats.
These include:
- Dolby Vision
- HDR10
- HLG
- IMAX Enhanced
- 3D
Dolby Vision can improve compatible HDR content with scene-by-scene adjustments. Meanwhile, IMAX Enhanced is designed to deliver a more cinematic presentation on compatible content.
Together with the large 4K projection, these features make the AURA 2 (New) particularly interesting for home-theater users.
Up to 150-Inch Big-Screen Experience
The AURA 2 (New) is designed for people who want a screen much larger than a conventional TV.
It supports projection sizes from 90 to 150 inches. Its 0.177:1 throw ratio also allows the projector to sit close to the projection surface.
This means users can enjoy a massive screen without needing a long room.
For example, the projector can sit on a TV cabinet or dedicated media console rather than requiring a ceiling installation.
ISA 5.0 Makes Setup Easier
Ultra-short-throw projectors can be difficult to position perfectly. XGIMI addresses this with its ISA 5.0 intelligent screen adaptation system.
The system handles features such as:
- Auto keystone correction
- Auto focus
- Intelligent screen alignment
- Intelligent obstacle avoidance
- Eye protection
- Environmental adaptation
Therefore, users can spend less time adjusting the projector manually.
The system is particularly useful when the projector is placed in a living room where furniture or objects may occasionally move into the projection area.
Google TV With Licensed Netflix
The AURA 2 (New) also works as a smart entertainment device.
It runs Google TV and includes licensed Netflix, along with support for Google Cast and Magicast.
This means users can access popular streaming services without necessarily connecting a separate streaming stick.
The projector comes with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, while an ARM Cortex-A73 CPU and Mali-G52 GPU handle system performance.
As a result, it can function as an all-in-one home entertainment system.
20ms Gaming Latency
Although the AURA 2 (New) is primarily a home-cinema projector, XGIMI has also included a gaming mode.
The projector offers ultra-low latency down to 20ms, with MEMC support for smoother motion. XGIMI specifies the latency figure with certain settings and conditions.
This makes it suitable for casual console gaming and large-screen gaming sessions.
However, competitive gamers looking for extremely low latency may still prefer a dedicated gaming monitor or TV.
60W Harman/Kardon Audio
The AURA 2 (New) does not require external speakers for everyday entertainment.
It features four 15W Harman/Kardon speakers, providing a total rated output of 60W. The system also supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD and DTS Virtual.
Therefore, users can start watching movies or shows without immediately investing in a separate sound system.
For a dedicated home cinema, however, an external surround-sound system can still provide a more immersive experience.
Connectivity
The AURA 2 (New) offers a wide range of connectivity options.
It includes:
- 2 × HDMI
- 1 × HDMI with eARC
- 3 × USB
- 1 × LAN
- 3.5mm headphone output
- Optical audio output
- Wi-Fi 6
- Bluetooth 5.2
This makes it easy to connect gaming consoles, computers, streaming devices and external audio equipment.
Design and Build Quality
The AURA 2 (New) has a premium home-theater design rather than the compact body of XGIMI’s portable projectors.
It measures 510 × 270 × 144 mm and weighs around 9 kg.
Its UST design allows it to remain close to the wall, making it easier to integrate into a TV cabinet or dedicated entertainment console.
The projector also features an Art Mode, allowing it to blend more naturally into home interiors when it is not being used for movies or games.
