The Xgimi Aura 2 launched in late 2024 as a follow up to the 2021 Xgimi Aura, the brand’s first ultra-short-throw projector. While it might bear the same name, it has seen a substantial redesign and a bunch of advancements. It’s a powerful, compact projector that can sit at the front of your room just inches from the wall while still delivering the massive picture that makes projectors so appealing.
