Verdict

The Lenovo Xiaoxin 100 is a compact, portable smart projector featuring a native 1080p Full HD resolution with 4K decoding and HDR10 support. It delivers a peak brightness of 700 ANSI lumens, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, and a throw ratio of 1.25:1 for images up to 150 inches. Its main pros include high-precision CMOS-assisted autofocus, automatic keystone correction, and robust connectivity through Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, alongside dual 5W speakers with Dolby Audio. However, its main cons include a lack of image adjustment settings for brightness or saturation in stock software and a relatively low brightness that requires a dimmed environment for optimal viewing.
