Homegrown consumer electronics brand XElectron has expanded its product lineup with the launch of the Luminex Smart Projector. Priced at Rs 14,990, the device aims to solve two of the biggest pain points for budget projector users: lack of official streaming certifications and rigid placement options. Under the hood, the projector delivers Native 1080p Full HD resolution with support for 4K decoding. It is capable of throwing an image up to 250 inches, effectively turning any large wall into a home cinema.
Price and availability
The XElectron Luminex is available starting today for Rs 14,990. It can be purchased via Amazon India, Flipkart, and the XElectron official website, and comes with a standard one-year warranty.
Unlike many projectors in this price segment that rely on mobile-version workarounds, the Luminex features official Whale OS integration. This provides native, high-definition certification for major OTT platforms including Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Zee5, and SonyLIV. The inclusion of official apps ensures a smooth, lag-free interface and high-speed streaming without the need for external fire sticks or casting devices.
The Luminex stands out with a unique 180° rotatable body, a design choice aimed at modern urban living. This hardware flexibility allows users to pivot the lens effortlessly, transitioning from a traditional wall display to a floor-to-ceiling projection setup—perfect for those who prefer watching content while lying down.
To appeal to non-technical users, XElectron has packed the Luminex with a suite of "Auto-AI" calibration features:
- Auto Focus & Auto Keystone: Sharpens the image and squares the corners instantly.
- Auto Screen Alignment: Automatically fits the image to the edges of a projector screen.
- Obstacle Avoidance: Intelligently detects and shifts the image away from wall fixtures like light switches or photo frames.

- Connectivity: Dual-Band Wi-Fi (Airplay/Miracast) and Bluetooth 5.2.
