XElectron has introduced the Techno C7, a budget home projector in India priced at about $70. The company is pitching it as a low-cost smart TV replacement, with built-in streaming apps and flexible placement options.
A standout feature is its built-in 180° rotating stand, which lets users point the image at a wall or even the ceiling without extra mounts. The projector uses a panel with a native resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It can play Full HD and 4K content, but image output is limited to 720p.
XElectron claims brightness of up to 9000 lumens, 5000:1 contrast, and an LED light source lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. The projected image can reach 200 inches from a throw distance of 1.2 to 4.9 meters, although the company says about 120 inches is the optimal screen size.
Setup features include electric focus, automatic keystone correction, and four-point keystone adjustment. The projector runs Android 14 and supports major streaming services without an external media player, including Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5, and SonyLIV.
Connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, HDMI, USB, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Audio comes from a built-in 20 W speaker system.
