XElectron has launched the Techno C7 in India, pitching it as a low-cost home projector with Android 14, built-in streaming apps, and a price of ₹6,990. The idea is simple: offer a living-room setup that does not need a separate set-top box, TV stick, or external speaker.
Budget projectors have become far more common in India over the past two years, with brands including Portronics, Zebronics, and Lifelong already selling Android-based models with built-in services. That has shifted competition beyond brightness alone, as buyers increasingly look at how usable a projector is straight out of the box. XElectron’s answer is a mix of onboard software, Wi‑Fi 6, and a rotating stand designed to make setup easier.
The Techno C7 includes a built-in stand with 180-degree rotation, allowing users to aim it at a wall or ceiling without a tripod or extra mounts. It has a native 720p resolution, but accepts and plays 1080p and 4K content by scaling it to the panel’s native resolution. XElectron lists peak brightness at 9000 lumens and contrast at 5000:1, while the LED light source is rated for up to 50,000 hours.

Image size ranges from 40 to 200 inches at a projection distance of 4 to 16 feet, with the company recommending 120 inches as the most comfortable option. For setup, it offers electronic focus, automatic keystone correction, and 4D keystone.
Audio comes from a built-in 20W speaker. If that is not enough, users can connect external speakers or headphones over Bluetooth 5.0 or through a 3.5mm audio jack.
The projector is already on sale in India through Amazon India and authorized retailers, and it comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty. At ₹6,990, it lands in a crowded part of the market, up against basic LED projectors and more capable Android TV models with automatic setup features.
