Summary

  • XGIMI unveiled the AURA 3 Max and AURA 3 Pro at IFA 2026, putting its new ultra-short-throw lineup on display ahead of a Kickstarter launch on Oct. 20.
  • The series is billed as the world's first 4K 120Hz UST projector lineup, combining Dynamic Dual Iris, an RGB triple-laser engine and X-VISION AI processing for up to 8,000:1 contrast and 5,700 ISO lumens.
  • AURA 3 Max can throw a 120-inch image from 8 inches off the wall, while the lineup supports gaming features including VRR and ALLM, built-in Google TV, Dolby Vision and 80W Harman Kardon speakers.
  • Kickstarter pricing starts at $2,199 for the AURA 3 Pro and $2,399 for the AURA 3 Max; customers placing a $50 deposit can get an extra $200 off.
  • The launch extends XGIMI's push to position premium projection as everyday living-room hardware, with IFA demos built around home-style spaces and a wall-art mode when the projector is idle.
