The XElectron iProjector 3 Plus enters the growing category of smart projectors designed to bring a large-screen entertainment experience into everyday living spaces. With built-in Google TV, native 1080p resolution with support for 4K decoding, and brightness rated at 2000 ANSI lumens, the projector aims to function as a standalone streaming device rather than just a display unit.
It also focuses on convenience through features such as auto focus, auto keystone correction, and automatic screen alignment, which are designed to simplify installation. Combined with the ability to project images as large as 300 inches, the iProjector 3 Plus promises a cinema-style viewing experience without the complexity of a traditional home theatre setup. In this review, I am taking a closer look at how well it delivers in everyday use.
Design and setup
The first thing that stands out about the iProjector 3 Plus is that it is clearly designed to be used easily in a living room environment. It follows the familiar compact projector design with a straightforward layout that allows it to sit comfortably on a table, shelf, or media console. The all-rectangular design looks proportionate and fits well with the interiors. The front has the Lends along with the dual auto focus sensors. Moreover, the back has all the necessary ports – HDMI, USB and audio jack. Just below that, there’s the subwoofer placement.

What makes the setup process easier compared to many traditional projectors is the number of automated adjustments built into the system. The projector supports auto focus, auto keystone correction, auto obstacle avoidance, auto tilt correction, and automatic screen alignment. These features work together to adjust the image geometry and focus without requiring the user to manually tweak settings.
In real-world use, this automation simplifies installation significantly. Instead of spending several minutes adjusting the image to match the screen or wall, the projector can detect the projection area and correct the image automatically. This makes the device approachable for users who may be using a projector for the first time.
Another practical design element is the sealed optical engine. Dust is often a long-term issue with projectors, gradually affecting brightness and clarity. The sealed design aims to reduce dust entering the optical system, which should help maintain picture quality over time.
Display and projection quality
The iProjector 3 Plus supports a native 1080p resolution with support for 4K decoding. In practice, this means that while the projector’s physical resolution is Full HD, it can process 4K video content and scale it appropriately for projection.
Brightness is rated at 2000 ANSI lumens, which places it in a category that can handle moderate ambient lighting. For the best results, dim lighting still produces the most balanced image, but the brightness is sufficient for casual viewing during the evening without requiring a completely dark room.
One of the strengths of this projector is the flexibility in screen size. It supports projection sizes ranging from approximately 55 inches up to 300 inches. This allows users to create a very large viewing experience when projecting onto a wall or screen in a larger room.
However, I found out that the 120 to 150 inch projection is the sweet spot. Beyond that, it tends to lose some sharpness and in the real-world, 150 inch projection size is more than large enough.
Color performance and contrast levels are tuned for typical streaming content such as movies, sports, and television shows. HDR support further helps improve detail in highlights and shadows when compatible content is played.

Overall, the picture quality leans toward delivering a comfortable viewing experience rather than pushing extreme brightness or cinema-grade color accuracy. For everyday streaming and casual movie nights, the projector produces clear visuals that remain engaging on large screens.
Also, the onboard Google TV allows users to tweak several viewing modes and most of them does a good job – however – the Vivid mode works the best on all sort of conditions.
Software and smart features
One of the most useful elements of the iProjector 3 Plus is the inclusion of official Google TV. Instead of relying on external streaming sticks or set-top boxes, the projector operates much like a smart television.
The interface allows users to access thousands of apps through the Google Play ecosystem. Popular streaming platforms such as JioHotstar, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, ZEE5, SonyLIV, and other regional services are available directly on the device.
Voice search is also integrated through Google Assistant. Users can search for movies, launch apps, or control playback using voice commands, which adds another layer of convenience when navigating the interface.
The ability to cast content from smartphones or tablets through Google Cast further enhances the projector’s usability. This allows quick sharing of videos, photos, or presentations from compatible devices.
Overall, the smart platform ensures that the projector does not require additional accessories to function as a full entertainment system.
Audio performance and connectivity
The iProjector 3 Plus includes built-in 20W speakers supported by a passive radiator designed to improve bass output. While projectors are often paired with external audio systems, the built-in speakers here are capable enough for general use.
Dialogue remains clear when watching movies or TV shows, and the bass enhancement adds some depth to background music and action scenes. For everyday viewing in a living room or bedroom, the internal audio system performs adequately.
The projector can also function as a Bluetooth speaker, allowing users to stream music from smartphones even when the projection function is not in use. For users seeking more immersive sound, the presence of HDMI ARC and Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to connect soundbars or external speakers.

Connectivity is another area where the iProjector 3 Plus performs well. It supports Wi-Fi 6 along with dual-band wireless connectivity, which helps maintain stable streaming performance when connected to modern routers.
Bluetooth 5.4 allows users to pair headphones, speakers, or other wireless accessories. The inclusion of HDMI ARC also enables the projector to integrate with soundbars and home audio systems.
In addition to wireless connections, the projector includes HDMI, USB, Ethernet, and audio output ports. These options allow users to connect gaming consoles, laptops, streaming devices, and storage drives.
Screen mirroring support through AirPlay and Miracast further expands compatibility with smartphones and tablets. This makes the projector suitable for both entertainment and presentation use.
Verdict
The XElectron iProjector 3 Plus is priced at Rs 27,990 and for the price the focus is on delivering a convenient home entertainment experience built around streaming and large-screen viewing. Its combination of Google TV integration, automated image adjustments, 2000 ANSI lumen brightness, and multiple connectivity options makes it a practical choice for everyday use.

While it is not positioned as a high-end cinema projector, it provides a balanced mix of features that make it suitable for movies, sports, gaming, and casual streaming. For users looking for a smart projector that prioritizes ease of use and large screen flexibility, the iProjector 3 Plus presents itself as a capable and well-rounded option if you are looking at a function budget projector for home.
