New Affordable Nebula P1i Projector by Soundcore Arrives in 2026

For those watching their wallet, Soundcore introduces a budget-friendly alternative to the Nebula P1 at CES 2026. Priced significantly lower at $369, the Nebula P1i offers full HD resolution and increased portability, though with a trade-off in brightness.

Unlike its sibling model, the P1i forgoes detachable speakers and instead features built-in speakers that can rotate open to a full 180 degrees. It also substitutes the P1's tilting design with a stand allowing for slight elevation adjustment between 0 and 12 degrees.

Delivering the same 1080p clarity as the P1, this compact unit operates at a reduced brightness level of 400 ANSI lumens compared to its predecessor's 650. Ease of setup is assured with technological features like autofocus, auto keystone correction, and screen alignment. Similar to other Nebula devices, it comes equipped with Google TV for seamless app streaming from platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney.

Soundcore also gave a sneak peek of the party-friendly Nebula X1 Pro, merging its robust X1 projector capabilities with a powerful 160W audio system. The X1 Pro boasts brightness of 3,500 ANSI lumens and superior color quality, paired with Dolby Atmos support and water and dust resistance for outdoor use. Set to release on January 20, 2026, this entertainment powerhouse can be reserved now for $4,499, a discount off its planned retail price of $4,999.

For those in need of a larger display, Soundcore is also providing a 200-inch inflatable screen available for $2,000 to complement their viewing setup.
