Final Verdict
Both deliver smart 4K without a dedicated theater room, but they solve different problems. The Lifestudio Flex Plus is the design object: true 4K PRO-UHD detail from a compact lifestyle body with Bose-tuned sound and Google TV — a natural fit for bedrooms, rentals, and anyone who wants the projector to look at home on a shelf. The Cosmos 4K SE is the home base: much brighter, with Dolby Vision and Google TV, built to be the main screen in a real living room. Compact design and Bose audio: Lifestudio Flex Plus. Primary family-room display: Cosmos 4K SE.
