This Tiny Device Just Replaced My TV — Meet the XGIMI MoGo 4 Portable Projector
By XGIMI Tech - 2025-08
This is a 70-inch television. Not too long ago, that was considered huge. But what if we could go bigger — way bigger? Like, cover-an-entire-wall bigger. That’s about the size of a 200-inch screen.
And what if I told you that you could get that kind of cinematic experience from something that fits in the palm of your hand — for under $500?
Yeah. This is the XGIMI MoGo 4 portable projector with built in battery. Believe it or not, this tiny beamer can display an image up to 200 inches, runs certified Netflix, and honestly — it’s one of the best portable projectors I’ve tested this year.
Let’s dive in.
A True Pocket Powerhouse
The XGIMI MoGo 4 is seriously compact — it weighs just 1.31 kg, and yes, it actually fits in your hand. But don’t let the size fool you: this thing is packed with power. Instead of a traditional bulb, the MoGo 4 uses a long-life LED light source with a rated life of 25,000 hours.
Around the back, you’ll find all the essentials:
● HDMI port
● USB-A for external media
● USB-C Power input
Oh, and yes — no physical control buttons. Don’t lose the remote! Thankfully, it’s a Bluetooth remote, so you can point it in any direction and it’ll still work.
Built-in Sound That Actually Delivers
At this price and size, you'd expect mediocre sound — but XGIMI MoGo 4 best portable projector with built in battery comes with dual 6W Harman Kardon speakers. Not only are they surprisingly loud, but you also get:
● Speaker Ambient Light Mode that pulses to the music
● Bluetooth speaker functionality (you can stream audio to it, too)
It sounds full and room-filling indoors. Outdoors or in larger spaces? Just pair it to any Bluetooth speaker — easy.
Silent Operation & Smart Brightness
This mini portable projector with rechargeable battery runs quiet — almost whisper silent at standard brightness levels. When you crank the brightness all the way up, there’s a faint fan noise, but nothing distracting. It runs 450 ISO Lumens, which looks great in dark to semi-lit rooms.
The Magic of Auto Setup
I mounted it, guessed the distance, and powered it on. Within seconds, ISA (Intelligent Screen Adaptation) took over:
● Auto focus
● Auto keystone
● Eye protection
And it actually worked — my image was centered, sharp, and perfectly aligned to the screen. This is one-button setup, and it’s shockingly good.
XGIMI MoGo 4 even supports 360° rotation and can self-adjust if you shift the angle or move it mid-session. It’s perfect for switching rooms or spontaneous movie nights.
Color Accuracy and Calibration
Out of the box, image presets were solid — especially Movie Mode, which gave fairly accurate colors. If you want more control, MoGo 4 allows white balance and gamma tweaks in its advanced menu.
I did a quick calibration, and was impressed to find very low delta errors (under 6) — better than most mini projectors with built in battery at this size and price point. The LED engine delivers rich colors and strong contrast, especially in vibrant or mixed lighting scenes.
HDR & Dark Scenes
The MoGo 4 supports HDR10 and HLG, which adds some punch to bright scenes and colorful animations. However, like most projectors in this category, HDR performance drops a bit in very dark scenes. You’ll see some black crush. For movies with moody lighting, consider turning off HDR for better balance.
Final Thoughts: Is This Portable Projector with Built-in Battery really worth it?
Without a doubt.
Whether you’re gaming, watching Netflix, or hosting backyard movie nights, the XGIMI MoGo 4 handles it all with zero stress, no setup drama, and legit picture quality. You even get fun extras like:
● Magnetic Creative Filters to set a mood
● Ambient reactive lights
● Netflix certification, so no need to sideload or fuss
I plan to bring it to friends' houses, connect my Switch, and host movie nights. It’s fun, functional, and genuinely exciting to use.
