Innovative projector maker XGIMI just dropped the MoGo 4 and MoGo 4 Laser—two pocket-sized powerhouses designed to grab the attention of tech-obsessed Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen A. These aren’t your dad’s clunky beamers; the MoGo 4 Series packs cutting-edge tech into a sleek, coffee-cup-sized chassis that’s as stylish as it is portable.
Whether you’re staging rooftop movie nights or just escaping the boredom of your living room, the MoGo 4 Series offers the flexibility to run on a built-in battery or plug into standard AC power. Both models snagged the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 under the Play 6 banner, proving that looks and durability aren’t mutually exclusive.
Small enough to carry but loud enough to make a statement—because why settle for boring when you can project in style?
From Apollo Zhong, CEO of XGIMI: “We saw an opportunity to reinvent what a portable projector could be—not just for watching, but for setting a mood, creating a space, even transforming a selfie,…The MoGo 4 Series isn’t just portable—it’s expressive. While others shrink projectors, we added more: filters, speakers, and design. It lives in your bag, but also in your vibe.”
The MoGo 4: Compact Powerhouse for On-the-Go Entertainment
The MoGo 4 projector delivers crisp 1080p Full HD visuals backed by 450 ISO Lumens brightness. That means vibrant, detailed projections up to 120 inches are your sweet spot, though it can push up to a massive 200-inch screen if you’re feeling adventurous.
Feature Highlights Include:
- Harman/Kardon Audio: Integrated dual 6W Harman/Kardon speakers deliver immersive 360° sound that fills the room without needing extra gear.
- Ambient Speaker Mode: When you’re not projecting movies, the MoGo 4 moonlights as a standalone Bluetooth speaker with ambient light pulses that sync with your tunes.
- Instant Setup & Versatility: Pull it out, power on, and you’re ready. Auto keystone correction and full 360° rotation mean you can project on virtually any surface, not just boring old screens.
- Infrared Mini Remote: Comes with a pocket-sized remote that’s intuitive and quick—because fumbling around in the dark is so last decade.
- Detachable Buckle Lanyard: Practical and stylish, this lets you carry it your way or hang it somewhere cool.
- Magnetic Creative Filters: The included Sunset filter sets the mood perfectly. Optional filters add some flair:
- Ripple: Soft wave-like motions for when you need to zone out.
- Dreamscape: Ethereal, shifting colors that paint your room with vibes.
- Lunar: A calming moonlit blue for late-night chill sessions.
- Gesture Control: No remote? No problem. Switch filters with a simple hand wave in front of the lens—because tech should be effortless.
- Extended Playtime: Watch up to 2.5 hours of video in Eco Mode or blast music for up to 6 hours without a stand. With the optional PowerBase Stand, stretch video time to 5 hours.
XGIMI MoGo 4 Laser: Sharp, Bright, and Ready to Impress
Taking portable entertainment to new heights, the MoGo 4 Laser introduces cinema-grade triple-laser technology to portable projectors for the first time—delivering flagship-level visuals in a sleek, compact package.
- Advanced Laser Display: The MoGo 4 Laser features triple laser tech backed by 550 ISO Lumens brightness, a 110% BT.2020 color gamut, and a 1000:1 native contrast ratio. This means sharp, vibrant, and deep visuals that outclass typical portable projectors.
- Infrared Mini Remote: Comes with the same ultra-compact IR remote for quick, intuitive control.
- Detachable Buckle Lanyard: Just like the LED MoGo 4, the lanyard adds portability and style customization.
- Complete Creative Filter Suite: Unlike the LED version’s single filter, the MoGo 4 Laser includes all four magnetic filters—Sunset, Ripple, Lunar, and Dreamscape—for maximum mood setting.
- Gesture Control: Switch filters and vibe settings with a simple wave of your hand. Because who wants to hunt for remotes?
- Elegant Design: Premium finish, exclusive lens print, and a transparent base with an illuminated power indicator give it a sleek, upscale look.
- Metal Side Rail: Brushed aluminum side rails add durability and a touch of visual swagger.
- Extended Playtime: Up to 2.5 hours of video playback in Eco Mode, or 6 hours of music without a stand; stretch video time to 5 hours with the PowerBase accessory.
Seamless Integration and Connectivity: Ready to Stream Out of the Box
Both projectors come with built-in Google TV and licensed Netflix support. Just connect to your home WiFi 5 network, and you’re ready to binge—no extra devices or headaches required. Streaming your favorite shows has never been this effortless.
In addition to Google TV, both projectors offer Bluetooth 5.1, HDMI (ARC), and USB ports—making it easy to connect and stream content from virtually any source.
Projector Add-Ons:
PowerBase Stand: Attaches in a snap with a magnetic connector, delivering a stable base and doubling playback time thanks to its 20,000mAh built-in power bank.
XGIMI Outdoor Screen: Lightweight and portable, it sets up in 60 seconds to offer a wrinkle-free 70-inch display—ideal for your next backyard movie night.

The Bottom Line
While the video projector market is flooded with Ultra Short Throw (UST) models, the compact lifestyle projector segment is carving out its own space, led by players like Samsung, LG, TCL and XGIMI. The MoGo 4 series stakes a claim with sleek design, Google TV streaming, and Harman Kardon audio, echoing the setup flexibility and portability of the Samsung FreeStyle. The attachable color filters add a nice touch of personality.
But here’s the catch: light output is the Achilles’ heel. With only 450 ISO lumens for the MoGo 4 and 550 ISO lumens for the MoGo 4 Laser, these models struggle against ambient light—whether indoors or outdoors. For the price and promise, they fall short of truly bright, versatile performance. A slightly larger version pushing around 1,000 lumens while keeping portability intact would be a game-changer and help XGIMI stand out in this increasingly crowded lifestyle projector category. For now, the MoGo 4 series is best for dark rooms and intimate settings, not a bright outdoor movie night.
