EISA Awards: Award-Winning Product
Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.
IF Product Design Award
The iF Design Awards, created in 1953, represent one of the world's leading design competitions. Each year, it attracts over 1,800 participants from 30 different countries. The jury, composed of globally renowned designers, not only examines and selects the chosen products but also adheres to stringent requirements to maintain a high-quality label.
Overview
The XGIMI MoGo 4 is a portable Full HD projector that combines projection, Bluetooth speaker, and ambient lighting. Equipped with ISA technology for automatic image adjustment, it can be easily set up in various environments. Compact and self-contained, it’s designed for those seeking a mobile entertainment solution that goes beyond simple projection.
DLP Architecture and Professional Image Quality
The MoGo 4 is built on proven DLP technology with a 0.23” DMD chip, ensuring faithful color reproduction and remarkable sharpness. This architecture, combined with a 25,000-hour LED light source, guarantees long-term reliability without color degradation.
With 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the MoGo 4 meets professional cinematic standards. This color range, superior to traditional sRGB, delivers richer and more nuanced colors, especially noticeable on supported HDR 10 content.
The high-transmission coated lens optimizes the effective brightness of 450 ISO lumens, partially compensating for the inherent limitations of portable projectors. The 1.2:1 throw ratio allows for a 200 cm image from just 2.4 meters away, ideal for small spaces.
Compact Design and Redesigned Ergonomics
The MoGo 4 features a cylindrical shape reminiscent of a quality thermos, measuring 207.6 × 96.5 × 96.5 mm and weighing just 1.33 kg. This design offers a natural grip and discreet portability. The choice of light silver color enhances its premium look while remaining neutral in any setting.
A major innovation is its integrated metal sliding rail stand. With a simple upward motion, the stand deploys and offers a full 360° rotation, enabling projection in any direction, from floor to ceiling. This flexibility eliminates the need for external accessories in most usage scenarios.
Compared to the MoGo 3 Pro, which only offered 130° rotation, this evolution represents a significant gain in versatility for installation in tight spaces.
Intelligent ISA Projection Technology
ISA (Intelligent Screen Adaptation) technology is the innovative core of the MoGo 4. This artificial intelligence continuously and automatically manages focus and keystone correction, adapting to device movement and changes in projection surface.
The integrated ToF (Time of Flight) module constantly measures distance and projection angle, allowing for instant adjustments without manual intervention. This automation transforms daily use: no more tedious adjustments, as the projector intelligently adapts to each new position.
The native Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, combined with 450 ISO lumens of brightness, delivers satisfying image quality for screen sizes from 102 to 508 cm. This wide range suits both intimate viewing and group projections.
Gaming Performance and Optimized Latency
The MoGo 4 features a dedicated gaming mode with impressively low latency: 35 ms with automatic corrections disabled, 65 ms with corrections enabled. These figures rival dedicated gaming TVs, making competitive console gaming possible on a portable projector.
The 1.35 GHz quad-core CA53 processor, supported by a G52 MP2 GPU and 2 GB of RAM, ensures smooth performance even with upscaled 4K content. This processing power also enables fast startup thanks to the STR (Suspend to RAM) function.
The 16 GB of storage, though modest, is sufficient for essential Google TV apps and some personal content. Expansion via USB is available for larger libraries.
Integrated Harman Kardon Audio System
The two 6 W speakers, designed by Harman Kardon, turn the MoGo 4 into a high-quality standalone Bluetooth speaker. Dolby Audio, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus technologies create surprisingly rich sound for such a compact device, with a maximum sound level of 28 dB at 1 meter.
This audio upgrade over the MoGo 3 Pro (2 × 5 W) results in deeper bass and greater dynamic range. The independent speaker mode allows the device to be used solely for audio, with extended battery life up to 6 hours.
Quiet operation (≤ 28 dB) ensures silent performance even in calm environments, preserving cinematic immersion without intrusive fan noise.
Modular Battery Life and Power Solutions
The built-in 72 Wh battery provides up to 2.5 hours of video projection in eco mode, a respectable duration for most movies. This capacity, identical to the MoGo 4 Laser, demonstrates the standardization of XGIMI’s power ecosystem.
The modular power ecosystem sets the MoGo 4 apart from the competition. The optional PowerBase adds an extra 5 hours in video mode, bringing total battery life to 7.5 hours. This extension is especially useful for movie marathons or extended events.
Compatibility with 65 W USB-C Power Delivery external batteries opens up endless possibilities for autonomy. This standardization allows you to use the same batteries as for laptops, streamlining your mobile gear.
Extensive Connectivity and Google TV Ecosystem
The HDMI port with ARC support ensures maximum compatibility with modern sources, from gaming consoles to 4K Blu-ray players. ARC allows audio to be sent back to a home theater system via a single cable.
USB-A and USB-C ports provide direct connectivity for USB drives, external hard drives, or smartphones. This versatility often eliminates the need for external sources for personal content.
Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (2.4/5 GHz) and Bluetooth 5.1 ensure seamless integration into the modern digital ecosystem. Built-in Chromecast and DLNA compatibility enable streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers without complex setup.
Pre-installed Google TV transforms the projector into a true standalone entertainment center, with direct access to streaming platforms without relying on external sources.
Positioning Within the MoGo Range
The MoGo 4 is smartly positioned between the MoGo 3 Pro (€449), which lacks a battery, and the MoGo 4 Laser (€749) with triple laser technology. This €599 price point offers the best balance of battery life and performance for mobile use.
Compared to the MoGo 3 Pro, improvements include the built-in battery, 360° stand rotation, and enhanced Harman Kardon audio. Against the MoGo 4 Laser, it sacrifices 100 lumens of brightness and laser technology for a more accessible price.
This hierarchy allows each user to choose according to their priorities: absolute mobility (MoGo 4), or maximum brightness performance (MoGo 4 Laser).
Creative Features and Gesture Control
Gesture control up to 30 cm introduces a natural way to interact with the device. This technology detects hand movements to navigate menus or control playback, especially useful when the remote is out of reach.
Ambient lighting with 8 selectable colors adds an unexpected decorative dimension. Controlled via the included Bluetooth remote, this feature turns the device into a musical mood lamp, synchronizing colors and rhythms.
Magnetic creative filters, including the included sunset filter, allow for artistic visual effects. This creative approach sets the MoGo 4 apart from purely functional projectors, opening up possibilities for artistic or decorative use.
What the press says
The MoGo 4 Laser is the best version of XGIMI’s MoGo projectors. Despite a few image imperfections, its superior quality and increased brightness give it the best performance in the brand’s range of portable projectors.
Automatically translated — Show original (French)
The XGIMI MoGo 4 laser projector is average for movies, at least compared with larger projectors. Like most portable models, it is very dim and only delivers good results in complete darkness. Fortunately, its contrast is good and its color gamut is wide, which makes for a satisfactory experience once the lights are dimmed. Unfortunately, its accuracy is quite poor out of the box, so demanding users will want to calibrate it.
