Awards
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, paired with its PowerBase Stand, is a portable projector that combines performance, battery life, and compactness. This 2-in-1 solution features native Full HD DLP projection, an audio system by Harman/Kardon, and offers up to 5 hours of battery life, all at a weight of 1.33 kg. Designed for demanding mobile use, it adapts equally well to outdoor screenings and professional needs.
Modular Design and Technical Construction
The MoGo 4 takes an innovative modular approach with its quick-attach PowerBase Stand. The main body, measuring 207.6 × 96.5 × 96.5 mm, features clean lines and a robust build. The PowerBase, made from aluminum alloy, attaches in seconds thanks to a proprietary mounting system, instantly transforming the portable projector into a stable projection station.
This 2-in-1 design eliminates the traditional compromise between portability and stability. Without the PowerBase, the device remains compact for travel. With the stand, it gains presence and extended battery life without sacrificing its minimalist aesthetic. The refined finish and premium materials reflect the brand’s high-end positioning.
Projection Performance and Image Quality
The projection system is based on a 0.23” DLP DMD chip paired with a 450 ISO lumen LED light source, ensuring a lifespan of 25,000 hours. This combination delivers native Full HD (1920 × 1080) images with a 90% DCI-P3 color gamut, offering rich and natural colors.
The short throw ratio of 1.2:1 is a major asset, allowing for a 102 cm image from just 1.2 meters away. This feature makes installation in tight spaces easy and reduces shadow issues. Projection can extend up to 508 cm (200 inches), turning any wall into a giant screen.
HDR 10 support enhances contrast and dynamic range for compatible content, while the high-transmission coated lens optimizes brightness and sharpness. Autofocus and automatic keystone correction simplify setup, even for novice users.
Integrated Harman/Kardon Audio System
The integration of two 6 W speakers by Harman/Kardon sets the MoGo 4 apart from its competitors. This premium audio signature delivers balanced sound with clear mids and defined bass, a rarity for a projector of this size. Support for Dolby Audio, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus formats ensures broad compatibility with multimedia content.
The independent speaker mode transforms the device into a standalone Bluetooth speaker, adding an unexpected dimension of use. This versatility allows the MoGo 4 to serve as an audio system even when projection isn’t needed, maximizing your investment.
Exceptional Battery Life with PowerBase
The built-in 72 Wh battery provides up to 2.5 hours of video projection in eco mode, a remarkable performance for a projector of this brightness. The PowerBase Stand unlocks its full potential by doubling this battery life with an additional 72 Wh (20,000 mAh) battery.
This setup allows for up to 5 hours of continuous video projection in eco mode, or 2 hours in standard mode without compromising the 450 lumens. For audio-only use, battery life extends up to 12 hours with the PowerBase, turning the set into a truly portable entertainment system.
Charging is via USB-C with PD 3.0 protocol support, ensuring compatibility with modern chargers and fast charging. This approach eliminates proprietary adapters and simplifies transport logistics.
Connectivity and Google TV Ecosystem
Native integration of Google TV, powered by a quad-core CA53 processor at 1.35 GHz and 2 GB of RAM, provides direct access to major streaming platforms. This approach eliminates the need for external devices for Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and other popular services.
Modern connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, an HDMI port with ARC support, and a multifunction USB-C port. This setup meets current needs while preparing for the future. Chromecast and DLNA support make streaming from smartphones and tablets easy.
Quick start (STR) reduces wait time between power-on and use, a crucial aspect for a portable device. The 16 GB storage, optimized by Google TV, prioritizes streaming while keeping space for essential apps.
Practical Use and Versatility
The MoGo 4 excels in a variety of uses. Indoors, it instantly transforms a living room into a home theater. Outdoors, its extended battery life and robust build make it the perfect companion for summer evenings. For professionals, the low latency (35 ms in optimized mode) and extensive connectivity make presentations easy.
The low noise level (≤28 dB at 1 meter) preserves the sound environment without distraction. This discretion, combined with Harman/Kardon audio quality, creates an immersive entertainment bubble that’s respectful of your surroundings.
The included magnetic creative filter adds an artistic dimension, allowing for custom visual effects for special events or creative projects. This attention to detail exemplifies XGIMI’s premium approach.
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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the MoGo 4 replace a main TV?
For users who value flexibility, yes. Its native Full HD resolution and 450 lumens brightness are perfectly suited to controlled environments. However, in very bright rooms, a traditional TV remains better suited for intensive daytime use.
How is the projection quality outdoors?
Excellent in the evening and acceptable in late afternoon shade. The 450 ISO lumens provide a clear image as soon as ambient light decreases. For outdoor daytime use, choose shaded areas or wait until sunset.
Is the PowerBase essential?
No, but it’s highly recommended. The MoGo 4 works perfectly on its own for short sessions. The PowerBase becomes essential for feature films, series marathons, or intensive professional use, while also improving stability.
How does it perform with game consoles?
Very well. The 35 ms latency in optimized gaming mode rivals dedicated TVs. The native Full HD resolution and 60 Hz smoothness provide a satisfying gaming experience, especially on a large screen.
Is the autofocus reliable?
Yes, it quickly adapts to changes in distance and surface. The system automatically detects necessary adjustments, even with slight movements. For fixed installations, it can be disabled to save energy.
Can the MoGo 4 be used while plugged in continuously?
Absolutely. The 65W power supply allows for continuous use without degrading the battery. This flexibility is ideal for semi-permanent setups where battery life isn’t a priority but compactness remains important.
What is the actual LED lifespan?
The stated 25,000 hours equate to about 10 years of real use at one hour per day. This longevity eliminates maintenance costs and ensures stable brightness throughout its lifespan.
Is the Harman/Kardon sound sufficient without an external system?
For most uses, yes. The audio quality far exceeds that of standard TVs and is suitable for movies, series, and music. For audiophiles or very large rooms, an external audio system is still preferable and can be easily connected via Bluetooth or HDMI ARC.
