Projectors / XGIMI
XGIMI MoGo 4
A gimbal-mounted, battery-powered Google TV projector you can aim anywhere.
Overall score 6.9/10
Pros
- + The built-in gimbal is the best setup experience in the category — aim it anywhere and it corrects itself
- + Battery powered, so it genuinely works outdoors or in a garden
- + Google TV with a properly licensed Netflix app, which many rivals lack
- + Harman Kardon speakers punch above the size
Cons
- − 1080p only — it is not a 4K projector in any sense
- − 450 ISO lumens needs a properly dark room
- − HDR10 does not work over HDMI, only from internal apps
- − XGIMI publishes neither a contrast ratio nor a light-source life figure
XGIMI MoGo 4 review: what the specs say
A gimbal-mounted, battery-powered Google TV projector you can aim anywhere. At $499, XGIMI's 2025 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the projectors we compare run from $499 to $7,999. It scores 6.9/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Setup & Placement at 9.5/10 — lens shift, zoom, auto keystone and how forgiving placement is. The weakest is Brightness at 4.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: 1080p only — it is not a 4K projector in any sense; and 450 ISO lumens needs a properly dark room. Every specification on this page comes from XGIMI's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
