XGIMI MoGo 4 Laser portable projector with battery review
A laser projector small enough to carry and run on its own battery — the light source decides how it looks, the battery decides where it goes, and both are stated.
The bottom line A laser source in a bag: the technology is the reason to buy it, the battery is the reason to carry it, and the brightness is the figure the maker leaves you to find.
Why the light source matters more than the size
A laser projector reaches full brightness immediately, has no consumable, and is stated at tens of thousands of hours where a lamp is replaced at a few thousand. In a machine designed to be carried, knocked and switched on and off casually, removing the fragile, ageing consumable is worth more than it would be on a ceiling-mounted projector.
What a battery costs
Light. A projector running on its own power has a hard ceiling on how much it can produce, and no design escapes it. That is why every battery projector is a dark-room or after-dusk machine, whatever the headline figure says.
What this listing does not state
A brightness figure in ANSI or ISO lumens, and a runtime. Those are the two specifications that decide a portable projector, and this page reports their absence rather than filling either with something plausible.
Where it is genuinely the right machine
A garden after dark, a bedroom wall, a room in a rented flat where nothing can be mounted. In those places the alternative is not a better projector but no projector, and this one goes in a bag.
What to pair it with
A folding outdoor screen, if it will be used outside. The gain of a proper surface is worth more to a modest machine than to a bright one, because it is returning a larger share of a smaller amount of light.

What we like, and what we don't
Strengths
A laser source in a machine that runs on a battery, which is unusual and is what the price buys
No lamp to replace, in a category where machines are moved and knocked
Genuinely portable: it goes in a bag and runs without a socket
Compromises
No brightness figure in a measured unit in this listing, so it cannot be compared to a machine stating ANSI or ISO
A battery projector is a compromise on light by construction — the constraint is the power available, not the design
Runtime is not stated in this listing, and on a battery machine that is the second specification after brightness

Questions people actually ask
Why is this filed under laser rather than portable?
Because the light source decides more about the machine than the battery does: it sets the price, the stated life and how the image looks. The battery is a convenience of transport. Both are stated, and the page says so rather than letting the category imply one over the other.
How bright will it be outdoors?
Bright enough after dusk on a modest image, and not in daylight. That is true of every battery projector regardless of the figure on the box, because the available power sets the ceiling. Dusk on a white wall beats midnight on a good screen with a dim machine.
5 500 ANSI lumens · Full HD 1080p · 4K input accepted · 3 000 000:1 stated contrast · 30 000 h stated life · 2 × HDMI 2.0 · 1.3× zoom · 15 W speaker
A laser projector with the most completely stated specification on this shelf — brightness in ANSI, light source life in hours, zoom range, HDMI version and speaker power all published.
Best for: A room with ambient light where a lamp replacement every few thousand hours would be a nuisance — a classroom, a lounge, a bright living room.
A 4K UHD DLP projector that states its brightness in ANSI lumens at a price where most of the shelf stops doing so — and a specification sheet that reads like a data table rather than a sales page.
Best for: A first 4K projector in a room where the light can be controlled and the machine can sit where the throw ratio wants it.
A 4K HDR projector with Google TV on board and a stated 3 000 ANSI lumens — the built-in system is the reason to choose it, and the reason to check licensing before buying.
Best for: Someone who wants one object rather than a projector plus a streaming stick, in a room where the light can be controlled.
