This little tube doesn’t look like much, but the XGIMI MoGo 4 is more than just a projector. It’s a portable entertainment hub—movies, music, even mood lighting all packed into a device not much bigger than a thermos. The big question though: is it bright enough to replace your TV? And what about the clever add-on that doubles its functionality? Let’s dive in.
Design That Balances Form and Function
XGIMI has a reputation for making beautifully intentional products, and the MoGo 4 continues that trend. At first glance, it looks sleek with its aluminum-style exterior and minimal branding. The projector sits on a rotating hinge—flip it up to power on, flip it back down to shut off. Simple, elegant, and practical.
It comes with two remotes: a tiny clip-on remote for basic navigation and a larger one with more shortcuts for apps like Netflix or deeper settings. The MoGo 4 also has a scratch-resistant lens and attachable filters for ambient lighting and music playback, giving it its “vibe machine” personality.
Despite its small footprint, everything about the build feels intentional—right down to the fan grills and threaded mount for accessories.
Performance and Everyday Use
Under the hood, the MoGo 4 projects in 1080p with 450 lumens of brightness. While that’s not enough to compete with a TV in daylight, it’s perfect for dim rooms, nighttime setups, or outdoor gatherings. Autofocus and auto-keystone correction (XGIMI calls it ISA tech) make setup effortless. Just point it at a wall or screen and it snaps into place almost instantly.
The dual 6-watt Harman Kardon speakers make this more than just a projector. The audio is clear, surprisingly full, and loud enough to hold its own outdoors. Combined with Google TV built in, you’ve got Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Prime, and the rest of your favorite apps without needing to plug in anything else.
Battery life clocks in at 2.5 hours of video or up to 6 hours of music playback when used as a Bluetooth speaker.
Who It’s For
The MoGo 4 fits a lot of scenarios. Think:
College dorms – perfect for studying with ambient music, or throwing episodes of The Office against the wall.
Camping trips – project movies inside your tent or on the side of your RV.
Backyard gatherings – set it up for a poolside movie or football game under the pergola.
Business travel – portable enough to run a presentation in a conference room without needing a bulky projector setup.
It’s not for someone looking for a permanent home theater replacement—brighter, laser-based models from XGIMI exist for that. But for flexible, fun, all-around use, it’s a perfect fit.
The Clever Add-On
Here’s the payoff I teased earlier: the optional stand. At first, it just looks like a standard tripod base, but it’s actually a battery extension. Clip it onto the MoGo 4 and suddenly the watch time jumps to 5 hours of video and 12 hours of music playback.
For something like a football game that runs long, this makes all the difference. The design is seamless—clip on, clip off—and it matches the MoGo’s aesthetic perfectly. It’s one of those thoughtful touches that shows XGIMI really considered how people will use this product.
Final Thoughts
The XGIMI MoGo 4 isn’t here to outshine your OLED TV. Instead, it’s here to give you flexibility, portability, and a sense of fun that a TV simply can’t. It’s a projector, a speaker, a vibe machine—and with the battery stand, it becomes a true all-day entertainment device.
If you’re looking for intentional design that marries form and function, this little tube delivers. Whether it’s poolside movies, dorm room hangouts, or camping trips, the MoGo 4 fits right in.
