XGIMI refreshed its MoGo Pro lineup with the $500 MoGo 3 Pro, but the third iteration looks nothing like its predecessors. It’s been dramatically trimmed down to the size of a soda can and it’s about as heavy as a carton of milk. Instead of Android TV, it’s now integrated with Google TV so it offers native access to streaming apps.

The MoGo 3 Pro means you don’t need a dedicated smart TV, set-top box, or a smart TV dongle. It offers native access to any service that Google TV offers, so it’s good to run an app of your choice out of the box. It includes a remote in the package that sports dedicated shortcut buttons for YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a customizable button for a service of your choice.

The 8.1 by 3.7-inch soda can-sized body, 2.4-lbs weight, and a lanyard sticking out of the body all scream portability.

The MoGo 3 Pro sports a 1080p resolution, covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and has an ambient lighting feature that syncs with your music. A dedicated “extra powerbase stand” with Type-C output charges the projector. XGIMI’s collab with Google TV extends to two of its older offerings as well, the MoGo 2 Plus and the Halo+.

Priced at $400, the Elfin Flip is another new release that is also very clearly going for portability. It features an integrated stand that doubles as a handle. This one also comes with native support for apps and a 1080p resolution.

There’s also a new offering for a short-throw projector, the Aura 2, in case you need ultra-high brightness and color accuracy. Where the Elfin Flip maxes at 400 lumens, this one offers a total of 2300 lumens. Its DCI-P3 coverage is a whopping 99% and it’s certified for IMAX, too. The Aura 2 is a high-end device though and will set you back $2,700.

XGIMI also refreshed its Horizon Series debuted at CES 2024 with the Horizon S lineup: Horizon S Pro and Horizon S Max. The company is boasting a new Dual Light Tech 2.0 on these projectors which essentially combines both laser and LED for brighter, more accurate results. The S Series starts at $1,300.
