Amazon’s spring sale is around the corner, but you can already take advantage of some great early deals. I’ve been testing portable projectors for a bunch of different use cases, but few, if any, have come close to the complete package offered by the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro. It’s my favorite of the lot, and right now, you can get it in a sweet bundle with the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro and the PowerBase Stand (which you honestly need to get the most out of the device) for $368.99, down $130 from it’s price at launch in the fall of 2024. This is an all-time low price, according to price-tracking tools.
The projector has two ports—a USB and a micro HDMI—so you can project from a laptop or phone, or you can simply screen mirror from your devices via the Google TV OS. Also, since the projector is “smart,” it already comes with the typical apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon, and you can download more from the Google Play Store and control it with a remote. With 450 lumens and 1080p, it’s best used in dark rooms, but you can get away with some ambient light (I make good use of it in my backyard).
Where this projector truly shines is with the auto keystone focus feature. If you move it anywhere, it’ll autocorrect to make the image look its best, regardless of where it’s set up. It’s user-friendly and made to be set up quickly, without a lot of fiddling. It also comes with a powerful 5W Harman Kardon speaker, which sounds great—about on par with a speaker like the Echo Dot.
