It\u2019s got everything you need inside a compact little beamer \u2014 everything but a battery that you must provide separately for true portability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">I\u2019ve lived with a MoGo 2 Pro for the last month, using the little guy in a campervan around Europe, in a tiny off-grid home on a mud-soaked field, and in a surf shack buffeted by North Sea winds. In all cases, it\u2019s proven itself to be an adaptable all-in-one source of shareable entertainment that rarely disappoints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component

It takes about 10 minutes to go from factory settings to having my credentials entered into six media services. Netflix must be installed via a workaround since the media giant only <em>officially<\/em> <em>supports<\/em> a handful of projectors. While it\u2019s relatively easy to perform the simple hack, most people won\u2019t feel comfortable installing the app from outside the Google Play Store. There\u2019s also the option to just cast Netflix from your phone since the projector has Chromecast built-in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">Xgimi\u2019s little projector has otherwise been perfectly stable, if plodding, as the UX often lags presses on the Bluetooth remote control. But it\u2019s not often I find a $500-ish projector with a speedy interface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out\">\n<div role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Zoom\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"visible z-30 w-full origin-center transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out\">\n<div class=\"cursor-zoom-in\">\n<section tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro gallery carousel\" class=\"duet--article--gallery relative my-40 ml-[-20px] w-[calc(100%+40px)] overflow-x-hidden outline-none sm:ml-0 sm:w-full\">\n<div class=\"px-20 leading-100 sm:px-0\">\n<p class=\"mr-8 inline pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-medium tracking-1\">1<!-- -->\/<!-- -->6<\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>You can barely see the display while playing music in this muddy field.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-1 w-full hidden\">\n<div class=\"cursor-zoom-in\">\n<section tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro gallery carousel\" class=\"duet--article--gallery relative my-40 ml-[-20px] w-[calc(100%+40px)] overflow-x-hidden outline-none sm:ml-0 sm:w-full\">\n<div class=\"px-20 leading-100 sm:px-0\">\n<p class=\"mr-8 inline pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-medium tracking-1\">1<!-- -->\/<!-- -->6<\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>You can barely see the display while playing music in this muddy field.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">Under normal use, the MoGo 2 Pro will start in less than five seconds from standby. But reattach the power source, and it boots from zero to Android TV in about 50 seconds, then takes another 10 seconds or so to perform all the automated screen adjustments (which can be disabled if you want).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">The MoGo 2 Pro has a built-in time-of-flight sensor that can find a flat, obstacle-free surface to project the image onto. It then automatically focuses the image and corrects the keystone to create a properly aligned rectangle. It\u2019s not perfect, but it does usually find the surface I\u2019m aiming at, only with a smaller image than I want. Fortunately, Xgimi gives you the option to quickly jump into manual adjustment mode to fine-tune the display if you want \u2014 no hunting through menus. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">While Xgimi\u2019s second-generation screen adaptation tech isn\u2019t as good as the marketing promotions suggest, it\u2019s an improvement\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22548487\/xgimi-horizon-pro-4k-hdr-review-projector-portable-specs-price\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over the previous version<\/a>. It was so useful on the MoGo 2 Pro that I ticked the setting to automatically adjust the keystone every time the device was moved \u2014 and I moved it a lot. In this way, I could avoid the cumbersome manual adjustments and just give the beamer a nudge until it produced the desired results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">The projected image is about what you\u2019d expect at this price range: a modest 400 ANSI lumens spread across a 1920 x 1080 image that looks better at 30 inches (when all that light is concentrated) than it does at 200 inches. And while HDR10 is supported, it serves more as a bullet point on a spec sheet than anything you\u2019ll notice during viewing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">If you\u2019re not too fussy, then you can watch some casual YouTube videos in a room saturated by ambient light, but the <em>MoGo<\/em> 2 Pro is best viewed in the darkest room possible.

Then, it sits silently waiting for a Bluetooth connection to transform the projection box into a passable speaker for music with balanced sound from a pair of 8W side-firing speaker drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">For its size, the projected image and sound produced are reasonably good.

When connected to a 10,000mAh (40Wh) battery, the MoGo 2 Pro was able to boot the projector and play the first 40 minutes of <em>Babylon<\/em> when set to \u201cbright\u201d and \u201cmovie\u201d presets. When connected to a power meter, I could see that power draw averages around 40W in Eco mode, which climbs to about 48W on average with Eco mode turned off. Xgimi lists the required power for the MoGo 2 Pro at 65W.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">I do find it odd that a projector designed for all-in-one portability lacks any onboard controls beyond a simple power button. More than once, I misplaced the Bluetooth remote, requiring me to grab my Apple or Android device to launch the Google Home app\u2019s remote control. It worked fine, but I was usually sitting so close to the MoGo 2 Pro that built-in playback and volume controls would have been more convenient. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>A look around back at the ports, vents, and passive radiator bass.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple min-h-[80px] first-letter:float-left first-letter:mr-18 first-letter:font-polysans-mono first-letter:text-100 first-letter:font-medium first-letter:leading-[.72] first-letter:text-blurple first-letter:selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:first-letter:text-franklin\">Photographer Chase Jarvis is credited with saying \u201cthe best camera is the one that\u2019s with you,\u201d a sentiment that can be applied to displays, speakers, and media streamers. The MoGo 2 Pro might not be the brightest video projector, best-sounding Bluetooth speaker, or most powerful media streamer, but it\u2019s so small and compact that you can easily toss it in your luggage or backpack to take with you wherever you go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple\">Yes, the MoGo 2 Pro ditched the internal battery from the original MoGo Pro in favor of a better speaker. But it can still be powered from a battery pack you might already own.
