I have discovered a newfound passion for projectors of late, especially for smaller rooms that simply can't accommodate a smart TV. I replaced my Android TV with a smart projector and it was an eye-opening moment for me. When looking at high-quality smart projectors that come with Android TV or Google TV, there's no one doing it better than XGIMI.
If you have been on the hunt for a cheap projector that comes with reliable smarts, the ongoing October 2024 Prime Day has brought forward a fantastic deal. You can grab the XGIMI MoGo 2 projector with a Full HD 1080p output for less than $400. This is the lowest price we have ever seen for this model, so there's no way you can miss out on this 48-hour sale.
I was very excited for one of the XGIMI projectors to go on sale last Prime Day, and my goal was $500. What's crazy is that you can now get one for $349 only during this Prime Big Deals Day discount period.
✅Recommended if: You need a portable projector with an HDMI port, USB-C port, Android TV, and stereo speakers, all under $400.
❌Skip this deal if: You need a projector with a built-in battery.
The USB-C power port is one of the biggest draws here, in addition to the other specs of the MoGo 2 Pro. If you're on the go, this tiny projector that weighs only about 1kg can be powered by a 20,000mAh power bank thanks to USB-C input. So you don't even need to be near a wall socket to use it anywhere.
Since the MoGo 2 Pro comes with Android TV 11, you can install a variety of apps, although Netflix needs to be installed via a workaround. XGIMI kindly provides step-by-step instructions for this in a pamphlet in the box.
You can use the projector hands-free with Google Assistant, cast your phone or computer to it via built-in Chromecast, and automatically scale the picture output thanks to auto keystone correction onboard. It's very much a plug-and-play experience with the MoGo 2 Pro, and it doesn't run loudly like most generic projectors, making it ideal for people who are new to projectors.
A smart XGIMI projector was the one thing I wanted to buy last Prime Day. This isn't the same model as the one that I wanted, but it is still an excellent projector by all means.
