XGIMI MoGo 4
The LED version of XGIMI's MoGo 4, sharing the Laser model's 2.9 lb body, 360-degree stand, 71Wh battery, Google TV and dual 6W Harman Kardon speakers for about $190 less. ProjectorCentral measured 404 lumens against a 450 ISO rating, and What Hi-Fi praised a sharp, punchy picture while noting thin sound and slightly over-saturated color. It switches to Eco mode automatically when unplugged, which is how it reaches its rated 2.5 hours.

Our Verdict
The MoGo 4 Laser's body, stand, 71Wh battery and Google TV for about $190 less. ProjectorCentral measured 404 lumens, a touch brighter than the Mars 3 Air's 399. It ranks fourth because What Hi-Fi found its sound thin next to the Mars 3 Air's 8W Dolby pair and its color slightly over-saturated, and its LED picture trails the Laser model's richer triple-laser image. It still beats the Dangbei Freedo on measured brightness (404 vs about 310 lumens) and speaker output.

Alternatives to Consider
Nebula Mars 3
Nebula (Anker)
Nebula's dedicated outdoor projector, and the only battery model in this group rated at 1,000 ANSI lumens. ProjectorCentral confirmed the rating, and The Smart Home Hookup's battery test held close to full brightness for just under two hours, then ran just over five hours in Eco mode. An IPX3 splash-resistant body, a 185Wh battery and a 40W speaker make it a self-contained backyard cinema, at the cost of a 10 lb chassis and an older Android TV 11 platform without native Netflix.
XGIMI MoGo 4 Laser
XGIMI
A 2.9 lb triple-laser portable rated at 550 ISO lumens, with a built-in 360-degree stand, Google TV with licensed Netflix and dual 6W Harman Kardon speakers. Trusted Reviews and Expert Reviews both found its picture brighter and richer than other compact portables. The weak spot outdoors is the 71Wh battery: rated at 2.5 hours in Eco, it lasted 92 minutes at maximum brightness for Trusted Reviews and ran out during a garden screening in What Hi-Fi's test.
Nebula Mars 3 Air
Nebula (Anker)
The lighter, cheaper sibling of the Mars 3: a 3.7 lb native 1080p LED projector rated at 400 ANSI lumens, which ProjectorCentral measured almost exactly (399 lumens peak). It adds Google TV with licensed Netflix and dual 8W Dolby speakers that Creative Bloq and How-To Geek both singled out as excellent. The Smart Home Hookup ran it for 3 hours 23 minutes on battery, but at about 128 lumens, so it is a full-darkness projector once unplugged.
Dangbei Freedo
Dangbei
The least expensive Google TV pick in this group, a 3.1 lb 1080p LED projector with a 165-degree gimbal stand and a protective carry case in the box. Trusted Reviews and Pocket-lint both rated its picture good for the price, but ProjectorCentral measured about 310 ANSI lumens in Movie mode against a 450 ISO rating, and its 60Wh battery is rated at 2.5 hours only in Eco mode. Pocket-lint saw about half the charge gone after an hour.
