In a Nutshell
The Xgimi MoGo 3 Pro is a highly portable DLP LED projector boasting a refined design, near-Full HD image quality, native Netflix, and Google TV. While it lacks the sheer brightness and contrast of premium large-format projectors—and does not include an internal battery unless you opt for the additional tripod stand—it packs plenty of features into a compact cylinder that fits comfortably into any backpack. With automatic focus, auto-keystone, a quiet operation, and good built-in audio for its size, the MoGo 3 Pro checks nearly all the boxes for a travel-friendly home cinema companion.
Design and Ergonomics
Fresh, Cylindrical Aesthetic
The MoGo 3 Pro departs from the older MoGo design with a sleek, cylindrical shape in a metallic beige finish—resembling a high-end Bluetooth speaker. It weighs just 1.1 kg and stands about 20 cm tall with a 9.5 cm diameter footprint. A built-in pivot stand at the base lets you tilt it upwards or downwards to aim your image precisely.Auto-Keystone & Auto-Focus
Xgimi’s ISA 2.0 system automatically corrects the trapezoid distortion, meaning you don’t have to place the projector perfectly perpendicular to your wall or screen. It also offers obstacle avoidance, adjusting the projected image if it detects objects on the wall. Auto-focus is triggered whenever you move the projector, though you can also reset focus with a single remote button if it ends up slightly blurry.Connectivity
Under a rear flap, the MoGo 3 Pro offers:- Micro-HDMI input (no full-sized HDMI included, and no bundled adapter—this might be inconvenient if you want to coect a laptop or gaming console).
- USB-A port for media playback.
- USB-C port dedicated to power (not for data transfer).
Google TV with Native Netflix
Unlike the earlier MoGo 2 Pro, the MoGo 3 Pro has native Netflix support alongside Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, Molotov, and more—no more side-loading or fiddling with subpar workarounds. This is a major quality-of-life improvement over its predecessor. The remote control is well-designed and includes a built-in microphone for Google Assistant, but, unfortunately, it’s not backlit—a minor disappointment for dark-room usage.Noise and Cooling
During testing, the MoGo 3 Pro’s faoise never exceeded about 33 dB. While you can hear a faint hum if the room is silent, the speaker volume typically masks it.Image Quality
Resolution & Wobulatio
Using a 0.23-inch DMD chip from Texas Instruments, the MoGo 3 Pro has a native 960×540 resolution but uses wobulation to simulate 1920×1080. This approach produces an image that is effectively near-Full HD—definitely a step up from many budget pico projectors. Edges can sometimes appear slightly soft, especially in the corners, but overall sharpness in the central area is pleasing for a portable device.Brightness & Contrast
Xgimi rates brightness at 450 ISO lumens, a slight bump from the MoGo 2 Pro’s 400 lumens. While it’s not super bright, it’s good enough for a dimly lit or dark room. Contrast measured around 245:1 in measured results, which is low compared to some larger home cinema models (e.g., ultra-short-throw laser projectors). Don’t expect high dynamic range or inky blacks, but for a travel-friendly or secondary screen solution, it’s perfectly fine.Colour Accuracy
Out of the box, the “Standard” preset skews cold, with a white temperature near 9000 K. Switching to the “Office” preset yields a warmer balance around 7460 K. Still a bit cool, but more acceptable. Measurements showed a delta E of around 6.8, so the colours aren’t ultra-precise, which is typical of small portable projectors. Most casual viewing won’t be hampered, but don’t expect professional-grade colour fidelity.HDR Support
The MoGo 3 Pro technically supports HDR10 content, but due to limited brightness and colour volume, HDR playback looks similar to SDR. It caps at about 41 cd/m² brightness in HDR, which is modest. HDR mode also showed significant colour drift (delta E ~17), meaning it’s not delivering a true HDR experience. Still, some streaming apps may force HDR content.Audio Performance
One standout improvement is the integrated audio design. The lower portion of the cylinder houses the speaker system, essentially turning the MoGo 3 Pro into a compact Bluetooth speaker. While it won’t match the richness of a dedicated soundbar, it outperforms many competing pico projectors.
- Volume & Clarity: Loud enough for small rooms, with decent clarity for dialogue.
- Bass Response: Limited, but still better than many mini projectors.
- Bluetooth Speaker Mode: You can fold it down to a more compact form factor, pair it with your phone, and use it purely as a speaker.
Gaming Performance
With a measured input lag around 40 ms, the MoGo 3 Pro isn’t aimed at serious gamers. It’s fine for casual titles, local co-op, or single-player adventures but not ideal for competitive or twitch-based games where ultra-low lag is crucial. The refresh rate is locked at 60 Hz with no advanced gaming features.
Power Usage and Optional Battery
USB-C Power
Thanks to USB-C support, the MoGo 3 Pro is easier to power on the go. The included adapter is compact, and if you have a powerful enough USB-C power bank, you may be able to run the projector in portable scenarios. Measurements showed about 46.2 W power consumption during standard use.Optional Tripod with Built-in Battery
Xgimi also sells an accessory pack for around £68 extra. This bundle includes a small tripod and an integrated battery, which can power the projector for up to around 2 hours. That’s enough to watch a shorter film or a couple of TV episodes outdoors or in a location without easy access to mains power.Pros and Cons

Conclusion
The Xgimi MoGo 3 Pro is an excellent option if you’re looking for a portable projector that’s easy to set up and move around. It adds all the must-have features missing from its predecessor—most notably native Netflix support and a more polished Google TV interface—while keeping auto-focus, keystone correction, and a friendly design.Though its brightness and contrast can’t compete with larger, more expensive models (like the Hisense C1 or Xgimi’s own Horizon Ultra), this little cylinder is ideal as a second display or travel projector. If only it had a standard HDMI port and built-in battery, it might be near-flawless for the casual user on the go. Still, it’s tough to beat the MoGo 3 Pro’s blend of portability, design, and all-round performance in its price class.
