Our Verdict

XGIMI AURA

NexiGo Aurora Pro

The NexiGo Aurora Pro is better than the XGIMI AURA in all ways but one: smart features. While the XGIMI comes with a fully functioning Android TV 10 smart OS, the NexiGo has a barebones implementation of Android TV, with no apps, and requires a streaming dongle to stream content. Otherwise, the NexiGo has the edge in every category: it's brighter, has better contrast, has a wider color gamut, and is even capable of gaming at 1080p @ 240Hz without skipping frames.
