Our Verdict

XGIMI MoGo 2

NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3)

The XGIMI MoGo 2 and NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3) have slightly different usages. The XGIMI is a fully portable projector, as it's small enough to be carried around. The NexiGo is bigger and meant for use within the home. The NexiGo is the brighter projector of the two and has much better contrast. The XGIMI has a fully functioning Android TV implementation, while the NexiGo requires a streaming dongle to access any streaming apps. Ultimately, the NexiGo is the better option if you're looking for something to use in your home, while the XGIMI is the better option to carry with you.
