Our Verdict

XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro

Anker Nebula X1

The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro is far cheaper than the Anker Nebula X1, but it's also significantly worse when it comes to image quality. This isn't a surprise considering the price difference and size difference; the Anker is a heftier, beefier product. It does have a retractable handle and a full suite of image correction features, making it rather easy to carry around regardless of its weight, but the XGIMI is so small that you can easily throw it into a backpack. Ultimately, if you're considering one, you're not likely to be considering the other. If you're looking for the cheapest possible portable projector, the XGIMI is up your alley, but if you're looking for a portable projector that can also double as a home theater option, go for the Anker.
