Our Verdict

XGIMI MoGo 4

Epson Lifestudio Pop Plus

The Epson Lifestudio Pop Plus is better than the XGIMI MoGo 4, although they don't exactly fit the same niche. The XGIMI is a portable projector with an integrated battery, which lets you use it away from an outlet; you can also charge it through USB. The Epson, however, has no battery. But it's also brighter, has better contrast, and is more accurate out of the box, giving it noticeably better image quality.
