Portable Smart Projector Brings Streamed Movies On The Go

XGIMI, a Chinese projector manufacturer, has unveiled a preview of its new projector, the MoGo 3 Pro’s successor, the Play 6. Building on the tubular design, the Play 6 introduces a larger battery, a new gimbal stand, and a slightly brighter display.

Impressive Portability and Competitiveness in the Market

Launched today in China, XGIMI’s latest 1080p projector could potentially adopt the MoGo name for international markets, should it expand globally. With its 20,000-mAh battery offering 2.5 hours of runtime, the Play 6 outshines Samsung’s Freestyle 2 in terms of portability, positioning itself as a competitor to Dangbei’s Freedo model.

The Play 6 also appears to be the brightest option in this category, delivering 500 ISO lumens. In comparison, the Freestyle offers 230 ANSI lumens, and the Freedo reaches 450 ISO lumens. While this brightness may struggle against direct sunlight or strong overhead lighting, it should perform well in a dark room with its Full HD big-screen visuals.

If XGIMI releases the Play 6 outside of China, it will likely replace the GMUI 6.0 operating system with Google TV, similar to the MoGo 3 Pro, which runs on Google’s streaming platform. The projector offers connectivity through 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi, and users can also connect devices via HDMI 2.1 or USB.

This DLP projector covers 124% of the Rec.709 color gamut, supports HDR10/HLG content, and includes features like auto keystone correction and autofocus. It is SGS-certified for low blue light. The projector also has two 6-W speakers tuned by Harman Kardon for a mobile movie soundtrack. Additional features include low input lag for gaming, motion compensation for smoother action scenes, and AirPlay for screen sharing.

Smart Features and Design for Easy Setup and Use

XGIMI’s new smart projector comes with a mini Bluetooth remote, featuring AI voice recognition and attached to a lanyard that slots into the integrated stand. The stand provides 360-degree adjustment for flexible setups, and it also has a base with a colorful ring light that reacts to sound.

The Play 6 measures 96.5 x 96.5 x 207.6 mm (3.8 x 3.8 x 8.2 in) and weighs 1.31 kg (2.8 lb). It also includes a unique lens attachment that can transform the projector into a mood light. Currently, China offers the Play 6 for 2099 yuan (about $290), and experts expect the international price to be higher if the projector is released globally.
