Smaller projector currently on sale, though the top-tier model I frequently utilize is worth the increased investment
In the realm of portable projectors, two devices have been making waves - the Nebula Anker Capsule 3 and the Xgimi MoGo 4. Let's delve into their features and find out which one suits your needs better.
The Nebula Anker Capsule 3, with its three-star rating, offers a compact design that measures 16 x 8 x 8cm (hwd) and weighs a mere 950g, making it ultra-portable and easy to carry in a large coat pocket. Despite its small size, it delivers 1080p resolution with decent contrast and surprisingly deep, neutral black tones. However, it struggles with brightness, especially in dark scenes, and has difficulty picking out subtle background details.
On the other hand, the Xgimi MoGo 4 boasts a can-shaped build, making it easy to take on the go. It delivers 1080p full HD resolution with good brightness (around 300-400 ANSI lumens). The projector is known for sharp, detailed images with solid color saturation, better suited for various lighting conditions compared to typical mini projectors.
When it comes to sound performance, the Anker Capsule 3 features an 8W mono speaker described as "impressively large and dynamic," with strong bass presence without distortion, though bass can feel a bit detached. The Xgimi MoGo 4, on the other hand, comes with dual 3W Harman Kardon speakers (total 6W) that produce clear, balanced stereo sound with decent bass for the form factor.
In terms of price, the Nebula Capsule 3 is generally more affordable, often discounted from a higher MSRP (~£500). The Xgimi MoGo 4 is typically priced slightly higher, often around $500-$600 depending on region and deals.
Comparing the two, the MoGo 4 may edge out slightly due to better brightness and color saturation handling in varied lighting. However, the Anker Capsule 3's mono speaker delivers powerful audio for its size. If portability and budget are priorities, the Nebula Anker Capsule 3 is an excellent choice. For a better audiovisual experience at a somewhat higher price, the Xgimi MoGo 4 offers stereo sound and slightly better picture robustness in more lighting situations.
The Xgimi MoGo 4 is worth a second look if you're looking for a portable projector that's easy to live with and gives a good bang for your buck. It is available at Amazon for £509.
