The JMGO PicoPlay is an innovative, portable projector that stands out in the mini-projector market. It’s designed to be more than just a projector; it’s a 3-in-1 entertainment hub that combines a Full 1080P HD projector, a Bluetooth speaker, and a dynamic ambient light. The device is roughly the size of a travel mug, making it incredibly easy to carry in a backpack or even a large pocket and it is also a powerbank but needs a mains plug
Design and Portability
The PicoPlay’s most striking feature is its unique canister-like design with an 88° rotating gimbal and something I have not seen before. This clever design allows you to easily project images from a wall to the ceiling with minimal effort. It weighs just over 2 pounds, and while it doesn’t have a built-in battery, it can be powered by a 65W Type-C power bank (or an optional stand with a battery) for true portability.
Picture Quality and Performance
For its small size, the PicoPlay delivers surprisingly good picture quality. It features a native 1080p Full HD resolution and a brightness of 400 ISO lumens (the PicoPlay+ model has 450 ISO lumens). While this is bright enough for well-lit rooms, it performs well in dim or dark environments, producing a sharp and colorful image up to around 50-60 diagonal inches. The projector also supports HDR10 and covers a wide color gamut (124% of Rec. 709), which helps make colors pop. The Flexismart system is a major highlight, offering automatic autofocus, keystone correction, and screen alignment, which simplifies the setup process to just a few seconds. The manual keystone correction feature is very fast compared to others here. The remote control has tactile clicky responsive buttons.
Smart Features and Usability
One of the PicoPlay’s biggest selling points is the integration of Google TV. This means you have access to a vast library of streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video right out of the box, with dedicated shortcuts on the remote. The projector also features a special Vertical Play mode, which is optimized for content from platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, a unique feature for a projector in this category. Additionally, the device can be used as a standalone 8-watt Bluetooth speaker, with a dynamic ambient light mode that can sync with music, turning it into a party hub.

Conclusion
The JMGO PicoPlay is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a versatile and highly portable entertainment device. It’s ideal for movie nights in a dark room, backyard parties, or as a secondary display for gaming or presentations. While the lack of a built-in battery is a drawback for a device marketed as portable, its other features, like the Google TV integration and the clever rotating gimbal, make it a strong contender in the mini-projector space. It’s best suited for casual users who prioritize ease of use and smart functionality over maximum brightness and premium features.

Recently JMGO launched the PicoPlay Portable Projector and as huge projector fans and several in use at the office and in house we had to test this out. Projectors for me are a favourite over a TV and has been for years and this will not change, however the technology is changing in projectors too and becoming more popular. Check out a first look and stay tuned for a full hands on demo soon and not a stock image review with no context.
Designed for seamless usability, the PicoPlay series introduces a simplified control interface featuring an action button for app shortcuts and touch controls for fast navigation, even in the absence of a remote. The auto-keystone adjustment is powered by a gimbal-inspired design that auto-focuses and aligns the image as the projector is tilted or moved. This hands-free calibration ensures instant setup with no manual adjustment required and deliver high-definition 1080P projection using DLP technology, supported by 400–450 ISO lumens of brightness.
This enables sharp, vibrant visuals that significantly outperform conventional 100–200-lumen projectors. Integrated with official Google TV, the projectors offer access to over 10,000 apps and more than 700,000 movies and shows, with intuitive content recommendations and low-lag streaming performance.
Measuring just 85mm in diameter and weighing no more than 0.74kg, the PicoPlay series is engineered for portability. Both models are compatible with JMGO’s Power Bank Stand, a sleek, all-black accessory that functions as a projector stand and provides up to four hours of battery-powered runtime, making the projectors ideal for parties, outdoor events, or movie nights off the grid.

The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro projector is one of their latest on offer and comes in smaller footprint than the Halo+ we did some time ago and offering pretty much the same package only slightly less in depth features inside however there is one or two new features welcome.
Packed into a smaller size robust square can with a super clean finish you will find all the ports on the rear plus a fan and a covered woofer which looks cool and having this covered means no dust getting in the way as projectors are known for collecting dust and it is wise to place it in a position away from windows not sitting on a chair and away from a wall.
Setting up is simple and you can simply sign in with your google account and away you go all your apps will be there and anything else is on the play store.
This can be left on a table,desk or chair or ceiling mounted as it can be altered in the settings for your preferences and this also means it is portable, even with the Halo+ I was able to bring it on my travels and now with this one even easier and again can be moved between rooms in the house. The MOGO 2 pro also supports power banks which is a huge bonus for those who travel and there is no mains if you are outdoors for example of course in dry weather.
The picture is excellent as you will see on a professional pull down screen and a blank wall I have tested in on in my house and whats more with the auto focus and auto keystone correction which is one of the best I have seen on a projector makes setting it up and moving from room to room a simple process.
Having tested for some time now watching YouTube films on Netflix,Plex Prime and more the quality is great and up there with the last model this has 400 ISO lumens and is bright in comparison to other projectors we have reviewed which is many.
The audio is excellent too with excellent bass but this has no EQ settings on that front, there is picture settings as before and overall you will not be disappointed with the results you get here.
You have a new protect your eye mode mode which means if you walk by the lens you will not get blinded which I often did on the previous model and now that is a thing of the past and works well and should be standard on all projectors.
You can cast to the projector and connect via Bluetooth and use a speaker too which is handy there is all the inputs you need for your consoles too which makes it a very versatile product to use all round not talking up huge space like a TV does and now fits in with my home set-up really well and certainly one to look at if you want a new media viewing experince without the clutter.

The GELEIPU X5 Smart Projector has been my tech of choice to check out recently and projectors are king in my house. Long gone now is the TV as a centerpiece in any room bar one and I will soon phase that out too as I no longer see the TV as attractive and it takes up space.
With projectors for me these offer a bigger screen with no room lost at home and if like me you have a portable screen it can be brought into any room and used outdoors which is great during the Summer months.
This projector is larger than what I currently have but not an issue they do come in all shapes and sizes now but they are getting smaller which is good news.There is plenty of options here built in such as options to plug in consoles headphones AV and more and all is kept simple with a simple UI to navigate on the set-up menu and then you have your own Android TV and once logged in you are good to go.
GELEIPU X5 Smart Projector – techbuzzireland
The sound is decent too with nice base and giving a cinematic experince just like the options to customize the colour of screen and so on, you are best using a white based wall or pull down screen if you have one or you could get a roll up one from Amazon for about 70 euro that sticks onto a stand and is portable.
Picture quality is great and not dark like others tested in the past so it is bright and the darker the room the better still applies being honest but overall a decent bright picture is to be had and get full benefit.
There is little to complain about here apart from the keystone setting which is the minimum however when placed facing a permanent place it will just focus and adjust for you and give you a great visual experience all round be if for movies and gaming and then pop on your headphones and just be immersed all round.
Check the video review below for more and what to expect.
I have several projectors at home and love them all and are one of my favourite pieces of tech to review and enjoy watching my content on. Wanbo have sent us their latest on offer which is the Wanbo-X2 Max projector packed with features, the spec sheet looks good but it is all down to how it comes across for your viewing that counts and we will be taking a close look at this model, one of several the company has on offer at affordable prices.
With this projector you can do many things with and feel more immersed with the bigger picture so to speak and not only that you get big sound which is great, some projectors dish out poor sound but not this one it is loud and punchy with some nice bass in there no distortion or lag latency either noted during testing.

The picture though is what people like to know about these projectors and the picture is good on this no matter what you may use it for, it can be used for gaming watching movies and much more and you can of course cast from your device and hook up your laptop and consoles to see things in all their glory.
The quality is decent even on a darker wall I tried out and came out good overall we have native 1080p present and 450 ANSI which gives a brighter video to watch unlike 720p would in a projector. Some say you would need over 1000 lumens or ANSI to get a better picture which is a fair comment it all depends on how good you want the quality to be but as you will see in the video review below 450 is plenty for simple home use.

This projector has an AI image engine and auto focus and 4 points keystone correction again often left out from previous ones I have review at this price and it works well here and perfect if you have no idea spot to place or mount the projector you can still get the picture square on a wall even if not place directly in front of it.
How big you want the picture also depends on you and the closer the better quality which is obvious but there is three noted focal lengths or screen sizes from 50 120 inches which is ideal and of course you need to try out the 120 inch, if you have a white background of projector screen you will get better results too but this can be projected onto blinds or a darker wall and the picture comes through and not seeing pixels from the desired distance.
Wanbo-X2 specs
The UI is simple to use and navigate and there is tonnes of preloaded apps there is some restrictions as always with projectors but you can get around these easily enough with the know how or just ask someone who does. The noise is also not too loud as some can be from projectors and is tolerable when in use and if you turn your volume up like you should there will be no fan noise to worry about. To top it off you can also use this as a general music player/speaker by simply connecting your device and it has decently loud 2X5W speakers and finally Dual Band 6 Wi-Fi as mentioned above so no lag latency seen during my use so far.
One small gripe for me is the power cable is a bit on the short side.
Projectors are a must have in any home these days in my opinion as they take up less room stop having that TV centerpiece in your home and in general gives you a bigger screen and in most cases any games console or device can be plugged in giving you a larger screen to showcase things, and speaking of they are great for presentations..
One thing though is the cost of projectors and in most cases again you get what you pay for and quite often overpriced imo. Over the last while I have tried several projectors and the the saying certainly applies however this time around you get more for your money and it is an easy recommend if you are just starting off with a projector or want to buy a second one for your home for your kids etc.
You will see more of what I mean in the video review below with what you get for you money here including a good picture and ports at hand and you can also screencast, you have the Google play store in there too with 12000 lumens which is a high figure for this price point and it shows in comparison to others ones covered. Not only that you have keystone correction which is not really seen at this price point alongside the other features with 8K decoding, not that there is much options out there for that now it has kind of future proofed itself. Also what is cool you have a voice control remote control which is mega handy rather than typing.
You also get a cool carry case for the projector making it portable for travelling which I did on my holidays recently and it made for better viewing over the typical country hotel TV that lacks with locked ports, with this projector as mentioned you have access to the play store and apps already loaded such as Netflix and Disney+ and that is probably enough for many folk. You can also plug in gaming consoles which is great for the kids and will keep them occupied.
Check the video review below for a full tour of the device and see what you can expect.
