XGIMI Halo+ Portable Projector, Native 1080p Full HD Video Projector for Home & Outdoor, Android TV 10, Automatic Screen Alignment, 900 ANSI Lumens, Voice Control, 2* 5W Harman/Kardon Speake
After extensive research, I decided to purchase the XGIMI Halo and it was definitely the right choice as it did not disappoint! The design is sleek, compact, portable and user friendly. I had no trouble installing Netflix using XTV manager. The picture quality is amazing and you get a true cinematic experience especially when paired with my boom speakers to get surround sound. With the two hour battery life I will be looking forward to an outdoor cinema experience with the kids when the weather permits!

The Halo is on pair with the other projector this company does. Amazing quality (picture and product). Outstanding customer service. But for me. the size and weight of this projector outweighs the brightness gains that provides over the Mogo Pro. Battery is not great neither. There was an issue with the advertised capacity of the battery and what they delivered. I contacted the manufacturer and they clarified it for me.
Overall it’s an amazing projector, but for my needs, the Mogo Pro+ is a better fit.

Lovely compact device; a similar size to a Sonos One speaker. Feels very substantial.
Setting up is really easy; using an Android phone it inherited my wifi settings. Also, as the auto-focussing works superbly it feels easy to put it away in the knowledge that setting up, the next time it’s brought out to be used, takes seconds.
I’ve used the projector against both a white wall, to produce a ~80″ image and a 100″ portable screen. Both were excellent. Plenty bright enough, even with lights on in the room. Brightness is good just using the battery but even better when the power supply is used. Sound is good too, plenty big enough for the rooms that I’ve used it in.
The well-documented absense of an integrated Netlix app is a little irritating and although not beyond the wit of man to get around (I’m using a Now TV stick having also used the side loaded Android app version) it really is something that would be great if Xgimi got sorted. The presense of other apps (Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BT Sport) made this highly usable straight out of the box.
I’ve had some contact with the Xgimi support and have been very impressed by the promptness and quality of the support given.

What amazing image, bright cinema-quality in the living room. However, it is not perfect. The android system is not the best and lacks real apps, Netflix is still an issue, and limited with what you can install. I would have been pleased if this was nothing more than a projector without the system. Attached to my Apple TV means I get all the apps and tools I need to make this work. At times there is a lip-sync issues, like old karate films where the lips move and the words come after, but this could be due to slow internet at times as it does not appear to be consistent, and is an issue with only some apps. Connected to my AppleTV I can watch Netflix as if a cinema is in my living room. I have not been successful using the Xgimi apps as a remote as none seem to recognise this device, and airplay on android is not perfect as the quality of the image is less than perfect, but connected to my AppleTV I am able to airplay, stream and more. Overall pleased with the purchase but hope future updates can solve some of the issues it currently has.

I’ve been using it for a while and I’d say it’s nice projector for home and office.
PROS: Compact size, mobile device. Picture brightness at max 600 with battery (or 800 plugged in) is quite good.
Fast autofocus. Sharp details (as for budget projector) (Attached image don’t reflect actual sharpness). Works super quiet, fan never distracted me. Sound quality is nice and clear.
CONS: No horizontal auto keystone correction… on the side mode you need manually correct keystone points.
Some people are not happy that Netflix is not integrated, I use HDMI cable with laptop and it’s fine for me.
Conclusion: I was looking for something to watch movies on large screen. At first I was thinking about super small projectors but their 200-300 ANSI lumens looks too low for brightness, where XGIMI HALO offers 600-800 in it’s compact size, price with discount for this projector is ok.

I purchased this Xgimi Halo to replace my previous projector in “the man cave”. The old projector had a really loud fan, and with the projector being located behind our heads, it was a pain.
So off I went to look for a new projector.
I have a blackout blind in my room, but light seeps through the sides still, so I needed a projector which was good in a light-ish room. The higher the Lumens the better.
This projector is 600-800 Lumens depending on if you have it plugged in to a mains or running off batteries.
Once unboxed, I set it up and turned it on. The usual AndroidTV setup started, similar to an Nvidia Shield. However, the automatic setup in Google Home didn’t work; wouldn’t see the Halo. Not to worry, I manually set up the WiFi and then the rest was simple.
The projector has a very good user interface, so much so that I’m considering not using my Nvidia Shield Pro as it plays almost everything fine.
Netflix and Amazon Prime Video don’t show as being available for the Halo, but I believe you can side load them. Xgimi apparently are working on getting the apps approved for use on the device.
So… Keystone Correction. If you use this to centralise the image, you cannot use 3D or Game mode. Logically it makes sense but it does mean that unless you have the projector in the exact perfect place, then you cannot use these features. For me, the projector is behind the sofa so the image needs to be tweaked to project it correctly onto my Duronic 90″ Framed screen. Keystone 4 point correction made this perfect… but no 3D movies…
What about gaming? Well, I’ve not hooked my PS5 up to it yet, but I imagine 60fps will be fine as some of my movie files are 60fps as a test.
When I go into YouTube, the quality is set to 4K which downsamples to 1080p for a slightly sharper image. Nice.
Plex works great – again, playing 4K movies as “Direct Play” so it handles TrueHD / Atmos / DTS / AC5.1 without needing to convert it.
Disney+ also plays without any issues, but I think it defaults to 1080p for quality.
I have not tested the battery life yet as I don’t plan to move it about.
At the start of the review, I mentioned how I wanted to replace my loud projector. Well, I can’t hear the fans in this one! My CCTV fan is louder than this!
Would I buy this again? Maybe – but only when in a sale as it is still quite expensive.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 star was the lack of native support for Netflix although you can still watch netflix by installing xtv manager – it’s just a bit clunky. Also the battery only lasts about 2 hours, not the 4 advertised. The projector itself is great – good picture, brightness, sound and connectivity options. I use it all the time. For the money, though, I wish they supplied a tripod.

The projector is really good for the size and value.
Extremely bright compared to many of the other portable projects, for example Nebula Mars II Pro. Really great auto focus and sounds great for the size.
It runs Android TV so you can install all the apps you’d need, with the one exception of Netflix. Netflix need every manufacturer to go through a certification process for Digital Rights management reasons, and Xgimi are in the process of completely this. Until then, you can not use the Netflix app of the Play Store, but there is an old version of the app that can be used if you are stuck (but I found that this only displayed content at 480p, which was rather blurry compared to the other 1080p content you were streaming). Hopefully this comes in 2021, and then this will be even better.

Highly recommended projector with built in speaker. No need for external speakers and on a 100 inch Amazon screen you can really see the quality. Great for movie nights!

This is a really nice piece of kit. Great picture and excellent brightness for a portable projector. Not mad about the Android TV operating system, it lacks access to a lot of the apps in the standard Google Play store, including Netflix. A real shame, Netflix is my main source of viewing these days, but a number of workarounds can be found on the internet, which work okay.
I had some initial problems with the included remote connecting, but got it working using the Android TV Remote app on my phone. Remote feels a little cheap for such a premium product, and no included AAA batteries, minor niggle, I know.
Just to mention, the projector battery is only 5400mAh. Haven’t really tested it for duration as yet, so time will tell how well that lasts.
Well after months of research and considerations I zeroed in on this product. The product seems expensive for a not so well established or known brand but decided to take my chances and I must say I have been extremely happy and satisfied with this product so far.
Things I like :
-Best in category and price range
– Amazing picture quality @1080p and Ultra HD up scaling is amazing too.
-Auto Focus and Keystone correction make setup anywhere hassle free. Does not need to be kept right in front of the screen.
-3D function is a treat with the right file and glasses(need to spend extra on the Active shutter glasses)
– Brightness good enough in dark or mildly lit rooms
– inbuilt speaker good enough to fill up medium sized room
– Inbuilt Android Tv 9 is a big boon. Have been using mine connected to Fire TV stick though.
– Remote functions easy to use.
– Good build quality. Not plasticky at all.
– Virtually noiseless
Things that could improve:
– Battery capacity not upto the mark or as advertised.
– Heard mixed opinions about support services. Have not had need to contact them yet though.
– could have come with a carry case.
– Two HDMI/ USB ports would have been amazing.
Wel all in all really happy with the purchase so far. Home Movie experience has been breathtaking. Have been flaunting this product with friends

I previously had the xgimi mogo pro which was very impressive, my first portable projector, very pleased with it. I upgraded to the halo as using it both portable and at home, this one is brighter and working better in more direct sunlight. For a portable projector it’s one of the brightest out there. Picture quality very good and colours are more natural than other portable projectors out there. Good sound from built in speakers

Really need to be dark room to get the best out of the projector but it is a great piece of kit. I watch BT Sport direct from the inbuilt app and its great.

Ok so Netflix didn’t work out of the box but there is a workaround. I’ve been watching Netflix on this every night and it’s fantastic. The app straight out of the box doesn’t work but there is a documented fix for this. Best portable projector on the market currently.

I had high expectations for this product for the price and ive got to say it is amazing, the battery is not as long as advertised but you could easily watch a 3 hour movie which is plenty I suffer from the rainbow effect which is apparent but I soon got used to it it is easy to setup and works flawlessly by far the best and brightest portable projector on the market today the sound quality is very clear fantastic bit of kit and fits nice in a old camcorder case with all the accessories.

I bought this from XGIMI UK official website with 10% off using code 202001ANKIT which is the cheapest I found online.
It’s got to be my favorite gadget. It’s great for watching movies, iptv, games, while being portable for travel.
Pros:
1. Brighest portable projector 800ANSI lumens
2. Highest resolution on a portable projector 1080p with 4k support(downscaled to full hd)
3. Colors are accurate
4. Android TV interface is pretty good
5. harman kardon speakers fill the room with decent sound
6. 3D Support
cons:
1. No Netflix support (yet) though Xgimi claims it’s in process (amazon prime was recently added)
2. When using keystone correction there’s a dim light frame around the screen which could be distracting at times
3. battery life is not the best and brightness decreases when not plugged in
4. No Tripod included in the pack (basic need should be included in the box)
Overall very happy with it. using it as a 2nd tv in the bedroom mounted to the headboard of the bed using a gorilla pod. also got a vintage camera bag to carry it around and protect from dust.
The projector is really good, it is still portable (although not super small) and the picture quality is good.
Probably a tad overpriced and the Netflix thing is annoying, another annoying thing is the Disney Plus app seems to have a really dark picture … like 30% less bright or something.
I solved investing 30 quid in a Firestick, which I use for everything now (I don’t use Android TV anymore).
If you don’t want to invest a single penny after this, probably I’d say 3 stars … but with a Firestick is a solid 4 starss projector imho.

Setting up is really easy; using an Android phone it inherited my wifi settings. Also, as the auto-focussing works superbly it feels easy to put it away in the knowledge that setting up, the next time it’s brought out to be used, takes seconds.
I’ve used the projector against both a white wall, to produce a ~80″ image and a 100″ portable screen. Both were excellent. Plenty bright enough, even with lights on in the room. Brightness is good just using the battery but even better when the power supply is used. Sound is good too, plenty big enough for the rooms that I’ve used it in.
The well-documented absense of an integrated Netlix app is a little irritating and although not beyond the wit of man to get around (I’m using a Now TV stick having also used the side loaded Android app version) it really is something that would be great if Xgimi got sorted. The presense of other apps (Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BT Sport) made this highly usable straight out of the box.

Brightness is good just using the battery but even better when the power supply is used. Sound is good too, plenty big enough for the rooms that I’ve used it in.
The well-documented absense of an integrated Netlix app is a little irritating and although not beyond the wit of man to get around (I’m using a Now TV stick having also used the side loaded Android app version) it really is something that would be great if Xgimi got sorted. The presense of other apps (Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BT Sport) made this highly usable straight out of the box.
I’ve had some contact with the Xgimi support and have been very impressed by the promptness and quality of the support given.
Fantastic projector, clear bright picture. I use mine under a garden gazebo and it’s still watchable in the daytime.

PROS: Compact size, mobile device. Picture brightness at max 600 with battery (or 800 plugged in) is quite good.
Fast autofocus. Sharp details (as for budget projector) (Attached image don’t reflect actual sharpness). Works super quiet, fan never distracted me. Sound quality is nice and clear.
CONS: No horizontal auto keystone correction… on the side mode you need manually correct keystone points.
Some people are not happy that Netflix is not integrated, I use HDMI cable with laptop and it’s fine for me.
Conclusion: I was looking for something to watch movies on large screen. At first I was thinking about super small projectors but their 200-300 ANSI lumens looks too low for brightness, where XGIMI HALO offers 600-800 in it’s compact size, price with discount for this projector is ok.

So off I went to look for a new projector.
I have a blackout blind in my room, but light seeps through the sides still, so I needed a projector which was good in a light-ish room. The higher the Lumens the better.
This projector is 600-800 Lumens depending on if you have it plugged in to a mains or running off batteries.
Once unboxed, I set it up and turned it on. The usual AndroidTV setup started, similar to an Nvidia Shield. However, the automatic setup in Google Home didn’t work; wouldn’t see the Halo. Not to worry, I manually set up the WiFi and then the rest was simple.
The projector has a very good user interface, so much so that I’m considering not using my Nvidia Shield Pro as it plays almost everything fine.
Netflix and Amazon Prime Video don’t show as being available for the Halo, but I believe you can side load them. Xgimi apparently are working on getting the apps approved for use on the device.
So… Keystone Correction. If you use this to centralise the image, you cannot use 3D or Game mode. Logically it makes sense but it does mean that unless you have the projector in the exact perfect place, then you cannot use these features. For me, the projector is behind the sofa so the image needs to be tweaked to project it correctly onto my Duronic 90″ Framed screen. Keystone 4 point correction made this perfect… but no 3D movies…
What about gaming? Well, I’ve not hooked my PS5 up to it yet, but I imagine 60fps will be fine as some of my movie files are 60fps as a test.
When I go into YouTube, the quality is set to 4K which downsamples to 1080p for a slightly sharper image. Nice.
Plex works great – again, playing 4K movies as “Direct Play” so it handles TrueHD / Atmos / DTS / AC5.1 without needing to convert it.
Disney+ also plays without any issues, but I think it defaults to 1080p for quality.
I have not tested the battery life yet as I don’t plan to move it about.
At the start of the review, I mentioned how I wanted to replace my loud projector. Well, I can’t hear the fans in this one! My CCTV fan is louder than this!
Would I buy this again? Maybe – but only when in a sale as it is still quite expensive.
The projector is really good for the size and value.
Extremely bright compared to many of the other portable projects, for example Nebula Mars II Pro. Really great auto focus and sounds great for the size.
It runs Android TV so you can install all the apps you’d need, with the one exception of Netflix. Netflix need every manufacturer to go through a certification process for Digital Rights management reasons, and Xgimi are in the process of completely this. Until then, you can not use the Netflix app of the Play Store, but there is an old version of the app that can be used if you are stuck (but I found that this only displayed content at 480p, which was rather blurry compared to the other 1080p content you were streaming). Hopefully this comes in 2021, and then this will be even better.

It’s great for making a 80 inch display but if you go beyond that like i did, going up to 200 inch can affect image quality

Highly recommended projector with built in speaker. No need for external speakers and on a 100 inch Amazon screen you can really see the quality. Great for movie nights!

I had some initial problems with the included remote connecting, but got it working using the Android TV Remote app on my phone. Remote feels a little cheap for such a premium product, and no included AAA batteries, minor niggle, I know.
Just to mention, the projector battery is only 5400mAh. Haven’t really tested it for duration as yet, so time will tell how well that lasts.
Things I like :
-Best in category and price range
– Amazing picture quality @1080p and Ultra HD up scaling is amazing too.
-Auto Focus and Keystone correction make setup anywhere hassle free. Does not need to be kept right in front of the screen.
-3D function is a treat with the right file and glasses(need to spend extra on the Active shutter glasses)
– Brightness good enough in dark or mildly lit rooms
– inbuilt speaker good enough to fill up medium sized room
– Inbuilt Android Tv 9 is a big boon. Have been using mine connected to Fire TV stick though.
– Remote functions easy to use.
– Good build quality. Not plasticky at all.
– Virtually noiseless
Things that could improve:
– Battery capacity not upto the mark or as advertised.
– Heard mixed opinions about support services. Have not had need to contact them yet though.
– could have come with a carry case.
– Two HDMI/ USB ports would have been amazing.
Wel all in all really happy with the purchase so far. Home Movie experience has been breathtaking. Have been flaunting this product with friends

It’s got to be my favorite gadget. It’s great for watching movies, iptv, games, while being portable for travel.
Pros:
1. Brighest portable projector 800ANSI lumens
2. Highest resolution on a portable projector 1080p with 4k support(downscaled to full hd)
3. Colors are accurate
4. Android TV interface is pretty good
5. harman kardon speakers fill the room with decent sound
6. 3D Support
cons:
1. No Netflix support (yet) though Xgimi claims it’s in process (amazon prime was recently added)
2. When using keystone correction there’s a dim light frame around the screen which could be distracting at times
3. battery life is not the best and brightness decreases when not plugged in
4. No Tripod included in the pack (basic need should be included in the box)
Overall very happy with it. using it as a 2nd tv in the bedroom mounted to the headboard of the bed using a gorilla pod. also got a vintage camera bag to carry it around and protect from dust.
Probably a tad overpriced and the Netflix thing is annoying, another annoying thing is the Disney Plus app seems to have a really dark picture … like 30% less bright or something.
I solved investing 30 quid in a Firestick, which I use for everything now (I don’t use Android TV anymore).
If you don’t want to invest a single penny after this, probably I’d say 3 stars … but with a Firestick is a solid 4 starss projector imho.
