6. XGIMI Halo+: Best portable projector with a built-in battery
Price when reviewed: £749 | Check price at Amazon
Internal batteries allow you to use a projector without mains power or the need for a power bank and the Halo+ is the most capable option with one built-in. Its peak brightness of 900 lumens is higher than most of its rivals and image clarity is superb; we were consistently surprised by the amount of detail in the 1080p images during testing.
The smart auto-focusing and auto-keystone correction both worked well and ensured we got the Halo+ up and running with minimal fuss. Software installation was equally smooth, with our reviewer able to have Google TV, Amazon Prime and Disney+ ready to use within ten minutes of turning the projector on.
The Halo+ goes a little overboard with motion compensation, leaving movement looking artificially smooth, so steer clear if you’re sensitive to the soap opera effect. But if you aren’t phased by it and want a fully-featured, battery-powered projector that delivers on the picture and audio front, the Halo+ is just the ticket.
