A Closer Look

Out of the box, to the untrained eye, the XGIMI Halo+ looks essentially identical to the original Halo. it even weighs in at essentially the same weight. However, while XGIMI had differentiated between the Mogo Pro and Mogo Pro+ by using a different housing color, both the Halo and Halo+ come with the same cool gray metal enclosure.


Looking at the front, the lens of the XGIMI Halo+ is located in the same area as for the original, but now also includes the same sensor array for both automatic keystone correction and auto focus, which has been present on all their current projectors, but was limited to auto focus on the original Halo.


Looking at the rear of the unit, things look quite familiar with the power port on the left, next to the audio, HDMI, and USB connectors. On the very right is the power button itself.


Both sides utilize the functional design of the original Halo with the single, perforated metal sheet wrapped around the sides and front of the unit. As Harman Kardon is providing the speakers, its branding can be found here as well.


The controls on top remained the same as with the previous-generation Halo, along with the multi-color status LED towards the center. The same goes for the underbelly of the XGIMI Halo+ with its rubberized base, mounting possibility, and kick stand. That stand allows you to increase the angle at which the unit projects for a bigger picture closer to your projecting surface while slightly reducing maximum screen size.


With the PSU being slightly larger than what we have seen on the Elfin or Mogo Pro+, it weighs in at a nice and hefty 327 grams. Combined with the weight of the remote and localized power cable, the whole setup will weight around 2.2 kg. That said, while XGIMI does advertise the Halo+ to be portable, a case for it is sold separately. Ideal would be a travel bundle to give people a small benefit when buying the XGIMI Halo+ for portable use.
