We're currently entering our third heatwave of the year so far, and like us, we're sure you're doing what you can to get through it. If that involves taking your evening movie viewing outside once the temperature is slightly cooler, then we have just the deal for you.
The Xgimi Mogo 4 received four stars in our review, and has now dropped to just £379 at Amazon – a discount of £130, or 26 per cent. A hot deal for the hot weather.

The Xgimi Mogo 4 packs a lot of ability into a small package. Set up is simple, it's small and light enough to take wherever you want, and its picture manages to be sharp and punchy. A great option for al fresco viewing.
The Xgimi Mogo 4 is a dinky little thing, about the size of a water bottle. The actual projector folds out from the stand, and packs the Google TV platform. That means you get Netflix, Apple TV, Prime Video, ITVX and Disney+, but not Channel 4 On Demand or BBC iPlayer, which are sizeable omissions.
You can access them using Google Cast, but that's considerably less convenient that native app support.
Bluetooth and wi-fi come as standard, while HDR support is limited to HDR10. And it has a host of different picture presets to choose from, as well as the ability to tweak your own.
While it can't match a dedicated home cinema projector – and we wouldn't expect it to – the picture quality is certainly impressive. Tree branches are crisp against the background, and black levels impressively deep. Vibrancy can be a bit heavy handed at times, but that's to compensate for outdoor viewing conditions – though it's something to note if you will use it indoors as well.
Still, for £379 at Amazon, the Xgimi Mogo 4 is a great buy, and one of the better ways to survive a heatwave.
