JMGO has just revealed its latest leap in mobile entertainment: the PicoPlay Series, a pair of pint-sized projectors designed with social streaming and mobility in mind. Roughly the size of a coffee cup, the PicoPlay and PicoPlay+ combine compact form factors with surprisingly capable projection technology. In a time where flexibility and personal content consumption dominate, JMGO’s move is a natural response to the growing trend toward versatile, portable tech.
Designed for a Stream-Centric Generation
The PicoPlay series is purpose-built for today’s streaming habits. Instead of simply shrinking the projector into a smaller shell, JMGO gave it modern smarts. Both models feature native 1080P resolution via DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, delivering sharper visuals than many other projectors in their size category. They’re equipped with 400–450 ISO lumens, which makes them substantially brighter than typical 100–200-lumen pico projectors.
These mini projectors are Google TV certified, providing access to a massive library of over 10,000 apps and 700,000+ movies and shows. The interface delivers intelligent content recommendations and smooth playback with minimal latency—tailored for users who bounce between Netflix, YouTube, and social platforms.
Hardware Built for Everyday Use
JMGO emphasizes usability with features that minimize setup and user friction. A gimbal-like internal mechanism handles both autofocus and auto-keystone correction, realigning the image automatically as the device is tilted or moved. The design eliminates the need for manual calibration, which is often a frustrating part of small projector usage.
User interaction is also rethought: there’s no need for a remote thanks to touch-sensitive controls and an action button that gives fast access to frequently used apps or shortcuts. These choices suggest JMGO envisions the PicoPlay more like a smart device than just a projector.
Social and Vertical by Design
Going beyond typical media projection, the PicoPlay line integrates social-oriented features. For instance, Vertical Play mode optimizes content from TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, allowing users to view vertical videos in full scale without awkward rotation. There’s also a Bluetooth speaker mode with 360° audio playback, enabling the device to serve as a standalone speaker when projection isn’t needed.
Ambient light effects and soft shadow filters offer a bit of atmospheric flair. While more of a lifestyle touch, it shows JMGO‘s intent to make the projector an integrated part of a social or chill environment, rather than just a viewing tool.
Mobility Without Compromise
Both projectors weigh less than 0.74 kg and measure 85mm in diameter, making them light and easy to carry. An optional Power Bank Stand—a sleek black accessory—acts as both a base and an external battery, offering up to four hours of untethered runtime. Whether for backyard movies or spontaneous presentations, the PicoPlay line aims to deliver without relying on a wall outlet.
The JMGO PicoPlay series is currently available on Amazon, with offline retail distribution expected to roll out across Europe soon.
