JMGO has unwrapped its ultra‑portable PicoPlay projectors—PicoPlay and the battery‑powered PicoPlay+—promising couch‑to‑camp‑site movie nights without the bulk of a full‑size beamer. Weighing just 0.73 kg and only 85 mm in diameter, each unit is coffee‑cup‑sized, yet can throw a Full‑HD image up to 200 inches
Key Specs at a Glance
- Resolution & colour: True 1080p, HDR10 support, 90 % DCI‑P3 gamut
- Brightness: 400 ISO lumens (PicoPlay) / 450 ISO lumens (PicoPlay+)
- Mounting freedom: An 88‑degree rotating gimbal plus autofocus and auto‑keystone make ceiling, wall or even tent‑flap projection a twist‑and‑play affair
- Smart OS: Certified Google TV for Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and over 10,000 apps, with Google Assistant voice search and Chromecast built in
Local Availability & Pricing
JMGO reports that global sales have commenced via its web store, and Philippine tech retailers are already arranging stock for Q3 2025. Early‑bird pricing converts to roughly ₱16,700 for the mains‑powered PicoPlay (US$299) and ₱25,100 for the 10,000 mAh battery‑equipped PicoPlay+ (US$449). Expect bundles to pop up on Lazada, Shopee and brick‑and‑mortar chains like Abenson and Anson’s once shipments land.
Why It Matters for Filipino Users
With many Filipino households living in condo units or shared spaces, a projector that stashes in a backpack yet pumps out a 200‑inch picture offers a pragmatic alternative to bulky TVs. Its built‑in 8 W 360‑degree Dolby‑Audio speaker also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker for beach trips, barkada game nights or impromptu corporate decks—no extra soundbar or power bank required. And because it runs full Google TV, local OTT apps like iWantTFC, Vivamax and NBA League Pass should install with ease.
Editor’s tip: Pair the PicoPlay+ with a 100‑inch foldable fabric screen (widely available for under ₱1,500) and you’ve got a pop‑up cinema perfect for provincial fiestas or barangay‑hall film viewings—no extension cords needed for up to three hours.
