At CES last year, ZTE displayed a curious gadget that was a combination of a WiFi hotspot and a portable video projector. That device got launched in July 2014 as the ZTE LivePRO. Early this year, we’re seeing a new device along these lines – mostly the same functions but without the hotspot capability – and ZTE is calling it the ZTE SPRO, a portable WiFi-connected Android-based wireless projector.


The ZTE SPRO is an interesting take on Android, mainly because it leverages on the capabilities of the platform and applies to a traditionally wired device like a projector. The SPRO provides 100 lumens of portable projector functionality, and because it is WiFi connected and Android-powered, you can project content straight from your favorite apps.

The device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, powered by a 1.2Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core processor, supported by 1GB of RAM. There’s a 4-inch display where you can interact with Android and the device’s projector functions. You can also project directly from a USB drive via the USB port, and the standard way from your laptop’s HDMI port.

The device has 5,000mAh of battery power, and you can use it as a power bank as well if you’re running low on juice and there isn’t a power outlet in sight. The device also has Bluetooth connectivity, and there’s a microSD slot for more storage input options. The ZTE SPRO is available right now for pre-order via the manufacturer’s website for USD$399. And if you check ZTE’s booth at CES 2015, you might just get a chance to see this up close.
