Aurzen is upgrading Full HD pocket projectors with the ZIP Pro, a portable device that delivers native 1080p viewing within a 586g folding form factor. Its 10.7mm optical engine produces 200 ANSI lumens, while autofocus and four-point keystone correction simplify setup. Beyond its higher resolution, the projector supports AirPlay, Miracast, DLNA, and Google Cast, while AirLink P2P enables screen mirroring without Wi-Fi. USB-C connectivity also allows direct projection from compatible devices, including the Nintendo Switch.
The expanded connectivity helps Aurzen differentiate the ZIP Pro from its earlier 720p model while broadening its uses across entertainment, gaming, travel, and presentations. Its built-in 38Wh battery provides up to 2.5 hours of viewing, reducing reliance on fixed power sources. By combining improved image quality with flexible connectivity, Aurzen can target consumers seeking portable alternatives to televisions and conventional projectors.
