- Compact tri-fold design doubles as an adjustable multi-mode stand
- Supports USB-C video, Bluetooth headphones, and multiple wireless casting standards
What happened
Aurzen announced the upcoming release of the Zip Pro, a portable projector building on the success of its original Zip model first shown earlier in 2026. The standout feature remains its innovative tri-fold Z-design, which folds into a pocket-sized chassis while doubling as a self-supporting adjustable stand. The device now delivers a true Full HD native resolution with a 1920 x 1080 DLP system and increases brightness to 200 ANSI lumens, twice the output of its predecessor.
The Zip Pro incorporates practical hardware improvements such as a 10.7-mm optical engine to keep its slim profile, four-point keystone correction, and Time-of-Flight autofocus for easy setup. It supports a variety of connection options, including direct USB-C video input that works with phones, tablets, and laptops that use DisplayPort Alt Mode, as well as gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch without the need for a dock.
Why it feels good
This new iteration offers a substantial boost in performance while maintaining a truly portable form factor. At 586 grams, it is heavier than the original Zip but balances its compact size with enhanced projection capabilities, delivering a sharper and brighter image suitable for dark rooms and flexible viewing angles including ceiling and portrait modes.
Users also benefit from the increased battery capacity offering up to 150 minutes of playback in Eco mode—about 67% longer than the original model. Added convenience features like dual Bluetooth headphone support, low fan noise, and multiple wireless casting protocols provide a versatile experience whether used at work, travel, or leisure.
What to enjoy or watch next
The Zip Pro is well-suited for watching movies in intimate settings, sharing presentations without bulky equipment, or casual gaming. With a recommended screen size between 60 and 80 inches in dark environments, it creates an enjoyable large-screen experience from a small footprint. The lack of a native streaming platform means users will connect external devices to access preferred content apps.
Aurzen is currently accepting preorders for $579.99, with shipping set to start October 30, 2026. Early-bird pricing is available through mid-October in the US, UK, and EU markets. For those who value portability alongside improved image quality and advanced connectivity, the Zip Pro offers a promising upgrade over traditional pico projectors.
