Aurzen is advancing its innovative triple-fold pocket projector with the new Zip Pro model, outfitting it with a Full HD display system, increased brightness, and improved connectivity options. Launching this fall, it offers a compelling blend of compactness and powerful projection capability for home entertainment and on-the-go use.
- Native Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution with 200 ANSI lumens
- Triple-fold z-fold chassis doubles as adjustable stand
- Supports wired USB-C video and dual Bluetooth headphones
What happened
Aurzen has announced the Zip Pro, an upgraded version of its original folding pocket projector first revealed at IFA 2026. This new model features a native Full HD DLP imaging system and doubles the brightness from 100 to 200 ANSI lumens, delivering clearer and more vibrant images suitable for home cinema in darker rooms.
Despite maintaining the original's unique triple-fold Z-shaped design that helps the device stand independently and fold compactly, the Zip Pro introduces several hardware improvements. These include a more powerful battery providing up to 150 minutes of playback in eco mode, USB-C video input supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode devices, and advanced autofocus and keystone correction for an easier setup experience.
Why it feels good
The Zip Pro balances portability with significantly enhanced projection capabilities, accommodating those who want a genuinely pocket-sized projector without compromising on image quality or usability. By keeping the folding design, users can carry and position the device flexibly for front, rear, ceiling, or portrait projections, making it highly versatile for different viewing scenarios.
Connectivity improvements also add to user satisfaction. Direct USB-C input allows wired streaming from compatible phones, tablets, and laptops without requiring wireless casting, minimizing latency. Additionally, the option to connect two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously makes it easy to enjoy private listening without disturbing others.
What to enjoy or watch next
This fall, those interested can preorder the Zip Pro for $579.99 with shipping expected to start by the end of October. The projector’s brightness and HD resolution make it ideal for movie nights, gaming, and presentations in dimly lit rooms, while its compact design is excellent for travel or small spaces.
Since it lacks a native streaming OS, users will benefit most by connecting external sources for content playback. Those excited by this type of innovative tech might want to watch out for future iterations or accessories that expand compatibility with popular entertainment apps and networks.
