This little foldable projector can make up to an 80-inch image.
If watching movies on your phone’s small display just isn’t cutting it, Aurzen has developed a tri-fold mini projector you can slip right into your pocket or bag. I got to check it out at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and am now convinced a tiny projector could be just the thing I need to level up my viewing experience, whether at home or traveling.
The Zip Projector is a square-shaped device that’s 1-inch thick and about 3 inches tall and wide — making it resemble a bulkier Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Motorola Razr. Unfolding the device lets you project content at a good level and a straight angle, allowing the projector to serve as its own stand, too. It weighs about the same as an iPhone 16 Pro Max, Aurzen says. Weighing it in my hand, I felt like I could throw it in my bag and barely notice it.
The Zip can project movies, photos and social media apps to up to 80 inches in size. You can either mirror your phone’s screen or connect an HDMI dongle into a TV, laptop or gaming system to project what’s on there. The Zip works across iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Currently, resolution tops out at just 720p, but Aurzen says it hopes to bump that to 1080p in its next version. Colors looked vibrant and clear enough when I saw a demo projection of stained glass windows, but bumping that resolution definitely wouldn’t hurt. The Zip also has a 100 ANSI lumen brightness and two 1-watt speakers.
