Is the projector can be both a smartphone and hospotem powerbankiem? Just so you can briefly describe ZTE Spro2, great projector of ZTE, unfortunately very expensive.
Projectors no strangers to the pages of Spider’s Web too often. I guess that is because they do not perceive this as an innovative plot. Finally, in which the projector is fun? They are output from one lamp or the other. Boredom.
Nothing could be further from the truth – ZTE shows that extremely interesting innovations can be introduced also in this segment.

What is this item so special? Android!
Yes, Spro 2 is a projector-driven mobile operating system, so that gives a very wide possibilities. All this we can do on your smartphone is also available on the projector.
We have access to the Google Play store, so we can install any app or game. For Spro 2 I plugged rains and raced in NFS: Most Wanted, and struck enemies in Nova 3 screen diagonal of 120 inches. With boredom browsed the mobile Facebook lying in bed and reading status on the ceiling, and then I played playlist from Spotify listening to music on the built-in speakers.
The biggest advantage Spro 2 is a multitude of applications.
This is however, equipment mainly directed to the user office in large corporations. Sam worked once in a media house and preparing, and I presented presentations to customers. I never had the confidence that another company is a projector for presentations, so I took it on his own. The projector was serious size, so I finished the bag with the laptop on one arm and a bag with the projector on the other.
Spro 2 great would check in this context because of its miniature size. it is not a hardware pocket, but it should easily fit into a pocket in the bag laptop, and certainly in a backpack. Customer business community likely will fall also appeal to the possibility of its use as a mobile hotspot (I had no problems with the loss of range) or power-bank.
the built-in battery allows for 3 hours at medium brightness, so give itself can raising the power supply. Unfortunately, full brightness is reserved only for work on the cable.
the most important is the image
for the first time the projector I have used watching the final of the Europa League – Sevilla (sponsored by ZTE) won with Liverpool. in the dorm which brought the projector is a special room TV screen, combined with the darkness outside the windows gave excellent conditions for projection.
I had the tripod to position the projector perfectly to the height of the screen, but even so the picture is distorted (trapezoidal). The projector uses a correction effect of “Keystone” to the displayed image was rectangular, regardless of the angle of incidence of rays.
Of course it is worse, if we want to display the image in the day. Spro 2 is equipped with a lamp with a brightness of 200 lumens, so twice lighter than the previous model. Such clarity can be achieved but only on mains power, and if we use the battery we have to settle for lower twice.
If you compare this with larger projectors brightness, it Spro 2 refers painful defeat. Justify it, however small size.
When you want to display something in the day that the picture will not be perfect, but 100 percent. visible and sharp. the latter will take care autofocus, which in a few seconds adjust to the distance from the screen or wall. it works great, and even if wailed that you can use manual tuning.
I happened to see on the wall a short film from YouTube with the Warsaw pub around noon and even though he was very faded a big screen doing a great impression. Its maximum size is 120 inches, but only at 720p.
My slight concern is for the lamp, which according to ZTE withstand is up to 20 thousand. hours.
No man lives the image
the projector looks very nice, it is rectangular with rounded corners. with playing with a metal and plastic from the bottom, from which protrudes a foot. The projector can be put foot and adjust the position of the screen, or also be mounted on a tripod. This is achieved great writing down the thread. Thanks to the projector could also use in locations without access to bases. It took me a tripod and the wall.
complain I can for it on foot, which can raise the projector only one height. there is no regulation.
the projector does not slip even after the glass table due to rubber feet.
from the top we have a 5-inch HD display with a resolution of 720p. the screen does not equal this in the top smartphones, but the pact – we used it just to find the right material or turn projector. of course, nothing prevents to use it as a normal smartphone. Let’s do it, but in the long run is awkward.
with the projector used like a tablet, because the screen all the time is oriented horizontally. ZTE has also prepared an application for remote control, so if for some reason we can not use the screen is enough to run the application on your smartphone. Lag is not large but noticeable. Sometimes the application instead of the projected image displays a black screen.
Android – Old but hale
Spro 2 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, and though it is already age system, it does not can be considered it as a disadvantage. When using the equipment I never felt that the old Android is a hindrance.
This is because it equips ZTE Spro 2 dedicated overlay. The screen is divided into several sections, depending on what you are looking for. At this major find quick settings widget, which allows you to (y) to connect the projector lamp, auto focus and brightness.
All the necessities are on top and the whole work intuitively. Well, except for one moment – unlocking. We do not move your finger anywhere and hold on the screen.
Just by holding create folders. Just as applications that can be embedded in the grid 2 to 5.
Performance
The quad-core processor and 2 GB of RAM are doing theirs. The projector does not have any problems even with the most demanding games.
I tested N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom Edition, Need for Speed Most Wanted Asphalt 8: Airborne, and none of these titles have not noticed any cutoff in the animation.
Just great with web browsing and video playback in HD.
Speakers
They are located at the bottom of the device and play decently when you want to play a movie during a presentation in a small conference room or watch a movie in the room. Speakers are playing a very clean even at maximum volume. This is not large, but still slightly higher than the top smartphones.
at the end of us respond themselves to the fundamental question.
Do we need Spro 2?
It’s a great hotspot, decent, portable projector, interesting smartphone, and roomy POWERBANK. Very nice to have on hand device that meets all of these qualities. It is a pity that the manufacturer wishes for not less than 4 thousand. zł. The high price can significantly reduce the number of potential interested, because too much can buy 4 devices: smaller hotspot, brighter projector, faster smartphone and a larger power bank.
Here, however, we are all integrated and therefore Spro 2 can be a great choice for companies and corporations. This will save a lot of the west, because … it just works – without any fine-tuning focus and cables.
