ZTE - Spro 2 Wireless Smart DLP Projector - Silver

ZTE has hit a home run with this device. I had read about this device previously, and I couldn't wait for it to be available. This is a 2nd generation device, and ZTE has really improved from the first device. The SPro2 is a smart, WiFi capable pico projector. What does that mean? It is an Android (4.4 OS) powered device, which makes it smart. You can download apps directly on to the device (just like your would with your smartphone) because you can connect it to any WiFi network. I stream SlingTV, NetFlix, and GooglePlay content. The SPro2 also has 16GB ROM, so I can download movies on to the device (or business presentations) when there is no WiFi available. Since it is a projector, it has a 200 lumen lamp, and it can throw the projection up to 120". It also projects at 720p quality. At 200 lumens, it has been more than capable to deliver enough brightness for most indoor uses. The SPro2 has JBL speakers integrated into the device. The device fan is very quiet, and with the integrated speakers, the sound is of high quality. I have also connected my Bluetooth Speaker to the SPro2, and that is easy to set up and offers even more sound. The device supports HDMI connectivity. I have used this for business presentations from my laptop. You can also connect a USB drive or SD card for more memory or to access additional content. Lastly, it supports auto focus and auto keystoning, which are great added features. The package contains a carry case, HDMI cable, and a QR code to download a remote control app to your Android or Apple smartphone, The remote control is really cool, and it mirrors your projector display screen for easy navigation and control. I would recommend this device to anyone seeking the lastest in cool innovation. The projector is great. I love the Android interface the ability to connect to any WiFi network. This device has it all!

First, it is a very nice device. It runs on android, so it is an android device. You can download apps from Google Play, and even browse the internet. It does have on-screen keyboard like a tablet/smartphone. It is a touchscreen. Surprisingly bright and clear when projecting, with only 200 lumens. Looks like more than that, even when my room light on (night time), still watchable but washed out. But of course its always better with minimal light or no light at all. You will get full brightness when plugged into power. It is a rechargeable batter and play up to 2.5 hours. It is Bluetooth and has wifi. Speaker was great! It has JBL speakers and surprisingly loud, its great in a room presentation. But i would prefer an external speaker for movie watching or probably a large crowd/audience. It connected to my Bluetooth soundbar great. Wifi was good. Now the cons: When plugged in to power while you watch, after a while it blinks (both the indicator and the screen) Search on internet about this and never saw an answer to it. Watching movies from my hard drive, plugged in the back of the device, will popup "play", "resume", "pause", and even the volume will pop out of the screen, without me touching anything, like 2-3 mins intervals. When the "pause" pops out, it pauses the movie. I havent tried from an SD card, nor using HDMI so I do not know if they are good or not. Did try mirror casting from my Samsung Tab A tablet (using a mirror casting app). It did work, but there are some lags, so it may be the device or the signals thru wifi. The fan, its is an ok fan sound, when you are close to it you will hear it. Once the device warms up more especially when the projector is on, the fan turns on. The fan doesn't really bother, it really depends where the device is to project to where you at. No auto zoom so you have to place the device physically to increase/decrease screen size. It does Auto-focus when it is moved to a new place, if it doesn't you can press the home button twice to auto focus. This device might not support iOS (haven't tried thru HDMI) because I did not see a good mirror casting app on appstore. I read a lot of forums about this devices' problems. Read and research this product. Such a high price device to have so may problems, this is the second generation of this product, still have a lot to improve. Good thing I started using it and start seeing problems before my 15 day return expires. I am returning the product.

This is an excellent projector. I did research but Bestbuy does not allow you to test in store. So after reading reviews and returning a few others. This was a sure winner. You can connect to an external speaker - but I did not need to since this is replacing the TV in my room. I hardly watch TV so it is useful for my youtube workouts and watching netflix etc. Slingbox on this sucks as well, so please don't waste your money. The trial period is extremely short, so I was charged without even noticing. The streaming flickers a lot, so it's not worth it. The visuals are quite impressive, I have dark curtains so once the glaring sunlight comes in, I just close them shut and no concerns here. The quality is def what I needed and everyone has seriously given me compliments. It is also quite easy to use because of the touch screen and being able to download apps and browse the internet without some clumsy feel. I gave it one less star due to the annoyance of Casting. It typically does not pick up my phone even with casting on...and it's even more annoying that my phone will cast to my tv somewhere else in the house and not to this. But that's the only downfall. See attachements. LOVE ITTTTTTTTTT.

We looked at a lot of small projectors both online and in stores before this purchase. It is a bit on the expensive side of the smaller units, but that being said, this thing is awesome! Love that it is a stand alone unit with no need to hook it to anything( unless you want to) if so it has HDMI, usb, micro sd slot and mirror cast. Battery seems spot on, screen is bright and clear, as is the projected screen as well. So far have used it for netflix, youtube and watching movies off a micro sd card. I was reading online that it can handle pretty much any size micro sd card, but have only tried it with a few 32 Gig ones, I will be grabbing a 64 and 128 to try with it. Oh, I would love to add that this thing is very quiet, Was not sure what to expect, as I have a small pico projector that also runs android os, but it sounds like a vacuum running when it's on, this thing is so quiet I had to hold it to my ear just to make sure the fan was really moving.. I do wish that Best buy offered a warranty on it, but sadly they did not. In conclusion, we are very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something smaller and more portable than a full size projector.

The SPRO2 makes watching movies on Netflix, live-stream DirecTV, and ESPN Watch during business trips and at home easy and enjoyable. Connecting a PS4 via HDMI to the projector will limit you to the speakers that are on the projector, only. To bypass this fault you will need to connect your PS4 to your home theater stereo receiver to its own dedicated HDMI "in" input, then use the receiver's video HDMI "out" port to attach to the projector. You will then be able to use your home entertainment audio for sound and this projector for video. The 720P resolution is good; but if you try to play PS4 games, or movies and live-steam, on an entire wall of a room, the picture can get fuzzy. Bottom-line: For optimal projection quality this projector requires a darker room and manage the image size to fit your needs. Depending on your internet download rate live-streaming is pretty flawless. The projector is mobile and lightweight and can accompany you in any room in the house that you need to live-stream and on any business trip without having to carry a large projector. I purchased an inexpensive BOSE bluetooth speaker (Soundlink) to provide better amplification of sound because the built in speakers can be weak if you are projecting for a group. Color "warmness" can be adjusted and auto-keystone, and auto-focus work great. The $100 off at Christmas "sale" makes the projector very affordable. Great product! I haven't tried using the USB yet so I'm not able to review that feature for this forum.

We just wanted to watch TV in bed but there wasn't a good place in the room to put a TV. A small portable projector would be perfect but they all seemed to have very low lumens and resolution. We're pretty happy to have found the SPRO 2. Besides a rich 720P resolution it packs a strong 200 lumens. Even with a light on in the bedroom the picture is perfect. The speaker is suitable since we are so close to the projector. We hooked it up the Directv Wireless Genie and now have all the content you could ask for. Then it got fun! Since it's an android device you can download apps. We have Plex, Slingbox, YouTube and more. Then it got more fun! Because it has great battery life and the Slingbox app I can watch the news in the shower. We keep finding fun ways to use it. Like most geeks I really love a device with a dozen different ways to hook it up and manipulate it. For the downside, the apps built for it are unreliable. I'm an uber geek but half the time the android remote control just won't connect. Since it's Android you can also cast from almost anything. I send content from my tablet and read books off the ceiling. Same problem though - random disconnects. We have a great network and live farm from other homes so it's instability in the apps. If the apps were more stable it would be a solid 5 stars. We love this thing and would buy it again.

I previously owned the Spro 1 and I couldnt believe the amazing qualityon every level... and versatility ... i actually ended up having to give the first generation to my older brother be ause hes an extremely busy ceo and absolteky wouldn't have the upper hand in business propsals, sales and presentation related work without an spro portable projector. I picked ip the second gen one shortly after and we both consider these staple ekectronics. We take them everywhere and they never fail to impress. Want go ace your power point presentation? Want entertain the entire neighborhood kids at night after a block party?... simply walk outside with a louder bluetooth speaker (harmon kardons the best in case u didnt know haha) and point rhis device at your garage door creating a drive in theater effect. Lets see... the pisdinbilities are endless... vending n festival set ups... if your alive musician why not have your own light show? Go camping and project conservation documentaries on redwood trees. The only thing i wont let you do is gift this to someone who doesnt love it as much as you do. This isnt something you toss to the kids. This is an anachronistic tesseract from a parallel dimension. Im just waiting to wake up... from this dream. But its still there! I feel blessed.

The ZTE SPro is a great little add on for a family movie night in the den or down in the basement. It's 1200 lumens and 110" projection capability make it a great projector for a dark room. I use mine in my basement with additional speakers to have movie night with the kids. The picture is sharp and impressive in a dark room. It is easy to set up and attach to your computer. It even can hook up directly to the internet using wifi. The two draw backs I've discovered are; the need for a dark room or the picture gets washed out in the light. and longevity. I found that after an average of 1-2 hours of use a day the machine began to over heat after just 6 months. Best Buy did a nice job of replacing it for me and I am not having any issues with the new one, yet. So, if the over heating after sustained use was a fluke, I wouldn't have anything bad to say about it. But we'll see. But over all, I like the projector. A crisp and big picture with good sound quality for as small and compact as it is as long as you have an appropriately dark room.
