Consumer review (newegg.com)

Pretty cool but limited usefulness

 

I have mixed feelings about this device. In all fairness, it performs decently well for its size and the fact that it is battery powered. It could be a little brighter, and they could have done something to reduce the fan noise, but for the most part,...

Very small and light ; Plenty of battery life for even a long meeting or presentation ; Flexible inputs/sources (built-in memory, Micro SD, USB, HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth) ; Familiar Android user interface ; You can actually charge other devices from this...

I am an Android novice, however I would think that the mobile hot spot feature would be relatively easy to enable, yet after quite some time poking around, reading the manual, and even searching online, I was unable to figure out how to turn it on ; A...

Very cool portable projector!

 

I am sure in the near future projectors like this will become a standard in cell phones, tablets and laptops! A camera tripod would make things easier when using the projector feature, it does have a standard thread mount on the bottom that would fit...

Fast and responsive to the touch as a tablet should be, but with a built in small projector feature added to it that you will enjoy using for many different applications. It works as it should and to me personally looked great while projecting...

Only con is the fan noise when projector is used, but then again even large projectors have fans. If you plan on using this to project anything, I highly suggest you have some alternative for the sound such as a Bluetooth speaker. Or even external...

Compact, excellent colors, smooth Android experience, marginal sound

 

Getting it positioned can be finicky if you want a perfectly rectangular display. To achieve this, you have to position it at the same height as the bottom of the screen, aligned with the horizontal center, perpendicular to the screen. The flip-down...

This projector is incredibly small, about the same size as a stack of three CD jewel cases ; Setup is quick and painless. I removed it from the box, perused the quick start to learn the buttons, and was projecting an image of the Android home screen...

Whenever the projector lamp is on, there is a small fan that spins very fast to keep it cool. Unfortunately, small fans make a lot more noise than large fans to move the same volume of air. It's not so loud as to interfere with conversation, for...

Almost there

 

Paired with a Bluetooth keyboard and speakers it would be a great device for someone who does not know if where they're going is going to have a projector available. Basically any white surface would suffice for the screen. It's a cool device and for...

After playing around with this for quite a while it’s a fairly good mini projector with basically a built in android phone. The size and how it instantly turns on the projector portion and turns it off is rather nice compared to the multiple minute...

The fan is a bit on the loud side. The air coming out is lukewarm. I kind of hope it is a software bug that they’ll eventually update and fix. No need for the fan to be that loud. The fan is the reason for the 4 egg rating, the other cons are more of a...

Projector that fills a small niche in the market

 

In the simplest of terms, if you are primarily an Android tablet user and have a need to show videos or presentations on a larger screen than is available on the tablet without having to lug around a laptop and a separate projector, then the ZTE Spro...

In the world of projectors, this device should not be looked at as a projector. Instead, the ZTE Spro should be looked at as a very bulky 4" touchscreen Android tablet with a projector built in. Overall it does satisfy a very particular niche in the...

Low 854 x 480px resolution, compared to 720p (at 1280 x 720px) and 1080p at (1920 x 1080px). What this roughly translates to is that for any 4 pixel square that would be displayed at 1080p, only 1 pixel is used on the projector, therefore cutting the...
