I'm trying to think of what the twisty Aurzen Zip Cyber most looks like. Perhaps a new ultra-foldable phone. Or a little robot snake. Maybe the Zat gun from Stargate. What it doesn't look like is a projector. Well, except for the light which blasts from the front of it. With its cyberpunk-inspired decorations, the Aurzen looks quite futuristic.
With its 720p resolution and a claimed 100-lumen brightness, its performance matches its diminutive size. Then again, it's one of the only projectors I've seen that can literally fit in your pocket. With a 5,000-mAh battery, it can give you a TV-sized screen just about anywhere. Anywhere that's fairly dark.
The main issue with the Zip is its lack of an HDMI input. Some devices can connect to the Zip wirelessly, but are limited to non-copyrighted content (so no Netflix, etc). For that, you'll also need to get either the CastPlay Pro or CastPlay HDMI wireless dongles. For a pocket-sized PJ, though, the Aurzen Zip Cyber is still pretty neat.
