ZTE SPRO 2

Ok, so I don’t camp, but bear with me. Imagine being out in the middle of the woods. You have a roaring campfire going. The kids are asleep in their tents. You and your significant other decide you would like some entertainment. You’re alone in the middle of the woods, what should you do? Hmmm, how about stringing up a sheet between two trees as a makeshift screen and watching a movie. Or maybe you don’t camp (like me) and you’re just tired of sitting inside. It’s a nice night out, you want to go watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens outside against your house. You could start setting up a table and getting extension cords and bringing out a DVD player (or computer) and hooking it all up to your heavy old projector and worry about everything getting tangled. Or you can bring out your ZTE SPRO 2 Wireless Smart Projector, turn it on, and start watching.

ZTE SPRO 2

I have to admit. I was almost giddy when I got this thing out of the box. I’m used to dealing with digital projectors at work. But the ZTE SPRO 2 Projector is something else entirely. I was literally up and running, watching Star Wars in about 5 minutes. You know why? It has the Android operating system. Just like my phone and tablet. Here’s how it went. I booted the projector. Connected to my Wi-Fi. Logged into my gmail account. Opened up the Google Play Store. Downloaded one app. Selected the movie I wanted to watch. Hit play. Did I mention no cord? This projector has a battery that can last you a whole movie. Coming from the land of projectors that require a cord, that is pretty impressive to me. Did I need to focus? No. It autofocuses. It was literally me on a blanket in the grass, and the projector on a small table. Oh and my family was there somewhere too. I think. I don’t know. I was watching the movie. Not going to be near Wi-Fi? Download the movies you want for offline viewing on the projector’s 16 GB of internal storage. Or expand that with a micro sd card. The possibilities are practically endless. I’ll be honest. Ever since I set this projector up, I’m not sure I ever want to go back to watching TV on a…TV. You need to get down to your local Best Buy now and check it out or via the web here.

I seriously need one of these. It looks like it would make for a great family night. Get the chairs, pull up in the back yard and hang out with friends and family! =D

The ZTE SPRO 2 Projector sounds amazing! We used to have a projector that we used for movies and gaming (playing Guitar Hero on a projector is so fun) but I don't know what happened to it! I'll definitely have to check this out next time I'm at Best Buy.

That sounds awesome. It would be perfect for us because we do a lot of entertaining over the summer at our house.

I love simple things to set up! Watching movies out side with a campfire sounds awesome! :) I love how small and compact this is.

I have been looking at projectors recently. We are selling our house and I think we will be putting one in the new house. My husband wants a new TV and this is a way better (more cost effective) option.

This ZTE SPRO 2 Wireless Smart Projector would be perfect for any movie night or backyard party. The 16GB internal storage and being able to use the micro sd card to expand the storage with this projector is indeed awesome features. Thanks for sharing this awesome projector.

Oh my goodness, I totally want one of these! There are so many possibilities -- I do safety training with groups in various locations. I would love to have the option of using video without having to depend on the venue's equipment. This would be perfect!

Wow this projector sounds amazing. This would be great for at my sons home where he has lots of space outside to use this when family and friends are over. I am going to tell him about this one. Thanks for the information on it

This sounds like a great projector!! We are always having friends over for BBQs this would be a great way to end our get togethers.

I would think that if you pinned up a sheet in the back yard, the whole family could have a weekly movie night. Just grab the popcorn and Zootopia

This projector sounds amazing!! I love how high tech it is with the touch screen. I remember watching old home movies as a kid on one of those old timey projectors with film reels/slides! :) It would be so cool to watch a movie this way!
