Aurzen’s new Zip Pro tri‑fold pocket projector has debuted at IFA 2026 with true 1080p output, wireless mirroring, and a compact Z‑shaped folding design. The portable projector delivers up to 80‑inch images, automatic keystone correction, dual Bluetooth headphone support, and a 2.5‑hour runtime.

Aurzen has unveiled the Zip Pro tri-fold pocket projector at IFA 2026 in Berlin. The Zip Pro improves upon the innovative Zip projector with an upgrade to true 1080p output from video sources.

The folding projector utilizes a DLP chip fitted within a 10.7 mm (0.42 in.) tall optical engine, allowing the Z-shaped projector to fold compactly for everyday carry. When folded, the Zip Pro takes up only 487 cc (29.7 cu. in.), while measuring 115 x 97 x 44 mm (4.5 x 3.8 x 1.7 in.) and weighing 586 g (1.29 lbs.). 

The projector comes with wireless and wired connectivity, including Type-C DP Alt Mode for wired USB-C connections, AirLink P2P wireless mirroring without Wi-Fi, and Miracast, Google Cast, and AirPlay mirroring with Wi-Fi. This enables the Zip Pro to work with computers, phones, and game consoles such as the Nintendo Switch.

The Aurzen Zip Pro tri-fold projector can be connected to the Nintendo Switch.

Sound is output through dual 2-watt speakers or to up to two connected Bluetooth headphones. The touch display can be used to adjust settings and monitor battery status. The projector has a rated fan noise level of 24 dB to 35 dB during use.

The Zip Pro is powered by a 38 Wh, 10,000 mAh battery, providing up to 2.5 hours of runtime in low-brightness, 100 lumen ECO mode. The unit supports 65 W fast charging when depleted.

The Aurzen Zip Pro tri-fold projector has an MSRP of $629.99 and will be available for order from Aurzen and the Aurzen store on Amazon in October 2026.
