ZTE unveiled its new Spro Plus portable projector at the 2016 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. The new projector features a larger tablet-sized touchscreen. It also has an external USB camera. Both a Wi-Fi-only version and a Wi-Fi and 4G LTE version.

Adam Zeng, CEO of ZTE Mobile Devices, says in a statement, "The Spro Plus is ZTE Mobile Devices' latest example of igniting digital life with imagination. We're proud of the Spro Plus, which showcases a pioneering technology as a first-rate product and delivers an even more intuitive user experience. This allows our users to have unlimited business and entertainment opportunities."

Spro Plus has an 8.4-inch Android AMOLED touchscreen with 2K resolution. It has a 12100mAH battery. Spro Plus uses laser instead of LED technology to project at 500lm. ZTE says Spro Plus will project an image up to 80 inches across from a distance of 2.4 meters away. The audio on the Spro Plus is a JBL audio system with outputs via two 4w speakers. Voice pickup comes through Harman sub-miniature microphones.
