I've been doing this for more than several years now, so there's admittedly not much that truly impresses or wows me, but this little foldable projector from a company you may not have heard of is one of them. This folding portable projector is such an interesting device and one I feel a ton of people could use, and it's more than $100 off right now through Cyber Monday!
The Aurzen ZIP Tri-Fold Portable Projector normally costs $399 (with some models listed for $449), which admittedly sounds a bit steep. However, you're paying just $279 while Cyber Monday lasts, which feels much more wallet-friendly. But that's not all, because there are several bundles available for this unique device that are also on sale and worth checking out!
✅Recommended if: You want a small, portable projector for your smartphone for movie nights and other types of entertainment.
❌Skip this deal if: The 720p resolution is too low and the 1.5h battery life is too short (although you can keep it charged if necessary). Also if you want HDMI connection without needing an extra dongle.
Transform your phone into the ultimate entertainment device
The Aurzen ZIP Tri-Fold Portable Projector is one of the most unique devices I've seen this year. In fact, it impressed us enough that it was one of our Best of MWC 2025 winners!
This small, foldable device can project a bright 100-lumen image by mirroring your phone. This can turn any moment into a movie night if there's no TV in sight. Just connect and go! According to Aurzen, there's no lag, and the projector can adjust the image based on the angle to avoid distortion.
And it doesn't just work for horizontal videos; it can also display vertical videos without black bars by turning it on its side. And because of its tri-fold design, you can angle it in many different ways, from straight on to straight up. There's also a separate magnetic mount that you can stick on nearly any surface, letting you get creative with your projector placement, or use the magnetic stand to prop it up and double your battery life for movie nights (both accessories sold separately or in a bundle).
What's great is that it supports smartphone connections, but you can also connect it to your PS5 or Nintendo Switch, granted you have the HDMI transmitter (sold separately). This makes it a great backup in case you find yourself without a TV.
It's also extremely portable, weighing about as much as a large flagship smartphone but at half the size. So you can just stick it in your pocket if you don't have the carrying case.
Of course, there are downsides, such as a native 720p resolution (which supports 1080p upscaling), short battery life, and a lack of ports, but these are concessions that you can expect from such a portable yet powerful projector such as this.
If you're looking for a stocking stuffer, this would definitely make a great gift!
