BARCELONA—ZTE's smart projector lineup is finally dropping the compromises. The new Spro Plus, introduced here at MWC, is a super-bright, 500-lumen laser projector controlled by an 8.4-inch Android 6.0 tablet.

It's less portable than ZTE's previous smart projectors, the Spro and the Spro 2, but it may be a lot more compelling for businesses. We spent some time with it just it was announced today.

It's taken a few generations for the Spro to figure out exactly what it is. It started out as a projector hotspot—equal parts Wi-Fi hotspot, pico projector, and Android device. It's since evolved into a full-on connected projector, as you can see from the new tablet-sized form factor.

Speaking of size, the Spro Plus is much larger and heavier than its predecessors. It certainly won't fit into your pocket; with an 8.4-inch screen and weighing in at 2.2 pounds, it'll fit into a bag, though. The larger size delivers a lot more performance. The projector now has a 12,100mAh battery for up to six hours of playback time.

The 8.4-inch display is a 2,560-by-1,600-pixel AMOLED panel. We couldn't make any adjustments to brightness settings on the pre-production model we handled, but the screen was bright enough to blow out most of the pictures we tried to take. It's plenty sharp, but what matters even more than display quality here is projection quality.

We fired up an HD YouTube video, and were blown away by how good it looked. This is a big step up from little handheld pico projectors, as you'd expect from the larger size. The video automatically focused and keystoned on a nearby wall, becoming sharper within a few seconds. The Spro is capable of projecting images up to 300 inches, which makes it equally suitable for watching movies and giving presentations. According to ZTE, you can even use it outdoors; we had no trouble seeing the image it projected at only half brightness in a well-lit room, so we have reason to believe this is true.

The dual JBL stereo speakers on the sides of the device are also impressive. Easily loud enough to drown out your voice, it's the sort of sound you expect to come from a television, not a tablet.

Despite its media consumption prowess, ZTE seems to be pitching the Spro Plus more toward business users than home entertainment enthusiasts. The projector sports HD Voice when using Voice over LTE (VoLTE) for video conferencing (when using the LTE model, of course). And with two microphones, it can pick up sound from over 16 feet away. The Spro also has a really neat interactive whiteboard features that lets you use an IR pen to write things on the digital whiteboard that it broadcasts.

The Spro Plus will come to the U.S. in June. While ZTE couldn't give an exact price or say which carriers would sell it, it said that it will be more expensive than the Spro 2 (which will stay on the market) and that it will be compatible with all the major carriers' LTE networks.
