ZTE combines personal hotspot and projector in one device

The China-based mobile company ZTE seems to think it’s a perfectly okay idea to merge a personal hotspot and projector in one gadget and call it aptly enough as the Projector Hotspot. The projector and portable Wi-Fi unit can project 120-inch images and videos on surfaces and it supports 1080p resolution input. The OS of the hotspot is based on Android 4.2 and is capable of supporting up to eight users to connect to the 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi network with 4G LTE capability. It is also built with a 4-inch colored touch-screen with an 800 x 480 pixel resolution to access the controls.

The device also comes equipped with HDMI port, headset jack for audio out, and mirroring capabilities through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi display. How long will it keep running on a single charge? The 5,000 mAh battery should power it for a while.
