Anthropic — What company has the best second artificial intelligence model at the end of June?
A striking development has emerged in artificial intelligence. Not all trifolds are created equal — just ask our own Allison Johnson, who recently spent time with Samsung’s ill-fated Galaxy phone. Aurzen’s Zip projector is the kind of trifold gadget we can fully get behind, though, and it’s currently on sale at Amazon for $259. You can also pick it up in several colors directly from Aurzen for the same price, or in the gold shade for a new low of $249.
Aurzen Zip Tri-Fold Portable Mini Projector Where to Buy: $399. 99 at Aurzen (gold color only) While not nearly as powerful as Anker’s Nebula P1 and other portable projectors we’ve recently tested, the Zip is surprisingly capable despite its small stature and battery-powered operation. The snake-like 720p projector offers up to 100 lumens of brightness — meaning it will work best in dark environments, or in brighter rooms when viewing a smaller image — while its built-in battery should last about 80 minutes based on our real-world testing.
Technical Details
That’s not exactly marathon battery life, but it’s easy enough to top off the Zip using a power bank or wall adapter. In terms of support, the Zip can quickly connect to iPhones via AirPlay and to Android devices over Miracast, Smart View, and similar standards, allowing you to wirelessly mirror everything you can see on your phone. You can use it to watch any movies you’ve downloaded on your device, peruse your social feeds, or get in a quick session with your favorite game.
It works in both landscape and portrait orientations, too, and supports Bluetooth, letting you listen privately with headphones or pair it to your favorite speaker. The biggest downside to the Zip, at least for some folks, is that you won’t be able to use it to watch content from services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max due to copyright restrictions. Aurzen does make a USB-C dongle that allows you to stream DRM-protected content, if you truly can’t get by without watching the latest episode of Euphoria .
You’ll have to pay a whopping $109 for the privilege, or find another way . Read our full Aurzen Zip Projector review .

Industry Implications
99 ($50 off), matching its best price to date. The Venu 4 is essentially a refreshed version of the Venu 3, only with expanded sleep tracking, the ability to log lifestyle habits (like caffeine intake), and extra accessibility features. Typically, the smartwatch is $100 more expensive than the last-gen model, meaning this limited-time promo takes the sting out a bit.
Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is still available at Woot for $16. 09 with code FIRE30 , but if you want a more capable streaming device, Google’s speedy TV Streamer (4K) is available at Amazon and Best Buy for $76. That’s nearly the best price we’ve seen for the terrific set-top box, which offers built-in Google Assistant, serves as a Matter-ready smart home hub, and pulls together recs from across your favorite streaming services.
Microsoft’s latest Xbox Wireless Headset is down to $89. 99 ($40 off) at Amazon and Target , which is about $10 shy of its lowest price to date. The first-party gaming headset features Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth 5.
This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
