Big Red announces new 4G Android smart projector with $50k contest

Verizon announced today the availability of the ZTE Spro 2 Android smart projector.

By having Android baked into the projector, users no longer have the need to cart along power cables or even a laptop for presentations on the go.

Of course, this projector isn’t all business. Because it runs Android and has the Play Store catalog at its disposal, users will also enjoy a full suite of entertaining apps and games.

To celebrate their new product ZTE is giving customers the chance to win a conference room makeover worth $50,000.

Beginning today, offices across America can enter for a chance to win ZTE’s Ugliest Conference Room Makeover contest, worth $50,000. With inspiration of the Spro 2 Smart Projector’s sleek and multi-functional design, an office interior design expert will transform one conference room into what will undoubtedly impress visitors and bring new energy to meetings and more fun to office parties.

Entrants must submit a photo or video of their ugly conference room, along with a description of how or why the makeover would benefit their office. Finalists and winners are selected by ZTE and popular vote! For full contest details and requirements, visit makeover.zteusa.com.
