Las Vegas, Jan 6: Samsung Electronics has launched its Freestyle projector at the ongoing CES 2022. The portable entertainment device can work as a smart speaker as well as an ambient lighting device designed for Gen Z and millennials.
The all-new portable screen and entertainment device offers first-of-its-kind technology and flexibility to deliver optimal viewing and entertainment for customers looking to bring video and audio content wherever they go.
The Freestyle is compact in design and weighs only 830 grams allowing it to change any space into a screen with ease. Unlike conventional, boxy projectors, its versatile cradle allows rotation of up to 180 degrees, enabling users to show high-quality video anywhere – tables, floors, walls or even ceilings.
The device comes with full auto keystone and auto levelling features that allow the device to automatically adjust its screen to any surface at any angle, providing a perfectly proportional image every time.
Additionally, Freestyle’s autofocus feature allows it to display a crystal-clear image on any surface, at any angle, up to 100 inches in size.
The Freestyle is compatible with external batteries that support USB-PD and 50W/20V output or above, so users can take it with them anywhere, whether they are on the move, on a camping trip and more.
The company claims Freestyle is the first portable screen that works when connected to a standard E26 light socket without the need for additional wiring, besides compatibility with the traditional wall plug option.
When it’s not used as a projector to stream content, the Freestyle also provides mood lighting effect thanks to its ambient mode and translucent lens cap. It is also a smart speaker, analyzing the music to pair visual effects that can be projected on the wall, floors and anywhere else.
The device offers Smart TV features available on Samsung Smart TVs, with built-in streaming services and mirroring and casting features compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices. It is the industry’s first portable projector that is certified by global major OTT partners, providing customers with the best content viewing experience.
