The Freestyle by Samsung: BIG SCREEN FUN in a small projector!

Samsung Freestyle: www.samsung.co...
Disclaimer: The detailed specs of the sales product may differ from the pre-production sample.
The Freestyle by Samsung is one of the most compact, versatile, and fun projectors that I've ever used -- by bringing a big screen experience that can be instantly setup basically anywhere. It was just announced at CES 2022 and I've been able to use it for a while for watching shows and playing games. See how this little projector does big things for yourself!

Not cool at all,Xiaomi for 100£ offer way better solution.I will bet it's loud, no battery, bad luminance and judging by size speakers are not good.

50 LED l/ 230 ANSI lumens seems really low for normal lit room. In the promo videos they show this as lifestyle projector with lot of outdoor activity. for the advertised lumens the outdoor ambient light will kill the brightness of projector. Not sure if i am reading something wrong

[@AninoNiKugi]

Where did you get that it's only 230 ANSI lumens? I'm still confused with these marketing lumens terminologies but I thought LED lumens around the same as ANSI already. My guess is this will be around as bright as Philips PicoPix Max or maybe a bit dimmer which is pretty bright for its size but we really can't expect any portable projector of this size to be usable on a well lit room.

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

What about the noise level? Would be interesting if they managed to cool it without too much fan noise disturbing.

[@AninoNiKugi]

Considering how other similarly sized portable projectors with battery are silent enough. I'm sure you'll barely hear this unless you put your ear into it 😄

[@ericjson]

I saw another review and they said the fan isn't really loud at all.

[@402Racing]

Lost me when you brought the Xiaomi Smart Compact projector in, yes, that one might not have such advanced features, but its good enough and the latest version does compete with the Samsung's auto keystone features, while having twice the ANSI brightness, so good that non sponsored videos praise it as one of the best in his class or price range, the Freestyle simply isnt that, its a versatile but VERY overpriced projector.

[@pavelvodnar3206]

mainly samsung doesnt have its own battery

[@ericchocron]

I bought a Chinese projector 1080p on Amazon 2 years ago for $80 CAD (60 USD) in the same form factor (small lamplight with speakers). I'm really not sure how this is worth 10x more. Please clearly speak to those.

[@DMulabiTalejan]

Thanks. But for a product that is supposed to replace TV and trad projectors, this review is incomplete with some sort of side by side comparison with a TV or projector. But perhaps because it is sponsored, we will wait for independent reviews. Thanks again

[@randomnickify]

It's not meant to replace tv or stationary projectors in a same way bicycle is not meant to replace cars, it's a portable toy, it has its uses, if you can not see them you are not their target client, move along.

Were you able to test out the Smart Calibration function? That was the big thing about this that grabbed me, and I'm curious as to how effective it was

[@ctran1955]

Just bought a Xgimi halo last year lol! I knew projectors were going to get big sooner or later. It’ll never replace TVs but I’m glad Samsung is bringing some innovation and attention to the market. If it ever goes on sale, I’d consider picking this one up. Also the gaming point is interesting, I’m not a serious gamer but the lag on a projector tends to make it feel a little clunky. The mini HDMI is a little bit of a let down but makes sense Edit: I realized the Halo has a gaming mode but it makes the colors a bit ugly!

[@technologyisawesome6913]

Wow, this is a great product but one drawback is the 1080p resolution. It will be perfect if it can be 4k, we are in the year 2022. I think is about time we say goodbye to 1080p and make everything 4k.

[@AninoNiKugi]

At this size, 4k isn't still there. Even most full blown 4k projectors are not really native 4K because they use pixel shifting technique. Native 4k projectors still costs thousands 😄

[@technologyisawesome6913]

Wow really? Wait just adding more pixels can increase the price to more than 1k? 1080p display resolution has been around for sometime now and is getting annoying that tech companies still make 1080p display when mobile phone cameras and other new cameras are now shooting 8k videos. How long do they want to talk to finally say goodbye to 1080p displays.

[@amrbasri68]

I feel like 2k, 2.5k should be the standard and anything above like 3k 4k is nice. Since macbooks which are considered premium devices have been coming with 3k displays for a while and giving ppl tht great content consumption experience.

[@technologyisawesome6913]

@@amrbasri68 I think 4k should be the standard. Is better to move straight to 4k than to gradually move to 4k. 4k display resolution gives you a better viewing experience above other display resolution.

Gosh, this is sooooo bad! I mean, talk about selling out. This is dim, with terrible contrast ratio and it’s nowhere near as bright as it looks in the video. Also, 900 dollars to turn it into a HUE bulb. Please avoid getting this. This is only around 240 ANSI LUMENS! So stay away from this product.

Don't buy this piece of rubbish, it's just a gimmick. I was so tempted to buy this instead i saved myself £200 and bought a benq tk800m 4k and can be shown 3 times bigger screen and in worse lighting, just do your homework before buying this please

[@steveofficial6905]

This does look really awesome I think if Samsung release this product sometime in 2022 in the UK this will definitely be on my tech list of things to get this year for sure - I only have one issue though and that's the bulb life which is something Samsung haven't exactly said - wouldn't the bulb die out on this thing? Or is it only powered by the powered consumption plug that comes with the device meaning the bulb will never die out?

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

Not exactly sure what you mean, the bulb itself surely outlives the device. If you ask about runtime, this device has no built-in battery. It’ll be powered via USB-C; external batteries/powerbanks need to support PD of at least 50W. 30000mAh give 3 hours of projection iirc.

[@Katzelle3]

It might become a problem if you want to use that thing for more than 20 years or so

You show it in dark rooms but talk about it as though it is bright enough in a normal room. For its brightness $900 is about double what other projectors with these specs and size cost. If the design and little other features are worth it to you, cool. But you have to be in a dark room for it to be useful. This isn't a review, it's an ad.
