[@thcyprus]

Samsung didn't just send units for reviews, they also SPONSORED all videos made on KZbin about this projector. What this means is that there is a ton of content on KZbin about this projector which are basically all ads by Samsung! Nobody should pre-order this projector until actual reviews come out.

[@dcast777]

It's crazy the amount of content on KZbin that are paid commercials that pretend to be reviews. This product is all over KZbin and the shilling is deep.

[@Zoranurai13]

Well its samsung. They remove all issue pages on their forums, sponsor a ton of content. Pay off store staff to push samsung. They are literally buying market share

[@ChrisMajestic]

Although this video is sponsored I don't do sponsored videos for products that I wouldn't recommend. Yes the price is considerably higher than similarly priced projectors but It has fantastic image quality, it's super small and portable, and really easy to set up. There are very few pico projectors that can do all of those things well.

[@nikolakemile]

@@ChrisMajestic and after all this as a Samsung TV user... We should say: Ambient mode! Amazing!

[@almanac4150]

After looking for a good Pico projector for a while while I also agree it's overpriced the quality is phenomenal and it has one vital feature that a lot of pico projectors don't have which is a built-in stand. Most of the pico projectors I found that were within my price range you had to provide your own stand and you can forget about keystone correction. Some of them did have Smart features but they were totaling toward $500 and STILL didn't have a stand. It seems like the perfect Pico projector for someone who has a big wallet.

[@sambembs]

I usually love your vids. This was literally a 10 minute ad, no real opinions, comparisons or critical comments. I get that big sponsorships are important for channels, but not being a shill is important too. What a shame

[@dcast777]

I'm glad more people are noticing this.

[@jss8617]

Love chris, but this video was a shill. Lots of chris fans will buy this overpriced turd as a result. Bummer.

[@mibz1117]

Was expecting it to be 500 or less not 1000 including taxes. Not worth it.

[@Zoranurai13]

For $2-300 yes. $900 msrp or $600 when the price drops, hell no. 240ansi lumen (550led lumen). Auto keystone is commonplace, speaker is meh, screen mirroring is on $100 projectors. Also that grey border😱

[@psnTrKvp]

Can you suggest other alternatives that has the same functionality and practicality, for 200-300$? Just curious. Most of them, at least here in Denmark, are just as expensive and they have either lackluster specs OR is big and bulky.

[@orenbornstein646]

So if I wanted 4K and auto keystone etc which one?

[@Zoranurai13]

@@orenbornstein646 this is a full hd projector, not 4k

[@Luke-qs2cg]

@@psnTrKvp why not start with something the same price. BenQ ef11 or ef12. Ef12 has all the same features, while hitting 1000 ansi lumens. For the same features at a lower price, start at the Anker nebula fhd models which can be found for 200$ in some stores, or the myriad of other portable projectors sold by the likes of xgimi, Anker, wemax, jmgo, etc. This has been an entire product category for years, and a generally ragged on one at that. The only thing new here is that it's Samsung. And has the lightbulb socket thing.

[@boxingtherapy87]

Yeah I was expecting 500 😅

[@IrishGaucho]

I normally really enjoy your review but this was very noticeable a paid ad, casually skipping any downside of the projector.

[@docmanh20]

Samsung did a good job of (advertising) packaging this together making it do all sorts of things. I love the look of it and I love the ease of use especially for the built-in apps (not having to plug in some extra stick). However, I think it falls short in brightness and price to it's competition. The $900 price tag for 230 ANSI Lumens is pretty bad compared to other pico projectors. I think Brightness is one of the bigger factors in making things pop and look great. It looks great on his garage door at night, but any ambient light is going to dim this projector considerably. The freestyle could really wow people if it was just a bit brighter. Can we get this thing into the 500+ ANSI Lumen range Samsung? Stay away from the Samsung Freestyle until we see real in-depth reviews, more realistic uses, etc.

[@AdmiralBison]

I agree, it’s either the price or the low brightness that may hold it back. If they are going to keep the price, then definitely increase the brightness…and maybe give it strong short throw abilities for those of us looking for a portable UST projector too. 😃 When you think about it, this would also go very well with Samsung Dex and Smart Screen share if you have a Samsung phone.

[@reybis3016]

$899 is not bad. It is very bad.

[@francoisdurocher4951]

Appreciate your review....BUT DID YOU CHECK SAMSUNG COMPETIOPTION BEFORE REPRESENTING WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN INFERIOR PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE....there seem to be competitors offering better resolution, brighter, using full android tv, similar focus and keystone feature....at a lesser price

[@haitemwali1997]

Bro youre poooor... with this toooo much advs

[@KannanRadhakrishnaPillai]

This is the problem with sponsored videos. While you are not telling anything that’s not accurate, You are not saying the obvious fact that many other models offer better specs with way better price. Of course you know it but can’t speak about it because you are not allowed to speak against the product that’s sponsored here . Many will buy this product based on their trust on you and this video. Not cool.

[@drestreaming8153]

You conveniently skipped the 230 ANSI lumens on the spec sheet.....230ansi lumens for that price is aweful! I have a XGIMI Mogo pro 300ansi lumens for $500, it's got full android TV not tizen and it's still 1080p

[@paulgonzales5741]

You can get this same product with better features for a much cheaper price. $899 makes zero sense for what it can do

[@empathicparadox6041]

We are being hustled.

[@TheOffroader7458]

1080p, no built in battery , only 230ANSI . And as for the price. Do not buy this before looking around first, much better cheaper projectors with built in battery

[@Tyrann86]

Too pricey. Should be maybe $499. If there was a 4k version with higher lumens then maybe i'd pay $899

[@Luke-qs2cg]

Cool and all, seems easy to use, but wtf is that brightness 😂😂😂😂😱😱😱😱😂😂😂

[@zas786]

Great review, as always. I think its competition is something like an LG PF50KA. That's a brighter projector, with LG app store, more connections and in-built battery. Retails for $550. The Freestyle might be more fun, but i don't understand the $900 price tag, especially for 230 ANSI lumens.

[@AdmiralBison]

Don’t know, have to wait and see detailed reviews, the obvious difference between this and other pico projectors seems to be combination of swivel, strong auto keystone/focusing and an OS. Making it seem very flexible to use anywhere which is probably its greatest appeal. Hence maybe why it’s called “freestyle”

[@oggyjack8252]

For $900, it should at least come with native 2k resolution with higher lumens.

I can't wait till the real reviews come out that are not sponsored by Samsung. The concept is incredible but the price is ridiculous. I hate auto correct because it leaves a shadow where the picture would have been, that's very annoying to me. I hope Samsung has a good return policy, just in case.

Definitely interesting but noticed you glossed over the brightness of this being 550 lumens but 230 ANSI lumens. I have heard since it is LED those numbers can be deceiving. I have experience with the LG PF50KA as I used to own one. If familiar, how would you compare brightness and image quality? Any chance in ambient light?

It’s not going to perform well in ambient light. It’s meant for very low light or completely dark rooms.

As a projector enthusiast, I Own the Nebula Capsule 2 and the LG PF50KA as my portable projectors and they are a great cheaper alternatives to the Samsung freestyle any day. Also tried the BenQ gv30 and Mars 2 pro, they are also great, all the projectors mentioned all have battery life. There is literally a hand full of projectors better than the freestyle also cheaper too. I don't think people realize that you will be paying an extra $100-300 on top of the msrp if you want the accessories such as, the carrying case and external battery adaptor. with all the extra cost you're better off just get a normal 4k projector..

$900.00 for a 1080p that has a maximum size of 100 inches. That's highway robbery. Also some of the supposed features, you can do with any projector. Last time I went to a hotel I took my 1080p projector ($145.00 on Amazon) and watched it on the ceiling. Miracasting is common place in most 1080p budget projectors and many come with their own OS. And most Pico projectors are less than $300.00 and fit in your pocket.

[@RDSpike]

Way too expensive for most people for a more casual portable projector. At that price, might as well spend more and go for a higher end projector with better specs instead. Maybe in a few years when this comes down to 400-500 would it be worth it.

[@RalphBarbagallo]

This is actually much cooler than I thought it would be. Do more expensive 4K projectors do that kind of auto image correction stuff? I don't think I've seen that berfore.

[@AlexInDepth]

Autofocus is not super common, but it takes about 10 seconds to spin the focus wheel into place (even a child could do it… just spin until it’s clear.) The auto-keystone is common. More expensive projectors will have lenses with moving parts, so instead of having to use keystone(which degrades image quality as Chris mentioned), you can just hit a button on the remote and the entire image will shift left/right or up/down without losing any resolution. This projector would be nice at around $400, but compared to projectors with similar specs, there’s much here to justify $900.

It's true. Sponsored review of this product by popular tech channels are like extensions of Samsung's advertisement videos 😄 For those who are interested buying, they should definitely look for unsponsored reviews especially from those channels that knows about portable projectors. I think this projector is only for those who don't know possibly better alternatives exist, who don't wanna trust less known brands and no prior portable projector experience, who really like the design of this, and who just don't care about alternatives and lazy to check 😄 It's understandable that many people doesn't know most things in this product already exist in others given that it's a niche product that is marketed by a very big brand like Samsung. But definitely, those who needs to budget their money to get this should double check opinions about this product.
