Samsung Freestyle: An mini portable projector that can blow up your apps or Netflix to 100 inches about anywhere.
Take your entertainment on-the-go with The Freestyle
Samsung announced a unique projector device at CES 2022, called the Freestyle, as it shoehorns powerful projector features into a smart speaker form factor that weighs less than two pounds with the stand. The picture size output ranges from 30"-100", depending on the distance from the projecting surface, and the Freestyle can be powered by an external battery in case you want to take it on the road
Big Screen
See your content in 30 to 100 inches* of colorful high-definition. Now you can enjoy the drama of a theater experience at home or on-the-go. Movies, video games, sports** - you name it. That’s an epic spectacle on a portable scale.
Size-wise, the Samsung Freestyle looks to be pretty substantial. But it does come with a fair range of features to justify its size. To start, it is capable of creating images of between 30 to 100 inches. It also comes with an auto-setup system, which involves a built-in time-of-flight sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer. Together they help the projector calibrate itself to the surface it’s aimed at, from auto-keystone and auto-levelling to focusing.
Full HD
Image resolution is Full HD, which may be a drawback for some. For audio, the passive radiator gives it a 360-degree audio projection. Power comes in the form of USB-C. It also has a waterproof case accessory. Big or small, The Freestyle’s picture is brilliant in full 1080p HD. Whether you’re camping under the stars or studying at the kitchen table, you’ll love this projector’s gorgeous, high-contrast visuals.

The cradle that the Samsung Freestyle comes with lets it rotate up to 180 degrees. There’s also a base that adds an E26 lightbulb screw, so you can attach it to a lamp if you want to use it that way. Of course, in addition to using it as just a projector, you can use it sort of like a portable TV, to stream from Netflix, or cast your phone’s screen. There’s even a Micro HDMI port for if you want to plug in your laptop or console.
Smart TV content
Enjoy the perks of a Samsung Smart TV on your projector. Access your streaming apps, listen to your favorite playlist, use voice assistants. With The Freestyle, you can also learn, work, and watch from virtually anywhere.

Despite the dual passive radiator for its surround sound system that helps deliver deep and clear bass, the Freestyle weighs less than two pounds with the stand, so it is rather portable. In fact, it can be carried in the case accessory and powered by an external USB-PD battery with at least 50W/20V output for when you need to blow an image in the 30"-100" range while on the road. The native image contrast that the Samsung Freestyle is able to achieve is 300:1 and it can project in up to 1920x1080 definition.
The projector's Crystal Engine supports HDR10 imagery and the Freestyle can also be used as an ambient light lamp beaming up various patterns and colors thanks to a translucent lens cap. Samsung goes as far as calling the Freestyle a smart speaker, as it is "analyzing the music to pair visual effects that can be projected," and since the projector is running on the Tizen OS that its smartwatches and other clever gadgets used until recently, we can somewhat agree.
