One of Samsung’s most surprising and arguably exciting products unveiled at CES in Las Vegas is The Freestyle. What is it? Well, in case you missed the news, it’s a new portable projector-smart speaker hybrid that could one day replace your TV. And yes, Samsung has somehow kept it a secret until its official unveiling at CES 2022.
We managed to get an exclusive first look at The Freestyle from Samsung at the event in Las Vegas, and we’re glad to share our experience in a new video (seen below).
We must admit that, even though most of us weren’t in the market for a projector, The Freestyle looks like a fun product that appeals to us on some level. Perhaps it’s the portable nature. Or the fact that it seamlessly combines the functionality of a smart TV with a smart speaker in a compact, lightweight package, complete with music visualizers and an ambient light mode. It has many tricks up its sleeve.
Have a colored wall? Worry not. Automatic color calibration takes care of that
The Freestyle adjusts and calibrates the image based on the color of the wall on which it’s projected. There’s more. It also takes advantage of keystone correction and auto-leveling. These technologies, combined, deliver a seamless user experience with no complicated setup process standing between you and your entertainment.
The device works with standard E26 light sockets — should you want to hang the projector from your ceiling — and USB-C power banks.
