Ahead of CES, today Samsung has unveiled the Freestyle+ projector, which is portable. It comes with a peak brightness of 430 ISO lumens, which isn't much - basically fine for a dark room but won't let you see a lot if there's ambient lighting around.
That said, it is almost twice as bright as Samsung's previous generation, so there's that. The Freestyle+ has a 180-degree rotating design which supports projection at virtually any angle, including onto walls, ceilings, and even floors, without any additional accessories being required.
It boasts a built-in 360-degree speaker, "tuned to produce richer, fuller audio in a compact design". It can even work in sync with compatible Samsung soundbars via Q-Symphony, to create "a more layered and cohesive sound experience wherever it is used", according to the official press release.
The Freestyle+ comes with 3D Auto Keystone, automatically correcting distortion even when projecting onto uneven or non-flat surfaces like corners, curtains, or angled walls. Real-time Focus continuously adjusts focus as the projector moves or rotates, maintaining a clear, stable image without blurring or visual noise. Screen Fit automatically adjusts the image to match the screen area when used with a projector screen. Wall Calibration analyzes the color or pattern of the projection surface and minimizes visual distractions for clearer viewing.
The Freestyle+ will become available starting in the first half of 2026. It will be showcased at Samsung's exhibition space at CES. Pricing is still a mystery.
Gen2 was just a minor update on gen1 with upgraded processor for smoother ui experience and a battery pack bundled as gift. Youtube is full of portable projector reviews. There are plenty of portable alternatives with superior brightness and contrast...
What does that FS gen2 have that justify their near 20X the price of cheaper ones?
