Samsung's Freestyle+ AI Smart Projector transforms any wall into your next cinema screen.
This $1,200 Samsung projector utilizes AI to automatically enhance your picture.
Movie nights no longer require a plain white wall or a complex projector setup. Samsung has introduced the Freestyle+ AI Smart Projector for $1,200 in the US, and its standout feature is its ability to project onto nearly any surface.
Whether you're displaying onto patterned wallpaper, a colored wall, or even a space filled with shelves and picture frames, the projector employs AI to automatically modify the image, allowing you to start watching with minimal hassle. This portable projector can deliver a Full HD picture of up to 100 inches, making it an excellent choice for everything from outdoor movie nights to cozy binge-watching sessions.
What sets the Freestyle+ apart from standard projectors?
At its core, the Freestyle+ includes five AI-enabled tools: 3D Auto Keystone, Wall Calibration, Screen Fit, Real-time Focus, and Obstacle Avoidance, which work together to keep the image sharp and accurately aligned.
The projector can straighten skewed images, adjust for colored or patterned walls, auto-focus as it is moved, and even reposition the image to avoid objects obstructing the projection.
Samsung has also increased brightness to 430 ISO lumens, nearly doubling the output of the previous model, while PurColor and HDR10+ support promise richer colors and improved contrast.
What additional features does the Samsung Freestyle+ provide?
The Freestyle+ also serves as a complete entertainment hub. It comes with Samsung TV Plus, offering over 750 free channels, integrated streaming applications, and Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud gaming without needing a console.
Vision AI Companion mixes Bixby and Gemini to provide answers to inquiries and suggest content, while Tap View, Smart View, and Apple AirPlay 2 make mirroring your phone effortless. The integrated 360-degree speaker with dual passive woofers supports Q-Symphony for synchronized audio with compatible Samsung speakers. You can use it outdoors with Samsung’s battery base or a compatible USB-C battery.
