Samsung Freestyle Portable Projector Review: Cool, Sleek, Way Too Expensive

Samsung sure knows how to design and market a product. The Freestyle portable projector, announced at CES 2022, made quite the splash. It's small! It makes a huge image! Your friends will love it! Beyond the design, however, the Freestyle is hardly...

Clever design Highly accurate colors Solid built-in streaming

Too expensive Relatively dim No built-in battery

The Samsung Freestyle is an OK product, well marketed but overpriced. In a vacuum it's an undeniably cool device. But we're not in a vacuum (OK, we are in a galactic sense, but locally and figuratively, nope). Similar products that offer more features...

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen Projector Review

The Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen is a 1080p portable LED projector. It's small and light, and it tilts on its base, letting the user adjust its viewing angle easily. You can even combine two Freestyle 2nd Gen projectors to create a larger viewing...

Small and light, and tilts on its stand, making it easy to carry and install. Impressive suite of smart features and calibration options.

Subpar contrast leads to raised blacks in dark scenes. Dim all the time due to its very low peak brightness

The Samsung Freestyle is sub-par for watching movies. It has a wide color gamut, but its contrast is subpar, so its blacks look gray in a pitch-black room. Furthermore, the projector's brightness is very low, so it always looks dim, and it's just not...

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen review: the best portable projector gets even better

Samsung's first The Freestyle projector created quite the buzz with its compact, cylindrical form and superior streaming capabilities compared to other portable projectors. Notably, it featured the same Tizen smart TV interface found in the company's...

Highly compact design +Great smart TV interface +Built-in Samsung Gaming Hub

Limited brightness -Micro-HDMI for external connections -Pricey

Samsung’s 2nd Gen portable is nicely compact and versatile, and it has superior streaming and gaming capabilities compared to other portable projectors. Brightness is a disappointment given the projector’s relatively high price, but if you’re seeking a...

Hands on: Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen review

Samsung's versatile portable projector gets a sequel

Cute, versatile design ; Auto keystone is back ; Cheaper than original

Will black levels be better?

We'll need to get the projector into our test rooms to deliver our definitive verdict but if it's as enjoyable and appealing as the original, then Samsung could be onto a winner

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen projector review

Samsung's upgraded portable LED beamer adds new clever features. Steve Withers gets blending… Samsung made a triumphant return to the projector market a couple of years ago, thanks to the one-two punch of The Premiere and The Freestyle.

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen review: two become one

Pairing two units for ultrawide goodness is an impressive party trick. But is it enough to make The Freestyle 2nd Gen worth the cost?

Excellent auto adjustments for a guaranteed clear image ; Compact build ; Impressive sound for its size ; Gaming Hub unlocks even more entertainment ; Ultrawide mode with two units for a more cinematic experience

Buying two models for all the features is very expensive ; Ultrawide video mirroring is limited to Samsung phones

Stuff says: Needing two units to max out its full potential, The Freestyle 2nd Gen is a unique, (albeit expensive) prospect. Then again, niche trailblazing tech always is. If portable big-screen entertainment and gaming are a priority, you won’t be...
