You’ve probably played games on TVs and computers all your life, but not many can say they’ve done so on a projector, much less a portable one (the possibilities are endless). The Samsung Freestyle 2 is just that, a portable smart projector geared for gamers—but it is also a smart speaker. Right now, you can get it for $597.99 (originally $797.99), the lowest price it has been according to price-checking tools.
The Freestyle 2nd is more than just a regular projector. It’s smart, meaning you can cast your phone, tablet, or laptop and cast your screen out through the projector through wifi or NFC by just tapping it. The Samsung Gaming Hub lets you connect a controller to it and play cloud-streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, Luna, and others. It’s also a 5W 360-degree smart speaker, so you can command it to play Spotify through Amazon Alexa or Bixby. It’s also portable and comes with a battery so you can take it anywhere. It has an ambient light or ambient light decorator with its Ambient Mode, which can project decorations, designs, photos, or other displays.
The projector can move to almost 360 degrees, so you can cast it on your ceiling or on your kitchen table so you can watch a cooking recipe while your hands are busy. It shoots 1920 x 1080 resolution and the screen can be anywhere from 30 inches to 100. Since it’s portable, the image will change depending on the angle and distance from the screen, but the projector will auto-focus and calibrate the image for you. When it comes to ports, it has a USB-C and mini HDMI (for things like laptops that can’t cast).
