Unlike conventional, boxy projectors, ‘The Freestyle’ has what Samsung calls as a ‘cradle design’ to allow a perfect viewing angle from the wall to the ceiling. It supports rotation of up to 180 degrees and the device weighs just 800 grams. Samsung says it doesn’t require any separate screen, all users have to do is just tilt it and enjoy big screen moments anytime, anywhere. To further enhance the viewing experience, The Freestyle optimises projection based on your wall colour, so one does not always need a white colour wall.

It comes with built-in streaming apps Netflix, YouTube, Disney Hotstar and Prime Video. It is also equipped with Tap View, Airplay 2 and a micro HDMI port.
For Galaxy users, the projector has a button to allow it to sync instantly with the phone or tablet. One can then use a Galaxy device as a remote control for the projector. Users can also utilise mobile hotspots when no Wi-Fi networks are available thanks to this function.
It comes with Omni-directional 360-degree sound with a built-in speaker. It also sports the far-field voice control technology.
