The world does not stand still, and the market is regularly updated with some innovative technology or gadget. However, this means that earlier versions of the same devices may now be relegated to the dustbin of history. Perhaps this is exactly what will soon happen, oddly enough, with televisions. After all, the market is increasingly offering much more functional and compact alternatives. A striking example of this trend was the recent presentation of a new projector from Samsung, which will allow you to display the image anywhere, not only on the wall.
The concept of projector of the future, named Samsung Freestyle, was presented in the framework of the consumer electronics exhibition CES 2022 in Las Vegas. It looks like a small cylindrical-shaped gadget weighing about 830 grams. The minimalistic yet modern design will allow it to fit into any interior. And for those who like something unusual, the manufacturer offers a whole range of custom cases. In addition, if necessary, the projector can be screwed into the chandelier.
The main purpose of Samsung Freestyle is the ability to turn virtually any space into a screen with Full HD resolution (1080p). And it is not just a question of the walls or the ceiling: the creators say that the image is perfectly transferred to the table or even a sweater of the person sitting next to it. Such ability of the projector is possible due to the possibility to correct trapezoidal distortions and automatically level the image with the help of Samsung's advanced Smart TV technology based on Tizen. Thus, the gadget can automatically adjust the screen to any surface up to 2 meters in size.
In addition to its main function, Samsung Freestyle is equipped with several additional, but useful features. For example, the gadget can be used as a speaker or a lamp. Thus, the lens cover turns the projector into a color light source. In addition, it can be taken anywhere: the device in the set has an additional waterproof case, as well as a portable battery. And if that's not enough, it comes with an adapter that lets you plug it into an E26 outlet. And with USB-PD and a 50W / 20V output or higher, the gadget is also compatible. The ability to transmit sound in 360 degrees - according to the developers, this effect is achieved due to the synchronization with the backlight.
To be fair, it should be noted that projectors have been on the market for a long time and regularly. However, Freestyle favorably with its predecessors, above all, the fact that it can be safely used outside the apartment. Moreover, judging by the presentation, the creators of the gadget clearly position it as a youngster, which will be a great companion at a party or a date, including in the open air. But also family people will find it useful: it will be much easier and more interesting to put the kids to sleep, displaying their favorite cartoon on the wall or ceiling.
The projector will be very relevant for youngAccording to Simon Sung, executive vice president and head of sales and marketing for Samsung's visual display division, "The Freestyle is a one-of-a-kind projector focused on maximum versatility and flexibility to fit consumers' changing lifestyles."

The cost of the projector of the future is 899 dollars, or about 68 thousand roubles at the current exchange rate.
