A projector tailor made for the TikTok generation.

. What matters more than its spec sheet, according to Samsung, is that this highly portable and swiveling visual lightshow with integrated speaker and voice control is coming to support your carefree “lifestyle” and nomadic “experiences.”How can I be certain of this? Because when I, a curmudgeonly old, showed the Freestyle to my 13-year-old daughter under strict embargo, her first reaction was, and I quote: “I want that.

The 1.83 pound LED projector is capable of producing an auto-focused, auto-leveled, and auto-keystoned image at sizes from 30 to 100 inches. Rated for 550 lumens, it’s not very bright which is typical for pico-style projectors, so you’ll need a very dark room for the best image quality. The translucent lens cap can be used to create “mood lighting” that can be synced with whatever audio is playing. It also features a 360-degree five watt speaker, and a far-field mic array that looks like it can be toggled on and off via a switch. If you look closely at the images you’ll also see one HDMI and one USB-C jack, and what looks like touch controls for power, volume, and something else encircling the lens.

If you care about banalities such as lumens, supported streaming protocols, and other such minutia then this projector clearly isn’t meant for you. But for its $900 price, there’s definitelySamsung says preorders for the projector will open in the US as of January 4th, with the Freestyle making its way to other markets “in the following months.
