Samsung The Freestyle
Stylish and Portable

The Samsung Freestyle comes well packed and you get the projector, remote, Charger and a charging cable. The carry case and the battery are add on's can be purchased separately. Price wise, the Samsung Freestyle looks premium but is expensive as it does not feature in-built battery nor an HDMi cable. Initial setup was very easy with just 3 clicks and a QR code via the SmartThings app. The app also features a remote which is handy as my remote came with no charge. Sound quality could have been better if the wattage was higher as you do not get a theatre impact though the picture quality is good. The picture can be projected on a wall, ceiling as the projector can rotate 180 deg around the base mount which is very handy. Auto focus and auto keystone are great features but with auto focus, the projector sometime tries to focus as it does not get the right focus and this is annoying. Projecting on a the ceiling gives an halo light around the picture. The projector fits in perfectly in the handy carry case but this case does not provision space for the add on battery, charger and cable, remote and HDMi cable. I connected the Freestyle to my sound-bar and I did feel an amazing theatre effect in a dark room with almost a 100" screen and some popcorn relaxing on my couch. The Freestyle has limited memory of approx 4Gb of which 1.7 Gb is used and you have 2.2Gb left for new apps to be installed. There are smart apps already installed so you can watch Disney, Prime, Netflix, Rakuten TV by just logging into the app. Though Samsung claims the projector to be 550 ANSI lumen, the room has to be completely dark for you to experience the rich vibrant colours. There are plenty os settings which can be used to customise the picture quality. Overall I like the Samsung Freestyle but I feel its happy too pricey for the sound and quality. If only Samsung would have provided a HDMI cable and a built-in battery, I am sure Freestyle would have been a must have product in every other household due to its portability, size and quality.
