Too Dark for my application - not a bad projector
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked as described but with my ambient lighting I had to upgrade a bit. It would be good for a dark location.

Just ok
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not what I expected. We had a cheaper one boughtboff amazon worked geeat during the day as long as tou were ok with a lop sides screen. This one does not do as well if there is light and I am constantly having to adjust the screen. I like the fact that it is compact and has its on little stand and the self focus is great but still bot worth the price.

Not clear image, need complete darkness.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality overall but the image is not as clear as what I expected from FHD HDR, you can see the pixels. If you only plan to use it in complete darkness it will work fine. Phone mirroring keeps dropping (iPhone). Easy to unbox and start using once you login to all your accounts (Netflix, etc.). Not too portable if you don't get the battery otherwise you need to use it wired. I returned mine because I needed it to work without been connected to the power outlet and because of the low resolution and the poor image during the day.

Horrible user experience - doesn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought this product (note, most reviews are "incentivized", so take them with a grain of salt. This review is real - i have been setting up this product for the last 30mins. Why it's taking so long? Because despite it being connected to a very fast wi-fi connection, the product just hangs and won't load pages, apps or anything. It literally is the slowest product i've ever seen in my life - anything you click takes minutes to load. MINUTES. I'm right now waiting to load Prime video and it has been "loading" for 7mins. Absolutely useless. This product is going back tomorrow.

Stopped working within a year of using.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had it since December of 2024, the display just went out completely and it no longer works. Tried resetting updating, and unplugging it but nothing. There were problems before this but not as bad. The price for this projector was not worth it sadly

Cool to show-off, not for camping
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Freestyle by Samsung is just about everything I ever wanted in a portable projector. It's small enough to fit in a backpack, light enough to not make it a burden to carry. It features an automatically adjusting keystone, which means you don't have to have the projector pointed straight at your screen. You can even pick it up while a video is playing and set it down at a completely different angle, and it'll auto adjust in a flash. I love the future! If you want, you can project straight up at the ceiling! During the day, in my sunlit bedroom with north facing windows, as long as it was a shorter casting length, like a couple of feet, the cast image was plenty bright enough to see so long as the screen was facing away from the window, but due to the distance the size could only be so big. A longer cast, across the entire room to get the max-sized picture, ended up too washed out by the ambient light. Of course, at night, everything was brilliant with lower light conditions. Now that it's getting dark before I leave work, this is fine. Not sure how it'll be during the summer. As long as you have an internet connection, Samsung made sure to add all the streaming apps, pretty much making it a smart tv. It even provides a curated constant stream of multiple programming channels, giving you the illusion of having cable tv. I'm so accustomed to streaming all of my content on demand, that the faux channel surfing experience that the Freestyle offers has this uncanny valley edge to it. I also don't know if this is the default behavior, or if I hit something during setup, but whenever the projector is not displaying any content for long enough, it'll auto switch to the simulated tv content, playing whatever channel was last on. This can get annoying when you are just trying to rearrange your apps and all of a sudden Duck Dynasty shows up in the background. I couldn't care less about the show, and yet on multiple occasions on several different days, if I wasn't fast enough in choosing my input, here came a bunch of old bearded guys (I'm not sure which one was "Duck") all talking about whatever inane bs, destroying my concentration or will to do anything other than figuring out how to get this guy off my wall. That part of the projector is really, really annoying, and I hope that somebody tells me how to figure it out, otherwise I'm just gonna disable the wifi access because it's that annoying. I also found the Gaming Hub off the main menu, and to my surprise the device supports Xbox's Gamepass cloud streaming, Amazon's Luna, and nVidia's GeForce Now. All I had to do was connect a bluetooth controller (like the one that came with my Xbox Series S), sign in, and I could get right to gaming, no need to hook up a console. Of course, I could always connect my switch (either through the dock and an adapter, or a usb-c mini dock and a mini hdmi cable) or handheld gaming pc to be able to play my portable gaming systems on the big, big screen. Starfield, huge on my wall, was pretty cool. Mario Kart 8 where everyone had a screen the size of a big screen was amazing. One of my favorite features was the various ambient apps. There's a few that look like you have a window with an amazing view that remind me of the scene in Back to the Future 2 in future Marty's house. There's also party décor, like a happy birthday banner or a neon city scene. The funky kaleidoscope routines are also a great way to spend a mushroom trip. The sound is on par with a smaller bluetooth speaker. You won't be using it as your main audio source if you intend to screen a movie for a party in the backyard. You could always hook up a bluetooth speaker system to it to solve that (it also can cast to two different bluetooth headsets simultaneously). But sitting in a room at night and projecting on a space next to you, the sound is sufficient. I was both surprised and puzzled by the remote. It doesn't have batteries, and is charged via the solar panel on the back, which is pretty cool. However, the channel/volume toggles were these thin plastic tabs sticking way out of the remote. I can just imagine them breaking off on the first drop, they look so delicate and fragile. And if you were to bring the projector on a trip, you'd have to take extra care to pack the remote so that the toggles weren't smashed. They are nice and tactile, but what's wrong with the regular buttons all over the remote? There is an optional battery pack attachment, in case you want to have a purely mobile experience. There's also an official case, though it doesn't look like it would fit the charger, remote or battery pack. If both came standard (and the case was fixed to hold those three things, plus a micro-HDMI adapter), this would truly be the ultimate projector. Unfortunately, without the battery pack, you are tethered to the wall via a power cable. And unless you bring an adapter and a cable, you need a wifi connection to use the apps, or to cast to it (if you can). Taking this on a camping trip looks to be too much trouble than it's worth, which is a bummer. The big huge problem that I have with the Freestyle is the lack of support for casting from a Pixel phone. I have a Pixel 8 Pro, and there is no support to cast from any app, including Samsung's own Smartthings app. I don't understand why the device doesn't support it, since it's an Android phone. I can cast to the Freestyle from my iPad mini since the projector has AirPlay support, so what's the deal? The best I could do with the phone was use it as a remote control for the projector. I was also unable to cast from my desktop PC. Casting from my laptop seemed to work ok. My disappointment in finding out that the inability to cast from a Pixel phone is essentially an incompatible and unresolvable hardware conflict is immeasurable. Ultimately, I think this is a really cool device to have, provided you are prepared to deal with the compromises. No support for casting from Pixel phones, no internal battery, micro-HDMI input necessitating the use of an adapter (not included), and auto-playing annoying shows (I even found the setting for automatically starting up the last used app and I switched it off, didn't help) all are really frustrating shortcomings that I feel prevent me from wanting to pop this in my bag to take everywhere. It's more like this little gadget that you whip out to flex on other gadget nerds. If I had a Samsung phone and was more invested in their walled garden of connectivity, I'd probably have a better experience and get to use whatever features are exclusive to their hardware like the desktop environment. I thought it would be like this portable monitor that I could use anywhere, but it's more like a portable auto-playing tv that I can use anywhere in my house close to a plug that's within range of my router, so long as it's dark enough. Since the full functionality of the device is hamstrung by my choice of phone manufacturer, I feel like I have to do too much work to get this to play my own content instead of the 24 hour Duck Dynasty channel.
