This projector has been a great investment for our home, we use it as a television in our guest room primarily however it’s been extremely useful during bath times for our 3 year old and when we are hosting parties and want to have music videos or a movie on for our guests. It’s so versatile and the image quality is magnificent, even without any kind of projector screen. We use it mostly on an empty light grey wall in the guest room/nap room but really it can be projected onto the ceiling or any wall. If the wall is too small, you even have the option to scale it to a size that fits better. I also love that it auto adjusts depending on the location you project it. What a great investment

With this item only being a FHD resolution and being so use to all my devices and tv being 4k or higher i wasn’t sure if id be hapoy with the quality. But I must say it doesn’t disappoint. Some streaming services like Prime streams at a higher quality picture than say Netflix in my opinion but none the less the picture quality is great to shown only on a beige wall. I do plan on getting a screen to enhance the quality down the line. I definitely suggest you have this in a room with blackout curtains if you plan on watching it during the day. While it is still watchable you’ll lose alot of contrast because of all the light in the room.

The fact that i can point the projector onto the wall,ceiling, and whatever you want the picture looks really good. I can also cast from my phone to the projector without any problems, making it easy to keep up with my sports teams. People complain that it's not bright, but projectors are meant to be used in the dark. Also it comes pre loaded with apps, so there no need to carry any firesticks or extra cords around. Just plug and play. So far, im happy with it.

I’m absolutely enjoying my evenings at home with a full-screen experience, just like at the cinema! The quality and size of the screen really enhance my movie nights. It’s like having a personal theater in the comfort of my own home. Definitely a great purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Very small and convenient, the viewing effect is also very good. Very convenient, the projection is also very clear,This is the effect during the day. It is clearer and the colors are more vivid after turning off the lights at night.

The Little Projector That Could

The Samsung Freestyle 2 is a great projector, but only for those who want a versatile and portable option. At this price range, you can get a higher quality projector but don’t expect it to be as portable or include the smart functionality/built-in wireless connectivity of the Freestyle 2.
The Freestyle 2 is small and lightweight, making it easy to set up in the backyard, inside a garage or to take to a friend’s house. The Freestyle 2 functions as a streaming stick as well, making it easy to stream Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and all your other streaming services directly from the unit. Also new to this updated model is the Gaming Hub, which allows you to pair a gaming controller and stream services like Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna.
The Freestyle 2 projects a bright and clear image, although your best experience will be in a dimly lit or darkened area. It also has a variety of features that make it easy to use, such as automatic keystone correction and autofocus. The projector is plug-and-play, but you will need to use your phone or the onscreen keyboard to set up the device and link all your streaming services to it.
I tested Xbox Game Pass streaming on the Freestyle 2 with great results. There was minimal input lag and I was able to play Lies of P for about 30 minutes without any issues. We also streamed the entirety of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 on it, but the built-in speaker on the Freestyle 2 is not loud enough for bigger environments, so be ready to pair a Bluetooth speaker to the unit as we did. This worked great with no noticeable audio lag while streaming from Disney+.
Overall, the Samsung Freestyle 2 is a fantastic choice for someone who wants a good-quality portable projector with smart functionality. The Gaming Hub is also a huge plus and a fun feature to have in a projector like this. Also, I was disappointed to find out that it didn’t have a built-in battery, but can be powered by an external battery that supports PD USB-C or by purchasing the Samsung battery accessory.
Here’s a quick pros and cons list:
Pros:
Portable
Bright and clear image
Able to be powered by a battery or the Samsung battery base accessory
Easy to set up and operate
Auto keystone correction and autofocus
Cons:
Expensive
Not as bright as some other projectors
Not as high resolution as other projectors
