Wasn't user friendly for an old Gen.Xer like me. Youngins like millennials or there other kids who follow them would likely have an easier time. Once I did get it set up / connected to Internet, it didn't take too long to figure out how to navigate its menu. Very cool that it's "smart." You can watch Netflix, Prime videos. And it comes pre-programmed with a ton of watchable free options.
I recommend pairing it with an alternative speaker. The sound is just "ok" and certainly not suitable for a movie theater / large crowd experience. I paired mine with a JBL Xtreme 3- bluetooth and reasonably priced with BIG sound. I'm enjoying it and do suggest buying it.

This Projector is straight up Amazing! I can't even find the smallest negative thing I can say about it. I take it in to work with me every weekend during my 12 hour shifts & since I don't have any internet access I simply access my streaming services on my Galaxy S22 Ultra, then connect to the projector through the Smart Things app. Then connect the projector to a Bluetooth Speaker & with the 75" screen its like my own personal Movie theater. Sometimes I will just use my mobile hotspot to connect the projector to internet & just stream straight from the apps I've downloaded on the projector.. The picture quality is great. It is very simple to operate. In conclusion, my last thing I have to say is that it is just 1 more great Samsung Product..

Nice gadget

It’s a very cool new device from Samsung. Overall, it’s a combination of a projector, app entwinement and speaker into portable form. It mimics menu structure and functionality from modern Samsung TVs, even remote has familiar layout.
Ambient mode let’s you projects beautiful scenery or just a simple Happy Birthday message onto any not reflective flat surface, up to 100”
Pros:
- Portable projector
- Built in apps and screen mirroring
- Loud speaker
Cons:
- Remote power is shared with Samsung TVs, so both devices can’t be in the same room
- Needs darker room, as it’s not very bright - Slower than TV menu - No full size HDMI, adapter needed
I have received this a free product for an honest review.

rusyfikator,
Thank you for your review of The Freestyle projector and for sharing details of the delayed response time you are experiencing, as well as image quality and remote functionality. The remote's on/off function is done via IR (infrared) therefore it cannot be paired to a specific unit. You will need to be in close range of your target device so the light does not reach other TVs in your home.
To ensure your projector is fully optimized, please be sure your firmware is up to date with version 1081.3 which includes various performance updates. You can check this by going to: Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now.
Your projector has several Picture Modes to choose from, allowing you to enjoy content in optimal conditions. Go to: Home > Menu > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Picture Mode 1) Standard: Is the default mode suitable for general viewing environments. 2) Movie: Is suitable for watching TV or movies in a dark room. 3) Dynamic: Makes the picture brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments.
You can also manually fine tune your image by going to: Home > Menu > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > Brightness
I hope these tips help improve your experience. Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

Compact Samsung Freestyle

Compact Samsung freestyle…
After opening the package of the Samsung Freestyle, the first thing that caught my eye was how compact the unit was. I was impressed. I was skeptical that this new form of projector would be able to deliver on its promises, but I was completely wrong. I was blown away. The Smart Things app made it simple to get started, and the system was up and operating in less than three minutes. Given that I already own a Samsung TV, the Smart Tizen interface was immediately familiar to me. However, the interface is so user-friendly that no tutorials will be required. All of your favorite viewing apps, such as Amazon Prime and Netflix, are available on this platform. Simply choose a viewing surface and point The Freestyle at it, and the unit will calculate and display angles. This device's automatic keystone will produce a perfectly rectangular image and will focus the High Definition image. There is nothing else that can be done. You're now watching your content, which could be a video or one of the ambient visual scenes displayed on the screen. The built-in speaker emits sound at a 360-degree angle that is crystal clear and significantly louder than imagined. With the addition of the Freestyle Carry Case, the projector can be simply packed when traveling. It is powered by a small and convenient USB C connector and cable, and it can be readily transported. After trying every aspect of The Freestyle over the course of the previous week, it has been clear to me that it can be used in a variety of circumstances for amusement as well as for work or as a decorative item. I absolutely adore The Freestyle, and everyone who has seen it has expressed an interest in purchasing one for themselves. I hope that the Freestyle's compact size, versatility, and ease of use will encourage more people to consider home projection, who previously believed it would be untidy and expensive.

In terms of size and weight, the Samsung Freestyle is a superb compact portable LED Full HD projector that is both light and robust, enabling it to be taken about with ease while maintaining its excellent performance. Despite the fact that its maximum brightness is limited, it has a beautiful look, a robust connection, and critical functionality such as automatic focus, leveling, and keystoning, as well as a built-in smart platform and compatibility with high dynamic range.
Whenever a picture is projected into a wall, the projector can produce huge images, and the Smart Calibration feature ensures that the colors seem genuine even when projected into off-white surfaces - but not into extremely highly colored ones. Alternatively, the resultant pictures are bright and vivid, with no discernible artifacts, and the motion handling is exceptional.
Because the smart platform has been properly designed and is straightforward to use, it offers a wide range of control options through the remote, the SmartThings app, and voice-activated assistants. In spite of the fact that input latency is significant for skilled gamers (even in Game Mode), it will be acceptable for the vast majority of users, and the sound quality is amazing considering the projector's diminutive dimensions.
Overall, Samsung's The Freestyle provides big-picture entertainment everywhere you go and whenever you want it to be available to you.

This freestyle projector in my opinion is a game changer say good bye to TVs and hello to The Samsung freestyle projector. The picture quality on this projector is phenomenal and so clear. I love that I’m able to watch my favorite streaming apps easily on this projector. My favorites are Netflix, Disney+, and HboMax! When you on the Home Screen you can see the amount and types of apps you can download are endless from streaming apps, music, games, live tv, and more. The volume goes up to 100 and it’s pretty loud to me. The projector itself is so sleek and I love the circular design. The bottom platform allows it to have a sturdy flat surface at times. I can angle the projector as high as I want as well as as low as I needed it. The remote that comes with the projector is so thin but a good thin and it has everything you need on there. It’s very easy to access the live tv feature which is so underrated! Live tv is a bonus for sure because it has so many categories of show genres! Overall I love it and so does my hubby. We have used it in our backyard this past weekend for a birthday party sleepover and the kids loved it! I’ve had so many ask me about it and how they would love to have it in their home. It’s amazing and portable! You can literally take it anywhere, just unplug and take with you. That’s the secret weapon with the product and what makes it more worth it. You can put in your purse, backpack or just carry it. It’s very light weight. I also want to mention that set up was easy. I signed into my Samsung account and my Amazon account and everything was a breeze. I did setup using the remote rather than my phone and it didn’t take long at all. 10min max If that. When it came to casting my iPhone it was a breeze which I really loved!

Portable, Great Image Quality, and Oh So Simple!

This projector is much smaller than I expected. I am used to heavy, clunky and large projectors, and expected this to be about the size of a Hydroflask, but was surprised to find it a whole lot more compact!
One of the downsides of a projector is the noise the fans make when it is up and running. The Samsung Freestyle Projector is whisper quiet!! You can barely even notice there is a fan in the device. The speakers are ridiculously impressive for the size and completely fill a room enough for a quality movie night.
The 65w max power draw is really nice - it means that I can have a great projector on-the-go and use it with my portable battery packs for movie nights while camping!
I love that I can use my iPhone with this to Airplay my apps directly to the projector - this is a feature I dont think many other projectors have, and is a huge plus for me.
The remote that comes with the Freestyle projector is slick and intuitive!
My favorite part of the projector is how simple it is to setup, use, and adjust on the fly. All the built in sensors do a great job of readjusting the image if there is a change in projection angle and is a whole lot easier than doing it myself!
I took it to Vegas this past weekend and it was such a great addition to the party!

Portability is at the core of this projector's appeal. Weighing only a few pounds and featuring a compact form factor, it's easy to carry around and set up wherever you want to enjoy your media. Whether you're going on a camping trip, hosting a backyard movie night, or giving a presentation on the road, this projector is a reliable companion.

With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can effortlessly connect your smartphone, tablet, or other devices to stream content directly. This eliminates the need for cumbersome cables and allows for a seamless streaming experience.
The picture quality is impressive, with vibrant colors and sharp details. The projector boasts a high resolution and brightness, ensuring that your visuals look stunning, even in well-lit environments.

Even if you're not tech-savvy, you'll have no trouble getting the projector up and running in no time.
However, one minor drawback is that the projector's fan can be somewhat noisy during operation. While it's not overly distracting, it's worth noting for those who are particularly sensitive to noise.
Overall, the Samsung Freestyle Projector is an excellent choice for those seeking a portable entertainment solution. With its compact design, impressive picture quality, and wireless connectivity options, it provides a hassle-free and immersive viewing experience. Whether you're using it for work or leisure, this projector delivers on its promises and is definitely worth considering.

This projector has been super fun to use! It is super light and very practical. We have moved it from room to room and it never disappoints. The system had a little lag at the beginning, but all I needed was to update the software through the app. I love the fact that I can project my favorite shows on the ceiling, and if I get tired, I can just adjust it to the wall. My FAVORITE way to use the projector is while I do homework! I can easily project what I am typing in Microsoft Word, or play background music and videos while I'm trying to focus. I think this product would be perfect for families with kids, due to its portability and amazing quality.

A Premium Pocket Home Theater Experience!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Are you interested? Well you should be and here’s why…This projector is an all around easy to use projector that can be experienced using your phone or other devices for portable usage. Want to host a movie in your backyard or turn your family room into a full theater experience -- this is your projector. Just set and play directly on your wall. The projector has Smart TV capabilities, you can check your social feed, play games with friends and do it all with high quality 360 degree sound.
Performance/Quality
Samsung made a super smart, super small projector that can do everything the larger projectors can do without skimping on features. And there’s no need to adjust the focus or leveling on the projector because the device does it automatically -- no buttons to press or toggle. The picture quality is bright and the amount of features is incredible. Having Samsung Smart TV and all the apps onboard including Netflix, Disney Plus and Prime Video at my fingertips making the projector a major step better than the others. The picture quality is even sharper than other portable projectors and it also doubles as a speaker, a light or a star show projector. This projector is a full 1080p HDR-capable on a screen display up to 100 inches! The speakers have great sound and you can even connect bluetooth. Now can your TV do all of that? Nope! So if you’re like my family -- this one is a keeper!
Design
It’s super lightweight, under 2 pounds but sturdy and takes up very little space. The projector comes in white with an aluminum/metal frame that sits in a cradle. The frame can swivel up to 180 degrees to allow for a viewing experience directly on the wall or even on the ceiling if you want to watch while laying down. We can’t wait to travel with it --drop it in the suitcase and go!
Pros
-- sound right from your projector
-- portable and lightweight
-- easy to use and set up
-- Google assistant and Alexa built-in
-- has Auto Leveling, Auto Focus and Auto Keystone included
-- can connect gaming devices
Cons
-- No 3.5mm audio input
-- Doesn’t allow a 4k signal
-- Battery life is a bit short overall
-- Took several tries to get the device set up on SmartThings

LARADA,
Thank you for choosing The Freestyle projector and for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the design and battery life, as well as the issues you are experiencing with your SmartThings app. If your projector status is stuck in a particular state or does not respond to an action in your SmartThings app, you might want to try the following steps:
1) Please make sure both devices are connected to the same local network. The phone and projector must be connected to the same network as your router to be discovered by the app.
2) Refresh the device using the SmartThings app. From the Devices tab, swipe down to refresh the device list.
3) Delete and re-add the device on the SmartThings app.
I hope this helps. For further assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.
