    It’s like portable smart Tv

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Samsung New freestyle projector It was straight forward when opening the box. Let me just say I loved the layout once opening the box. very organized. It’s so pretty! I love the round design and the cradle that allows you to project on any surface. The size I can already tell you makes it easier to take on the go or even to a different room if you wanted. All you need is the projector, internet, and the power cable and block that came with it. After admiring the projector, I took off the protective lens cap and the film. If you look closely to the face, you will notice the volume up and down logos that makes it easy to adjust when the remote is not in reach. Once taking out the cords it was easy to plug in. Once you plug it in and power on the projector, the remote paired instantly so I didn’t have to do it manually. I was able to log into my Samsung account using my phone which I loved. I also used the remote for setup rather than my phone though it was faster. Everything took about 10 minutes I would say if that to fully get the projector set up. I was logging in into my accounts so that they would be connected to make my experience with the projector and what it offered better. Once I got to the home screen, I was literally happy because it was like having a smart tv inside the projector. It offered all the great tv shows/movie apps that I enjoy as well as some games that I could play. I wondered about live tv and pressed the CC/AD and was able to find new/cartoons/music/cooking shows and so much more. The Samsung freestyle projector offers 5w full range speakers that enhances your experience. I use mine in my kitchen on our high walls and turn volume all the way up (100) and its loud. You get that full surround sound. The picture quality is magnificent. Its high quality and very clear. There are so many things you can watch on this projector. When I say it’s like a smart tv, I mean just that. So much variety on tv and movie apps. They carry 44 game apps, so many kinds of music apps and sports and other stuff. There is never a reason to not watch something. They also have Sling TV for those who don’t have cable. I’ve been watching the projector since I got it and I love it. My husband and I had date night and used the ambient selection to have a fireplace in the background with music to set the mood. (Home button then press the left button and you’ll see it in the option above media). There are a few things I truly love about using the Samsung Freestyle projector. 1. The white color and the sleek design. Its fresh, modern and very stylish. 2. I love, love, love the size of the projector. I can easily put in my purse and take it anywhere. Its very lightweight and easy to transport 3. I love that I’m able to mirror/cast and Bluetooth from my iPhone with ease thanks to airplay on projector. Its not laggy at all which was nice. 4. I love that I’m able to use voice assistant Alexia to assist me with all my needs while using the projector. It takes seconds for alexia to hear me and do as I command. No long waits. 5. I love the 360 sound that comes from the projector. Its loud and can be heard very clearly. The projector has 5w range speakers. 6. I love the streaming apps that it has. I’ll name a few Disney+, ESPN, Spotify, Netflix, Prime video, YouTube, SiriusXM and so many more. 7. Ambient must be one of the smartest things in the projector’s features. I'm able to set the mood for any occasion or upload my own pictures and use those. I love to have options. 8. I love that I can set it up in my “SmartThings” app. For those who have apple iPhone/iPad, its the “Home” app but for Samsung. Overall, I have been loving this projector. I don’t have anything bad to say about it. It has everything I could need on it. The sound is amazing and loud. The picture is perfect and clear. The automatic focus comes in handy and clears up fast and efficiently. As far as knowing the battery % of your remote control, go to setting, power and energy saving, and it’ll tell you. So many great specs come with this projector, and I feel it’s worth it. I can’t wait to take it camping

    The Samsung Freestyle FHD is simply amazing. The image quality is surprisingly crisp and vibrant, even on uneven surfaces. It’s portable, easy to set up, and has an intuitive smart interface that provides quick access to all essential apps. The built-in sound is impressive for such a compact device, delivering clear and robust audio. It's incredibly user-friendly and perfect for movie nights, presentations, or gaming. Overall, it’s a fantastic portable projector—compact, versatile, and powerful.

    The Samsung Freestyle was sent to us for review. We were happy to receive the portable projector and immediately started using it. The setup was easy. The unit is smaller than expected but works well. The set up to our TV using a Samsun phone was immediate. The picture quality is good, and the ease of positioning to view. The smart projector automatically levels. Which is a great feature. Any features are easily adjusted via the remote. We will continue to use the Ssamsung Freestyle and find other uses.

    Amazing Product

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This projector actually blew me away. I am used to the light from a projector being annoying and not good enough to look at but this projector must have something HD or very high quality in it since it gives off an amazing view. It also adjusts to many different screen areas which was very shocking to see in action and to see just how accurately it was able to adapt even every few seconds if you keep moving it. The fact that it is portable means I can have a screen in my bedroom or even on the ceiling! The sound loudness and quality is good enough but not amazing but it works well! The product also looks very sleek and modern and is easy to plug in and get going. It also seamlessly connects to my Samsung SmartThings app which is another reason I am slowly becoming Samsung for almost everything. For all the above reasons, this projector blew me away and deserves the highest praise.

    Love this thing. Extremely portable. I'm no expert, but the quality of the picture seems great, and while we normally hook ours up to an external speaker, you can get pretty good sound out of the projector on its own in a pinch.

    WASTE OF MONEY

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Where to start? Takes at least 60 seconds, usually longer, to switch on. Autofocus does not work, hence, often times, I switch the device on, I the have to do a manual focus. Try figuring out how to get to the focus setting under settings menu with a terribly out of focus view to get this right. Then on to the keystone which should straighten the picture under the Auto Setting, no can do, I need to then manually do this too. And to be clear, the picture is so lop sided, that you would have to tilt your head about 60 degrees to see what is going on. If the device has been powered off for longer than a few hours, a screen size adjustment needs to be done, manually again. Thought this thing could project a good picture in the day, absolutely not. Battery barely lasts, even if fully charged. Even if the battery is fully charged, we then watch the projector (unplugged from mains) for 60 minutes before bed time, switch it off, and guess what, the very next morning, battery is entirely drained, although it has barely been used. Highly frustrating. Some of our laptops do not connect via the air to the device, hence we have had to get a mini HDMI (extra cost, for goodness sake, could this not be provided with the extra expensive device ?). Now, with the mini HDMI, we have to use the long cable instead of the shorter one, to connect the device to the battery due to SAMSUNG, FOR SOME REASON only providing 90 degree C type plugs on 3 of the 4 available plugs (2 cables, 1 long, 1 very very short). For the above reason, we now have to use the extra short cable to plug the battery into the mains to charge, seriously, SAMSUNG, are you that cheap ? Also, Surely, as the battery is sold separately, it would come with its own charger and cables ? NOOOOOO SAMSUNG is too CHEAP for this, battery has to be used with the charger that was supplied with the device. Hence, we cannot charge the battery full while watching the projector. HOENESTLY THE STUPIDIST THING I HAVE COME ACROSS! Overall, a terrible terrible purchase. WASTE OF MONEY.

      DylanN,

      We appreciate your feedback on navigation and Auto Focus performance on The Freestyle. To ensure your unit is fully optimized, we ask that you make sure your unit has the latest firmware version installed. You can check firmware by going to: Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.

      Please also check the following, which may further improve Auto Focus and Keystone Correction:
      1. Remove the film covering the lens, as this can affect Auto Focus performance.
      2. Position the device with the “Samsung” logo on the bottom of the unit.

    Pros: Very convenient, portable, nice UI Cons: Sometimes autokeystone does not work properly, need to put it in manual adjustment mode at some angles, need to click through multiple buttons to adjust keystone and that will end the connection with any airplay / projection and you have to reconnect it But overall solid! I've been using it daily

    I pre-ordered The Freestyle directly from Samsung. 1 week before my expected delivery date, I receive an email that it's been delayed another month. Upon receiving the package, the security tape had already been broken, so I suspected that I received a previously returned unit. Regardless, I was still somewhat excited to get it set up. I turn the unit on and am given the option of setting it up via the SmartThings app or the remote. I download the app, scan the QR code, and am informed that the app doesn't recognize the device. I fiddled around with the app some more and eventually gave up. Using the remote to painfully input my information, I get to the main menu. 45 minutes later, I finally finish logging in to Netflix, HBO Max, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, and Plex. I watch a couple of shows and try out Airplay. Image quality was excellent, much better than I expected. However, after using the Freestyle on and off for a little over 3 hours, I got fed up with it. For $900, I don't want to use a sluggish UI to fix the blurry and slanted image every time I turn on the projector, so I'm returning it.

    The Samsung projector is a super cool gadget that any tech lover would enjoy. It has some awesome features like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon streaming with a remote that’s easy to use. WiFi connection was fast and easy. The key is finding a completely blank wall to stream on, or purchasing a screen. It’s a pricey gadget and for the steep price it would have been nice if they included a case/protective storage for it. I received this item to test for review.

    I really would like to give this a 5 star but couple of things needs improvement on this projector. First issue is the projector sometimes rolls down when using it at an angle, second issue is no tool to adjust or tightened the two sides on the projector. But other than that it’s really cool device to travel with and easy to use. I would recommend to anyone
