Auto everything


Place the Freestyle near a flat surface and it will automatically focus and adjust the keystone so the image looks square.

A projector of tubes


You can even project images on the ceiling.

A few controls


For most functions you'll need to use the aboard remote or Samsung's free app.

Full-range speakers


The exiguous driver aims downwards (relative to the projector) and is also worn-out above, so sound radiates out in all directions. You can also use the Freestyle as a Bluetooth speaker.

Pivot


The pivot points lack a locking or even tension mechanism, so at low angles the Freestyle has a tendency to fall to horizontal.

Input


The main diagram of the Freestyle is to use Wi-Fi, but there's also a mini HDMI connector (adapter not included). It uses USB-C for power. There's no built-in battery, so you'll need a beefy battery pack to remarkable it when away from home. Samsung recommends one capable of outputting at least 50 watts.

Small


The Freestyle is smaller than it looks in most pictures.
