At the Las Vegas consumer electronics fair, Samsung has of course presented new televisions, a new smartphone (the Galaxy S21 FE) but especially The Freestyle.Behind this name (judiciously found) hides a portable projector to transform any surface into TV.
Samsung in total freestyle
The idea is not new you will say, brands like Anker have already been offering it for a long time.You are right.Besides, Anker also presented a new portable projector model, the 4K laser cosmos.More than gadgets, these two products transform our way of consuming content.
Technically, The Freestyle and the 4K laser cosmos have (almost) nothing to envy to the TV of our salons.The Samsung projector is capable of displaying an image of 100 ’’ (254 cm) with a full HD definition.No need to trash with the adjustment of the focus, everything is done automatically.
The Freestyle delivers a 360 ° sound to pass through an integrated speaker.You can also control it with Bixby or Amazon Alexa.To launch content, just caster from your smartphone or tablet.The main streaming services are supported and it is also possible to play since the device recognizes the game consoles.
The particularity of this projector is that it can be used everywhere, all the time, provided that a surface is available to project the contents.

With its 4K laser cosmos, Anker pushes the technical limits and even comes to rub the 4K televisions.His experience with this type of product (Anker was already marketing the Nebula Capsule, a mobile projector the size of a can) allows Anker to go further than Samsung.
The 4K laser cosmos is therefore also a mobile projector but it distributes the contents in 4K with a hallucinating brightness of 2400 lumens.Integrated loudspeakers with a power of 30W are responsible for the sound immersion.Above all, the 4K laser cosmos has a complete Android TV 9 interface.
The Samsung projector like that of Anker raises the question of our uses.Who has never dreamed of transporting a cinema on him with a lower size?This is the promise of freestyle and 4K laser cosmos: bring mobility to the image.
Obviously, the projector display quality does not equal that of the best 4K TV.Above all, their price still has them to an audience with comfortable finances.The Freestyle de Samsung will be available on February 17 (pre -orders from January 20) at a price of 999 euros.The 4K laser cosmos will be available at 2199 euros.A more affordable Full HD version will also be marketed.Its price remains unknown.
So, rather portable projector or 4K TV?
