Since the announcement of Samsung Electronics’ all-new portable screen at CES 2022, The Freestyle surpassed pre-order expectations with greater than anticipated consumer demand – a testament to its all-in-one capabilities. The Freestyle offers first-of-its-kind technology that can be used in any location, according to the user’s lifestyle, preferences and personal style.
Samsung Newsroom has put together a guide to showcase how The Freestyle goes beyond the scope of conventional projectors to deliver a truly immersive entertainment experience.
1. The Bigger, The Better: Scalable Screens for Homes of Any Size
When it comes to your TV screen, bigger is better. With The Freestyle, you have the freedom to configure your screen size, not only allowing for the flexibility to view in small spaces, but also create a large screen home theatre experience. Enjoy watching content on a large screen (up to 100 inches) in your desired location. Using the Scale & Move feature, you can scale the projected display size up to 50% and move the screen without ever moving the projector.[1]
For sports fans, a large screen is a must. With The Freestyle, you can still experience the game-day atmosphere, even if you’re not there in person — simply invite friends over and cheer for your favourite team while enjoying The Freestyle’s large screen and high-quality sound as if you were there in-person. Elevate your viewing experience for any content you watch, from sports commentary to remote concerts and nature documentaries.
Take a trip down memory lane by browsing your family photo albums using The Freestyle’s mirroring feature for Android and iOS devices. Through smartphone mirroring, you can even video call your friends and family on a large screen[2]. Light up your wall with heartfelt memories and stay connected to your loved ones, even when you’re far apart.
2. Travel Far, Pack Light: Portable Screens Perfect for Outdoors
If you want to explore the great outdoors in comfort and style, The Freestyle is a must-have item in your bag. With its compact size and minimal weight at only 830 grams, this portable projector is super convenient to pack. With The Freestyle, you can create your own space for watching content at your convenience, whether indoors or outdoors[3].
What if you’re watching your favourite movie at home, and you suddenly need to leave your house? Simply bring The Freestyle with you and resume your movie from where you left off at your new location. Whether it’s your friend’s place, a hotel abroad, or even outdoors, now it’s easier, faster and more convenient to stream your favourite content as if you were at home. Using the Tap View feature in the SmartThings app on your smartphone, simply connect The Freestyle to your mobile device to access the exact User Interface of your Samsung Smart TV[4][5].
There’s nothing like enjoying a cool summer night watching movies in the backyard or at a campsite. Whether you’re making memories with your family or spending time with friends, The Freestyle can turn any campsite into a movie theatre — no screen required. Simply use one side of your tent for a bright and clear viewing experience. No campfire? No problem. Project a video of a fireplace for a cozy night under the stars.
3. Find Your Sweet Spot: Entertainment for Anywhere in Your Home
Even if you love staying at home, you’re not limited to watching everything in one spot. You can stream a movie with your family in the living room, and then take The Freestyle with you when you want to watch something in your bedroom. Designed for portability, The Freestyle automatically adjusts the screen size, resolution, and orientation with its auto focus and keystone capabilities as soon as you touch the power button for a quick and hassle-free setup.
The Freestyle also freely rotates up to 180 degrees, allowing you to find the perfect spot without moving the projector. Easily change the angle to display content anywhere in your home, whether it’s on the wall, the ceiling, the floor, or the table. You can also power on and off the device using only your voice, so it’s perfect for when you’re ready to fall asleep. You can ask questions, listen to music, or open apps with ease using voice commands[6].
If you love decorating your home, you can also add ambiance to your room with The Freestyle. Even if you don’t have a white screen or a clear wall to use, you can still enhance your space with mood lighting effects, artwork and more. Create your own unique home interior by projecting content onto the curtains or blinds, adding style and personality to your living space.
4. Life of the Party: Customizable Features Worth Celebrating
For those who love to host, The Freestyle offers features that are something to celebrate. When it’s not being used as a projector, The Freestyle has an ambient mode that allows you to customize your space with mood lighting effects. Instead of using a placard, you can use The Freestyle to create a photo zone for your party instantly. Press play on your favourite playlist through The Freestyle’s speaker and turn your get-together into an unforgettable night.
With high-quality sound and Bluetooth connectivity, The Freestyle is a great choice to play music at your next event. The Freestyle’s powerful built-in speakers deliver premium 360-degree sound so you can experience immersive audio from wherever you’re sitting. By playing your favourite artist onscreen, you can quickly transform your living room into your very own concert venue.
The Freestyle also offers a variety of colours that give users the freedom to express their unique style down to the smallest detail. It’s easy to upgrade the look of your projector with soft, protective rubber covers in colours for every occasion, such as Blossom Pink, Forest Green and Coyote Beige[7].
The Freestyle goes beyond the capabilities of regular projector devices to give you the freedom to customize and consume content how you want. This ultraportable, smart TV projector combines high-quality visuals and immersive audio to deliver an entire entertainment experience. Transform your space and express yourself with the infinite possibilities provided by The Freestyle, made to fit your lifestyle.
The Freestyle is now available in Canada. For more information, please visit Samsung.com/ca.
