Full Screen Entertainment on the Go

The Freestyle projects your favorite content in 30 to 100 inches³ of colorful clarity, and automatically optimizes for Full High Definition (Full HD) viewing at 1080×1920 resolution. It includes a cradle stand that users can tilt with a rotation of 180 degrees for floor-to-ceiling viewing flexibility. And, it’s designed with built-in 360-degree sound that makes for an immersive audio experience. For use on-the-go, you can even connect The Freestyle with your personal portable battery⁴ – no outlet required.

Setting up The Freestyle is a breeze, thanks to Auto Leveling, Auto Focus, and Auto Keystone technology that does the hard work for you and automatically adjusts your picture for the best viewing experience. With Samsung PurColor technology, colors are automatically optimized to deliver rich, more true-to-life picture quality. You can also mirror content from your smartphone using the SmartThings app⁵ and the Smart Calibration feature⁶ will upgrade what you’re watching to set the color, exposure, and picture quality.

The Freestyle 2nd Gen with Gaming Hub boasts increased memory, which enables a snappier UX and makes it easier to experience your favorite content right from the smart projector. It also ships with the Samsung SolarCell Remote, which uses a solar panel for convenient charging, whether you’re indoors or outdoors. It provides a sustainable alternative to traditional battery-powered remotes, expected to save up to 200 million batteries from landfills over the seven years.

The Freestyle 2nd Gen recently received “Editor’s Choice” and “Top Picks” awards from Newsweek, Home Theater Review, Techaeris and Techlicious. To shop The Freestyle 2nd Gen and its accessories, visit Samsung.com.
