< 5 steps to turn on The Freestyle >
5 Steps Only!!

*Please note that this sample unit only comes with 2-pins, The Freestyle in Malaysia will come with 3-pins power adapter (Suitable for Malaysia), so NO external adapter required.
 
 

[ DESIGN ] 

 

Portable Projectors have been around for a while but The Freestyle is easily one of the more compact and lightweight, ideal for travel use and it only weighs just 830 grams. The Freestyle’s stand is made from metal and a rubbery soft touch finished for the body of the projector.

 

Able to turn up to 180 Degree, flexible right?
 

The metal stand allows you to rotate The Freestyle up to 180 Degree

 

As this is a Samsung device, the color comes with a lovely crisp white finished body which looks clean and pleasingly to eyes.

On the side of The Freestyle, there’s a micro HDMI for Input, a Type C USB port which is for Power and a little Microphone switch for easy turning on and off when the remote is not with you.

imageThe good thing with this remote control for The Freestyle can charge using Type c connecter, the design of the remote is simple and nice, and also very lightweight.
 
The Freestyle remote has all of your basic buttons but also does have some dedicated buttons to be able to launch certain apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime video. On top of the remote your will find a dedicated microphone button because this remote control also does have a built-in microphone so you can either talk to the Freestyle Projector or if you're a little bit further away you can use the remote control to go hands-free. And also this remote is RF (radio frequency), which mean you don't have to actually be pointing it directly at the projector, you can point it up the sky, down below left right whatever you want to point it to, it still able to control it. 
 
Note: Disney plus and Samsung TV plus are unavailable in Malaysia
 

[ SETUP ]


Chilling with The Freestyle

 

 

With Samsung Smart AI technology, this little projector allows you to sit back and relax, it will do the adjustment of the screen automatically, which is called Instant Setup. 

 

[3A in Instant Setup]

 

Auto Focus for clear images: The Freestyle automatically focuses for a sharp, clear image in seconds. So you can just focus on the content.

Auto Keystone (Straightens itself like magic): The Freestyle automatically corrects skewed images for a straight, rectangular screen every time. 

 

 

Screen to the Left, to the Right, to the Top or Bottom, not a problem with The Freestyle

 

 

As you can see from the video, the screen aligned wherever you want it on the ceiling, wall or even on the table. All you have to do is turn it on.

 

Auto Leveling (Uneven ground? No problem): Auto Leveling ensures that your screen stays level on any surface—including rocky camping grounds, soft beds, and everything in between.

 

 

I placed a pant on bed and it can still view naturally

 

 

Additional Feature Setting: 

 

Scale and Move (Find the sweet spot for your screen): Adjust your screen without moving the projector. Scale down by up to 50% and move in all four directions until you find that perfect position.

 

 

You can either use your smartphone or remote to control it

 

 

[ TIZEN OS ]

 

The Freestyle does function as a standalone streaming device, so you don’t have to connect to your smartphone or anything else to it in order to stream content from a wide variety of different services, such as Netflix, Spotify, and many more. 

 

 

You still have the ability to download more apps in this The Freestyle!!

 

 

Ambient Mode Feature

Ambient mode is an amazing feature that allows you to project the ambient scene onto the wall for different kinds of events, like if it’s someone’s birthday, you can get a neon style sign project on the wall and get the party really kicking off in style.
