The Freestyle 2nd Gen embodies Samsung’s commitment to innovative design and technology. Its unique ability to stream cloud games without a console, along with an option to pair two projectors for a widescreen view, places it leagues ahead of its competitors.

 

Upon seeing the device, the first thing that catches the eye is its compact size. Despite its compact form factor, The Freestyle 2nd Gen can project a screen size of up to 100 inches, impressing many reviewers who have seen the product in action. Techlicious awarded the product an “Editor’s Choice” distinction for its big-screen picture quality, saying, “The Samsung Freestyle 2’s 100-inch picture was a pleasure to watch.”

No matter the size users choose to project their image, The Freestyle 2nd Gen maintains great picture as well as sound quality, with accurate colors and 360 sounds. Its 1080 x 1920 resolution enables larger, crisper and clearer images so that users can enjoy a big screen experience anytime, anywhere. Techlicious praised the device for being “a better option for movies or games where a big, bright picture with sound to match is paramount,” in addition to awarding it with four out of five stars.

 

Another innovative feature that will up-level the cinematic viewing experience is Samsung’s Smart Edge Blending, which allows two devices to merge and project a wide, cinematic screen, setting itself apart from the competition. Smart Edge Blending provides an expansive 160-inch panoramic and 120-inch vertical viewing experience that ensures no matter where you are, be it a backyard movie night or a gaming marathon in the living room, the visual experience is always top-notch. Outlets such as Techaeris awarded The Freestyle 2nd Gen with a “Top Pick 2023” distinction and commended its ability to have a bigger display by connecting two devices.

Enhanced Performance With Game Changing Features

The new Freestyle 2nd Gen truly shines in its gaming features and performance. The built-in Samsung Gaming Hub has been recognized as a unique feature for gamers who want a portable projector that caters to their lifestyle. Now players can connect their favorite game controller to the Gaming Hub on The Freestyle 2nd Gen and access more than 3,000 games via cloud-based gaming streaming partners like Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, Utomik, Antstream Arcade and Blacknut Cloud Gaming without the need for a separate gaming console. It is a literal game-changer, serving as a one-stop hub for players’ gaming needs.

 

HomeTheaterReview awarded the device with a “2023 Editor’s Choice” distinction and praised the new addition of the Gaming Hub, stating: “The Samsung Freestyle 2nd Gen with Gaming Hub is a unique portable projector that aims to take your entertainment experience to the next level by doing it all.”

To ensure smooth gaming experiences, The Freestyle 2nd Gen is equipped with an expanded DDR memory of 2.0GB and optimized software, which provides a snappier performance. Newsweek elaborated on the device’s performance, highlighting the significant leap from its predecessor: “The Freestyle Gen 2 is an overall better value thanks to the speedier interface and the ability to stream games.

Beyond Gaming: A Multimedia Powerhouse

It doesn’t stop at gaming. The Freestyle 2nd Gen allows users to access all their favorite television and movie content with ease, making binge-watching sessions an effortless affair.

 

In fact, the Freestyle 2nd Gen is ready to go straight out of the box. Without the need for endless wires and additional devices, users can easily stream and enjoy content with just a Wi-Fi connection. Through Samsung’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) and video-on-demand service (AVOD), Samsung TV Plus, users can access over 300 live TV channels, thousands of on-demand shows and movies in the U.S. and over 2,200 channels globally across 24 countries. Users also have access to all the same major OTT services they would on any Samsung smart TV, so all their favorite content is available on the go.

 

Outlets like Newsweek recognized the device as an “Editor’s Choice” and stressed that it appeals to those who prioritize a hassle-free entertainment experience: “Shoppers looking for a feature-packed, simple-to-set-up projector that allows you to stream and game without connecting anything other than power and WiFi will enjoy The Freestyle 2nd Gen with Gaming Hub.”

      Samsung Presents Powerful AI and Smart Features on Its Latest Neo QLED, OLED and Lifestyle Portfolio at European Tech Seminar
      By Samsung Newsroom
      Samsung Electronics, the world’s leading TV manufacturer for 18 consecutive years, has commenced its annual series of Tech Seminars in Frankfurt, Germany. From February 20 to 22, Samsung will showcase its newest display lineup for 2024 that features new, innovative AI technology and smart features on the Neo QLED, OLED and Lifestyle products to professionals in Europe.
       
      Tech Seminar sessions are a longstanding program, having delivered detailed information and exclusive hands-on experiences with new products for the past 13 years. As part of Samsung’s visual display vision — “We look out of the box to inspire new ways of life” — this year the company is displaying select, cutting-edge technologies from its 2024 lineup that offer new lifestyles and new ways of consuming content.
       
      The 2024 European Tech Seminar in Frankfurt sets the stage for similar sessions in major regions worldwide later this year, including Southeast Asia and Latin America. At these events, Samsung will feature new technologies that span across the latest TVs and lifestyle product lineup:
       
      Samsung’s 75-inch Neo QLED 8K QN900D incorporates the new and powerful NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor, which supports features like 8K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro for the best Neo QLED 8K visuals to date. The 2024 Tizen OS brings content front and center, offering a personalized experience based on different accounts set up on smart TVs. Tizen features services such as Samsung Gaming Hub, an all-in-one game streaming discovery platform, with content recommendations for a convenient and tailored cloud gaming experience. Music Frame is a customizable wireless speaker designed to seamlessly blend into its surroundings. It can operate as a standalone speaker, or it can pair with a Samsung TV and soundbar via Q-Symphony to deliver a more immersive viewing experience with surround sound. New OLED Glare Free technology was specifically designed for Samsung’s 2024 OLED screens and preserves color accuracy and image sharpness while reducing reflections from nearby lighting. The new, specialized hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection.  
      ▲ Martin Kim, Picture Quality Solution Lab at Samsung Electronics, explains that the 2024 Neo QLED 8K incorporates the new and powerful NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor, supporting AI-backed features such as 8K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro.

      “Kicking off our Tech Seminar series is always something we look forward to,” said Yong-Jae Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Each year we have the opportunity to meet with local media and professionals, not just to provide in-depth demonstrations and explanations on new technology, but also to discuss the products we are most excited about and hear their feedback.”
