This is a projector that also integrates smart speaker capabilities. All this with a Smart TV interface for the projector part, and with intelligent functions to be able to use it on any surface without major inconveniences. That is, it is a hybrid between speaker, projector and extremely compact smart TV.
Its size should not be misleading: it is capable of emitting images up to 100 inches in size with Full HD resolution. In addition, it works with Bixby, the virtual assistant of the Korean firm, which will serve to take even more advantage of the other devices in the Samsung home automation ecosystem.

This projector follows an idea similar to that of some televisions in the Samsung lifestyle range, such as The Sero or The Sherif. It is the form factor of the projector that makes it so interesting as it works thanks to a mobile stand that allows it to be used in several different positions.

It is a projector that emits images in Full HD, and its emission range goes from 30 to 100 inches. It weighs 830 grams and has a micro HDMI and USB-C connector, as well as a switch to cancel the microphone and not hear our voice. An external battery can be connected via type C, and it supports loads of up to 50W, so despite being screwed to the base, it is totally portable.
The key to this projector is that it uses the same Smart TV interface that Samsung TVs integrate. In other words, it has streaming platforms, sending content from our smartphone and downloading applications. On the other hand, being a smart speaker, there is no need to connect an external speaker to it if it is not necessary.

The projector image also automatically adjusts for any surface using keystone correction and auto leveling. The focus is also automatic and at the audio level, the projector includes a dual passive woofer with 360-degree surround sound.
Price and availability
For now, this projector will launch mainly in the United States at a price of $900. Samsung has ensured that this projector will reach the rest of the world, so it is a matter of time before it ends up arriving in Spain, yes, surely at a direct price conversion.
