The original Samsung Freestyle portable projector was a bit of a game changer when it was announced back in 2022. A small projector that could run on USB Power Delivery and operate like a Samsung TV. Despite a modest update, the Freestyle was in need of more tweaks to keep up with the chasing pack.
Having said that, I still love my original Freestyle. Only recently, I used it for a backyard cinema to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of my parents-in-law. It was a beautiful evening under the Sydney stars, with just a white sheet as a projector screen.

But now, Samsung has added the following features to make the Freestyle+ a much better option:
- 3D Auto Keystone automatically corrects distortion even when projecting onto uneven or non-flat surfaces, such as corners, curtains, or angled walls.
- Real-time Focus continuously adjusts focus as the projector moves or rotates, helping maintain clear, stable images, reducing blurring or visual noise.
- Screen Fit automatically adjusts the image to match the screen area when used with a compatible projector screen accessory.
- Wall Calibration analyses the colour or pattern of the projection surface and minimises visual distractions for clearer viewing.
“The Freestyle+ reflects Samsung’s vision to create displays that adapt to how people live and move between spaces,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.
“By combining true portability with AI that optimises both the viewing environment and the content itself, The Freestyle+ makes it easier to enjoy a consistent, high-quality experience wherever you are.”
At the core of The Freestyle+ is AI OptiScreen, Samsung’s AI-powered screen optimisation technology that automatically adjusts the picture to different spaces, so users can simply point, place and start watching.
AI OptiScreen includes a set of intelligent features designed to automatically optimise the picture across different surfaces and environments:
This intelligent viewing experience is further supported by Vision AI Companion features, which integrate enhanced Bixby with AI services.
Built-in access to Samsung TV Plus and Samsung Gaming Hub allows users to stream, play and explore content directly from the projector without the need for external devices.
For audio, The Freestyle+ delivers immersive sound through its built-in 360-degree speaker. Q-Symphony allows the projector to work in sync with compatible Samsung soundbars or you can just use an external speaker.
The Freestyle+ should be available globally in the first half of 2026.
