Samsung Launches Freestyle+ in U.S. With Automated Image Setup

Sensor-driven alignment, color calibration, and obstacle avoidance are meant to make big-screen viewing effortless for after-dark use and short-setup rooms.

Overview

  • Samsung released the Freestyle+ in the U.S. this week and priced it at $1,199.99 with availability on Samsung.com and through select retailers.
  • The projector uses 3D Auto Keystone, real-time autofocus, Wall Calibration (OptiScreen), and obstacle avoidance to automatically straighten, focus, color-match, and resize images on uneven surfaces.
  • Technical specs include Full HD output up to 100 inches, roughly 430 ISO lumens of brightness, HDR10/HDR10+ support, and a built-in 360° speaker system that can pair with Samsung soundbars via Q‑Symphony.
  • The Freestyle+ runs Samsung’s Smart Hub/Tizen software with Gaming Hub, AirPlay 2, and Vision AI Companion (Bixby + Gemini), and users should note some voice/AI inputs may be recorded or shared with consent tied to a Samsung account.
  • Despite its compact size, the device lacks an internal battery and needs mains power, a USB‑C power bank, or Samsung’s optional Battery Base, so buyers should view it as a convenience-focused, dark‑room projector rather than a bright‑room or native 4K home‑theater replacement.
