Samsung The Freestyle Gen 2 projector launches with new Gaming Hub

The projector that probably looks the most like the Bat-Signal on its market is back with a new version, and as such has the same flexibility in where it can point its thrown image, including at the ceiling if necessary. Samsung has chosen to pitch The Freestyle at gamers in its second generation, with its new dedicated Hub for apps such as Twitch and GeForce NOW.

Samsung asserts that it supports Xbox game streaming without a console in particular on The Freestyle Gen 2, although it should also act as a hub for all of the rest of the user's smart-home apps or functions as well. Alternatively, the second-gen device is touted as the ideal portable projector as well, with set-up made all but automatic with Auto Leveling, Auto Focus and Auto Keystone technology.

Otherwise, The Freestyle Gen 2 is still rated for the same HDR10+, 360 Sound, USB type-C and (unfortunately) micro-HDMI support of its predecessor. It has an MRSP of just over US$1,000 - however, it already has a 21% discount that brings it down to the US$797.99 price of its forebear ready to go on its release to Amazon pre-orders from August 31, 2023.
