Samsung Electronics has announced the release of The Freestyle, an all-new portable screen and entertainment device, ahead of CES 2022. Customers who want to take video and audio material with them wherever they go will appreciate the Freestyle’s first-of-its-kind technology and versatility in delivering ideal viewing and entertaining.

“Project Freestyle is a one-of-a-kind projector designed for extreme adaptability and flexibility to match the changing lifestyles of consumers,” said Simon Sung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Sales & Marketing Team of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business. “Without the constraints of space and form factor, The Freestyle is a fun and adaptable product that users may use in any way they choose.”

Industry-leading technology enables the Freestyle to have complete auto keystone and auto levelling functions. The capabilities allow the gadget to automatically adapt its screen to any surface at any angle, ensuring that the display is always precisely proportioned. The Freestyle can also display a crystal-clear picture on any surface, at any angle, up to 100 inches away, thanks to the auto focus feature.

The Freestyle may be powered by external batteries1 that support USB-PD and 50W/20V output or higher, allowing users to carry it with them wherever they go, whether on the go, camping, or otherwise. Apart from compatibility with the typical wall plug option, the Freestyle is a pioneer in that it is the first portable screen that works when attached to a regular E262 light socket without the need for special wiring.

The Freestyle’s ambient mode and transparent lens cover provide mood lighting when it’s not being used as a projector to transmit content. The Freestyle is also a smart speaker that analyses music to create visual effects that may be projected on walls, floors, and other surfaces.

With built-in streaming services, mirroring and casting functions compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices, the Freestyle delivers Smart TV functionality featured on Samsung Smart TVs. It’s the only portable projector in the industry to be approved by key OTT partners across the world, ensuring users get the finest video watching experience possible. It’s also the first projector with far-field voice control, allowing users to use the gadget hands-free while utilising their favourite voice assistants.

The Freestyle will be on display from January 5 to 7 at CES 2022, and will be available for pre-order on January 4 in the United States, with availability increasing to other worldwide markets in the coming months.

Samsung Electronics, a global innovator in advanced memory technology, today revealed a comprehensive array of sophisticated automotive memory solutions aimed for next-generation self-driving cars.

“Companies like Samsung continue to invest in Texas because of our world-class business climate and exceptional workforce,”  Governor Abbott said. “Samsung’s new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Taylor will provide endless opportunities for Industrial Central. an important role in our state’s continued exceptionalism in the semiconductor industry. I look forward to expanding our partnership to keep the Lone Star State a leader in cutting-edge technology and a vibrant economic powerhouse. After considering multiple locations within the potential manufacturing site, the decision to invest in Taylor was based on several factors, including the local semiconductor ecosystem, infrastructure stability, local government support, and business opportunities. commentary development. In particular, the proximity to Samsung’s current production site in Austin, about 25 kilometres southwest of Taylor, allows the two sites to share the necessary infrastructure and resources.

There’s a sharper, cleaner fold this time, and there’s less gap between the folds. The 1.4R curvature of the Samsung Flex OLED delivers a sharper curvature, allowing for more compact and accurate smartphone designs. The staggering construction of the display layers reduces bending stress, allowing for such a narrow curvature. Real glass’ outstanding transparency and toughness, yet flexible.

Even with heavy use 100 times a day, UTG withstands more than five years of constant use. This is equivalent to withstanding over 200,000 folds and consistently performing well, according to tests verified by Bureau Veritas. The excellent transparency and hardness of real glass, but bendable. Even with heavy use 100 times a day, UTG withstands more than five years of constant use. Equivalent to withstanding over 200,000 folds and still performing well, according to verified  Bureau Veritas testing.

The company has created a beautiful new website to showcase all possible form factors with its flexible OLED panels. The company calls its flexible displays “Flex OLED” and there are five subcategories: Flex Bar, Flex Note, Flex Square, Rollable Flex and Slidable Flex. Flex Bar is intended for foldable shell smartphones such as the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Flex Note displays are intended for laptops with foldable displays. Flex Square is for foldable smartphones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 3.
