Samsung’s latest Freestyle portable projector is brighter and smarter

Samsung has upgraded its Freestyle portable projector for 2026. The company announced a new model, the Freestyle+, ahead of CES, touting twice the brightness of its predecessor at 430 ISO lumens and AI-powered screen optimization features. As with past Freestyles, the Freestyle+ offers 180-degree rotation and 360-degree sound. This one also supports Q-Symphony so will work with some Samsung soundbars. Samsung hasn’t revealed much else in terms of specs or pricing, but it will be showing off the Freestyle+ at CES 2026, so we’ll likely learn more soon.

While previous iterations of Samsung’s compact projector offered automatic screen adjustment features, like autofocus and auto-leveling, the Freestyle+ uses AI to take optimization even further. With AI OptiScreen, as the company calls it, the projector offers automatic 3D distortion correction to correct distortion on uneven or non-flat surfaces, real-time focusing when the projector is moved, automatic screen adjustment for compatible accessories, and wall calibration to reduce visual distractions from the projection surface. It will also support Samsung’s Vision AI Companion.

The company has yet to announce a specific release date for the new projector, but says it is targeting the first half of the year. It will be released in stages globally.
