Samsung’s contribution to the compact projector scene is a worthy one. Unveiled at CES, the Samsung Freestyle not only provide you with a decent display up to 100in in size, but it also works as a smart speaker and ambient lighting device.

It weighs in at 830g and has a versatile cradle that allows the device to rotate up to 180 degrees, turning walls, tables and even ceilings into a screen. The Freestyle also includes full auto keystone and auto levelling features, so the picture dynamically adjusts to whatever surface and angle you need. Hook it up to a compatible external battery pack and you can take the projector out with you.

It’s not the cheapest of devices though, you’ll have to drop almost €1,000 to get hold of one of these.
