Samsung revealed the The Freestyle+, a new version of its multifunctional portable projector, with 430 ISO lumens, which represents almost double the brightness of the previous generation. The announcement took place in early January 2026, just a few days before CES 2026, at Las Vegas. The model maintains the characteristic rotating cylindrical design, with 180-degree rotation and 360-degree integrated speaker, but incorporates significant advances in artificial intelligence technology to facilitate use in different environments.
The launch highlights the company’s commitment to offering flexible entertainment without the need for external equipment.

AI OptiScreen technology improves adaptation to the environment
The main new feature is the AI OptiScreen technology, which uses artificial intelligence for advanced automatic adjustments. The system performs 3D trapezoidal correction on irregular surfaces, maintains focus in real time even during movements and calibrates the image according to the color and texture of the wall or ceiling. Esses features minimize visual distortions and ensure clarity in different projection conditions.
Autofit includes the Screen Fit feature, which resizes the image to fit accessory compatible screens. Wall calibration analyzes patterns and colors to reduce distractions and improve visual quality. Tudo this allows the user to simply position the device and start watching content with minimal configuration.
Improved brightness and expanded audio support
With 430 ISO lumens, the The Freestyle+ overcomes limitations of previous versions, which used less standardized measurements and presented lower brightness in moderately lit environments. The adoption of the ISO standard facilitates accurate comparisons in the marketplace, where manufacturers have prioritized consistent measurements to better reflect actual performance in ambient light.
The projector keeps the audio immersive with a 360-degree speaker. Agora includes Q-Symphony support, allowing you to sync with compatible Samsung soundbars for more immersive, balanced sound. Essa integration expands configuration options in larger rooms or spaces.
Portable design and ecosystem integration
