Samsung Galaxy Beam review
OUREVIEW AND DESING
Forget HDMI-ready devices, Samsung has set to travel low-maintenance…got a wall? Got a Samsung Galaxy Beam? Great: project your puppy footage, downloaded episodes and PowerPoint displays at will!
As we have a tendency to seen in our active take a look at, this is not the primary time Samsung has tried foisting a projector phone on AN unsuspecting public: however maybe this can be the primary time it succeeds?
It's not low cost either: £31 a month contract and a £400+ SIM-free worth build it arduous to advocate to the budget brigade... and with these specs we'd expect to possess one thing alittle a lot of wallet-friendly. however it's got a humongous projector stuffed in there, thus let's not be too harsh.
So: right down to the nitty gritty. For a phone packing a fifteen lumens projector, the Samsung Galaxy Beam will a decent job of slimming its hardware into a right light-weight package.
It's a sporty-looking range, because of the yellow and chrome edge and therefore the soft, rubberized battery panel on the rear. It weighs in at 145g; simply 5g over the Apple iPhone 4S and therefore the projector is sleekly moulded into the frame.
At 12.5mm it is a very little chunkier than most sensible phones, except for obvious hardware-related reasons. If you have got smaller digits, the relative girth of the chassis makes it somewhat precarious and therefore the sleek pane makes it feel as if it's close to slip aloof from you once control one-handed.
If it will tho', the Samsung Galaxy Beam may be a little bit of a tricky nut – it came aloof from 2 or 3 accidental drops with no a scratch.
Because of the projector placement, the 5MP camera sits a 3rd of the method down the rear of the phone: makes it somewhat too simple to accidentally cowl with a finger, but ho-hum.
The front of the Galaxy Beam bears solely AN external home button, VGA camera, skinny chromed speaker and touch-screen keys.
The sides of the phone pack all told the extra buttons: power and projector buttons, volume rocker, SIM and small South Dakota slots (up to 32GB further storage), Micro USB, 3.5mm jack and therefore the projector itself, the crowning glory on the highest of the phone.
The external body of the Samsung Galaxy Beam looks to collect to this point against its rival high-cost smartphones (coming in at slightly below £400 SIM free), however what's it packing inside?
Well, that may be automaton two.3 cake, tho' AN frozen dessert Sandwich update is rumoured. It options a bright 4-inch WVGA touchscreen that inside is absolutely bright and vivid in its show, however falters somewhat in daylight.
