Samsung is trying its hand at eliminating the pico projector– which you’ve undoubtedly been lugging around to every family gathering– with the Samsung Galaxy Beam. This striking new smartphone trades in the silver accents for a sharp yellow band that surrounds the 4.0-inch display. At the top of the phone is the light for the projector which will project an image up to 50 inches wide anywhere you choose. Unfortunately, that 4.0-inch display is the closest you’ll come to finding a 4.0 on the Beam as it’s powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The projector’s brightness is rated at 15 lumens and to help facilitate sharing, there’s a dedicated projector app included. Samsung says that in addition to instantly sharing pictures and videos with friends, family or colleagues, the Beam may also be used for gaming as co-players can watch each other’s progress on the big screen.
