Samsung Galaxy Beam announced, smartphone meets projector
So, imagine having a 50-inch display that fits inside your pocket. Sounds like an idea belonging to the realm of sci-fi movies, right? Well, the new Samsung Galaxy Beam Android smartphone makes that possible with its built-in projector. With a brightness output of 15 lumens (as compared to the 6 lumens delivered by its predecessor), it should be able to display high definition images up to 50 inches wide.
However, just because it is basically a smartphone and a projector fused together, doesn’t mean that the Samsung Galaxy Beam is unbearably bulky. It is 12.5 millimeters thick, which is still within the acceptable range for a modern smartphone. If you are curious about its hardware specs, the Galaxy Beam has a 4.0-inch WVGA display and a 1.0GHz dual-core processor. The 5-megapixel auto-focus camera on its back can capture 720p video at 30 frames per second, and the 1.3-megapixel camera is ideal for video chats. There are 8 gigs of on-board storage expandable via microSD cards, and a 2000 mAh battery ensures that you don’t run out of juice while projecting last night’s photos on the wall of your living room.
