Samsung is making waves at CES 2026, showcasing innovations in both portable projection and massive-scale displays. The tech giant unveiled the Freestyle+ projector, a significant upgrade to its predecessor, alongside a stunning 130-inch Micro RGB TV, signaling a continued push for cutting-edge display technology. While one offers enhanced portability and adaptability, the other aims to redefine the home theater experience, albeit as a concept for now.
Freestyle+ Projector: Brighter, Smarter, More Adaptable
The Freestyle+ aims to address a key criticism of the original Freestyle: brightness. According to Engadget, the new model boasts 430 ISO lumens, nearly double the 230 ISO lumens of the 2022 version. This is a welcome improvement, especially given the standardization ISO lumens provides for brightness claims across manufacturers. The projector retains its signature 160-degree rotation, but now includes Q-Symphony support for seamless integration with Samsung soundbars. It also incorporates Vision AI, allowing users to control settings via Bixby voice commands, accessible through the remote.
Beyond brightness, the Freestyle+ showcases impressive adaptability. Samsung's AI OptiScreen technology enables keystone correction and focus, calibrating projections for various wall surfaces and colors. Engadget's Mat Smith was particularly impressed by the 3D Auto Keystone feature, which corrects distortion even on uneven surfaces. This allows the projector to be pointed at unconventional areas, like corners or curtains, and still produce a flattened, watchable image. Other features, like Screen Fit (automatic image adjustment to screen size) and Wall Calibration (color tone recalibration), further enhance the viewing experience.
Micro RGB TV: A Glimpse into the Future of Display Technology
While the Freestyle+ represents an iterative improvement, Samsung's 130-inch Micro RGB TV is a bolder statement. As Devindra Hardawar from Engadget notes, the sheer size of the display, suspended by a
