The Samsung Galaxy Beam - A Projection Of The Future?

Has Samsung released the next big trend in mobile technology or is this projector phone a one hit wonder? The verdict is still out on that, but in the meantime we can most certainly take a look at some of the pros and cons of this device, giving you the information to decide for yourself.

As one of the newest members of the Samsung family, you can bet for certain that whether you love this phone or hate it, the quality will be high. Below we are going to take a look at some of the key components of this mid-level smart phone.

Features and Specifications of Samsung Galaxy Beam

Hardware

If you are thinking that this seems like a slightly modified version of the Galaxy S Advance, you are kind of right. Although lacking any visual similarities, the specifications of these two products are quite similar. When comparing these two Samsung smartphones, you will notice that they both run on a NovaThor CPU, and have the same amount of storage, coming in at around 8 gigabytes. On a more visual level, you will also notice a common display screen and camera with the Galaxy S.

Software

The Android operating system has been around for a few years now and has enjoyed continual updating. When compared with its initial system, the current version is fantastic. The Samsung Galaxy Beam has opted to run version 2.3 of the Android OS for some reason. Although this is a good operating system, it is outdated. It is reported however that updates to the OS will be available and hopefully will allow this phone to catch up with other systems.

Appearance

If you are looking for a very visually pleasing phone, this may not be for you. Aside from the bright yellow stripe that comes standard on this phone, you will notice that there are very few other features that are noteworthy.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, but for the mid-level smart phone market, this device has shown up underdressed. I also felt as if the projector does a good job of throwing off the balance of the phone. Aside from the lack of dazzle, the initial impression of the phone shouts quality construction, which has come to be expected from any Samsung Product.

A Ray of Light

Well actually it is a beam of light that makes this phone quite special. There is no doubt that this phone comes up short in the hardware and software departments. The projector built into this phone is a Pico Projector and was influential in the naming of this device. Now let’s get to the best part. The projector on this phone is capable of projecting an image of up to 50 inches diagonally. It should be noted that lighting must be reduced for a quality image.

When taking the flaws of this phone into account, it is quite reasonable to see why people may shy away from this device. However, if you are looking for a neat phone that could come in handy for a quick presentation, or to stream movies, then this might be worth taking a closer look at.
