Samsung Galaxy Beam: more than interesting

You have to admit it, it’s not every day you see a smartphone with a built-in projector. It is also not that common today. In 2010, Samsung released their first projector smartphone and they called it the Samsung Galaxy Beam. You may not see any of the older Galaxy Beams, but if you look in the right place, you will. Starting in 2012, Samsung released a newer version of this phone and also called it the Galaxy Beam.

It is quite sad that the production of the first Galaxy Beam did not reach the masses. But in Asia it was a different story. But still, if Samsung’s first projector phone could make it to the US and European market, then it will be a different story. With its 3.7 “AMOLED screen and 8MP shutter capable of 720p video recording, it was an excellent phone in 2010.

Moving on, Samsung has decided to give its first projector phone a wider audience through the new Samsung Galaxy Beam. Yes, he missed a great opportunity when he did not appear during the Mobile World Congress 2012, but again here he is now in view. Samsung has decided to be careful this time and who can blame them? The new Beam may be a downgrade from its original version (i.e. AMOLED to LCD, memory halved, camera MP cropped, etc.) but again it comes with improved processing prowess. With its 1 GHz dual-core processor, you can bet it’s a fast phone for sure. Although the new Beam lost a couple of camera resolutions, its new 15 lumens really make up for it. The duplicated RAM is also a welcome addition to the phone. It may not be a total upgrade, but at the same time it is not a total downgrade either.

So what else can you expect from this phone? Well, there’s the phone’s 2,000 mAh battery. There is also the option of Wi-Fi connectivity. You’ll also get the Polaris Office document viewer and editor. The phone runs on Android Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0. This phone now comes with a larger 4 “screen with 16 million colors (480 x 800 pixels). The new dimensions of the phone are 124 x 64.2 x 12.5 mm and it weighs just 145.3 grams.

These are just a few of the things that you will enjoy in the latest Samsung Galaxy Beam. This is Samsung’s newest projector phone and this is beyond interesting.
