It also includes a 1.650 mAh internal rechargeable battery that allows 2 hours autonomy under normal conditions. As for brightness, this is 20 lumens, nothing remarkable but adequate.
As far as connectivity is concerned, it is necessary to have the cable that converts the USB port of the Samsung Galaxy terminals into HDMI And, apart from the possibility of playing content with the projector itself, it also has an HDMI output if necessary. A nice touch: it includes a indicator light to know the status of the device (including its battery charge).

What does a mobile projector bring to your Galaxy?
A portable projector allows you to transform your mobile into a Entertaiment center or work: impromptu presentations, family movie sessions, or viewing educational content.

While the basic accessory described here offers modest resolution, it's adequate for casual use and is easy to transport.
Connectivity and configuration with Galaxy phones
This type of projectors for Galaxy mobiles work by MHL or HDMI output using adapters. On older models, MHL converts microUSB to HDMI. On newer models, a USB-C to HDMI adapter (Alt Mode) provides stable video with no noticeable latency compared to wireless. Make sure to use quality cables and enable video output in settings if your phone requires it.
In addition to projecting the mobile screen, many users connect laptops via HDMI or use USB-C hubs to connect multiple devices and use the projector as a second display. If your projector offers an additional HDMI output, you can daisy-chain devices or send the video to a different display whenever needed.
Official alternative: Samsung The Freestyle for the Galaxy ecosystem
If you are looking for a superior experience, Samsung sells The Freestyle, a compact projector with a cylindrical design and a rotating base that allows the image to be oriented between wide angles with great comfort. Specialized media have highlighted its finish and versatility, as well as how easy it is to integrate it into the decor and move the projection angle.
Among its technical keys are: Full HD resolution (1.920 x 1.080), LED light source with up to 20.000h, projection between 30 and 100 inches, focus and keystone correction automatic, and Smart TV platform with Tizen.

Regarding brightness, various analyses place the performance from figures around 230 ANSI lumens to higher values ​​in certain measurements and modes, sufficient to rooms with controlled lightThe integrated 360W 5° speaker is surprisingly well-balanced for its size, eliminating the need for external speakers in many scenarios.
As a mobility bonus, The Freestyle can be fueled with 50W/20V USB‑PD batteries or larger, ideal for campers, patios, or traveling. Its low weight and rotating base make it easy to place on shelves, tables, or even project onto the ceiling.
Curious precedent: Galaxy Beam with integrated projector
Samsung long ago explored the concept of smartphone with projector integrated with the Galaxy Beam family. That idea demonstrated the potential of the pico projector Pocket-sized for instant content sharing. Today, more efficient external offerings in terms of battery life, brightness, and connectivity are taking up that spirit with better results and greater compatibility.

Range and distance: do you need a short throw?
If your living room is small but you want a large diagonal, values ​​projectors of very short range (ultra short throw), capable of achieving large screens at a short distance from the wall. For mobile and occasional use, traditional portable projectors work very well; for fixed rooms and small spaces, short throw may be more practical.
Regardless of the model, remember to control the ambient light, use clear surfaces or specific screens and, if possible, complement with an external speaker when searching. maximum immersion budget.
The combination of a portable projector for Galaxy and alternatives like The Freestyle offers a versatile combination for leisure and work: easy to install, with simple connection options and mobility extras that fit into everyday life.
