Samsung Introduces The Galaxy Smart Phone Which Doubles Up As A Projector

Back in 2010 Samsung launched the original Samsung Galaxy Beam i8520. The phone ran Android 2.1 which was a bit outdated at the time as Android 2.2 launched just a few months prior. It was powered by a 720MHz OMAP 3440 processor paired with 384MB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX 530 GPU driving a 3.7” WVGA Super AMOLED display.

Next to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S smartphones the Galaxy Beam seemed comparatively weak. However, the device appealed to a certain group of users with its built in pico projector which could project images up to 50” in size at WVGA resolution.

The Samsung Galaxy Beam2 carries the model number SM-G3858 and improves the specs on its predecessor, while staying in the mid-range segment. The device will sport a 4.7-inch WVGA display and will be powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor along with 1 GB of RAM.
The key feature of the Samsung Galaxy Beam2 still remains its built-in pico projector with WVGA resolution. It supports background color corrections and comes with a few dedicated applications such as Notepad.
The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean-powered Galaxy Beam2 features a 5 megapixel rear camera, microSD card slot and a wide range of connectivity options that include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS/GLONASS. The smartphone measures 134.5 x 70 x 11.7 mm and weighs about 166 grams.
Samsung Galaxy Beam2 will be available on China Mobile and it’s yet to be seen if Samsung launches it globally.
