New Delhi: when you want to share videos or photos with friends, the screen of your smartphone is too small.
That's why installing a pico projector in your phone has been tried many times and has achieved varying degrees of success.
The problem is that doing so greatly increases the volume and significantly reduces the battery life.
Also, all projector phones available so far are equipped with phones
Not based on a smartphone operating system. The LED-
So far, projection-based systems are more of a gimmick than a feature available.
However, the Galaxy bundles are different.
This is the first smartphone in India to have a built-in projector.
At the beginning, we thought the beam was a great attempt to make things simple, attractive and make it the perfect use of the dayto-day phone.
The quality of the projection is impressive and this is just a icing on the cake.
From the side, you can't see the projector inside.
The projector lens is located at the top of the phone and is covered by a glass panel (
But no lens cover).
It has a total brightness of 15 lumens and a resolution of 640x360 pixels.
The numbers don't seem to be impressive, but you need to think about it, we're talking about a phone that weighs only 145 grams and only 12 grams. 5mm thick.
Under appropriate conditions (
White surface with low ambient lighting and flat)
Mobile phone can project up to 50-inchs in size (diagonal size).
Interestingly, the projector can also double as a flashlight --
A perfect rectangular beam and the color of your choice.
To start the projector, you need to press the dedicated button on the side of your phone.
It starts almost immediately and you can adjust various settings from focus and direction (
Landscape or portrait).
There is a good bedside table in the box and it can also be used as a charger for extra batteries.
When it is used as a mobile phone, the battery life is about a day or two.
Just running it as a projector, you should have about three and a half hours of use.
Our two main complaints about the beam are that it does not have a stand, tripod or any type of stand for the projector.
You have to come up with a way to support it to get the ideal height and angle shown on the wall.
Secondly, when you use the speaker as a projector, it is too weak to be of any use.
To use it with multimedia, you are bound to need some kind of external powered speaker system (
Cable or blue speakers are OK).
This can be attributed-
You don't get the best specs as a phone
But it's the best projector phone.
If you like to separate things, you can get a stand-alone projector like MP180 for 3 m (29,990)
It can project videos or photos from memory or micro SD cards and separate Android smartphones.
