Samsung Galaxy Beam (I8520)

Projector in a phone

FIRST, we had built-in projectors in cameras. Now, they’re in smartphones.

One of the first Android phones to have this ability is the Samsung Galaxy  Beam (I8520).

Showcased as part of a range of new Samsung smartphones at this year’s CommunicAsia, the Galaxy Beam can project images and videos of up to 50 inches. At the demonstration, the sample video looked smooth and sharp on the projected screen.

The Galaxy Beam is powered by an 800MHz processor and sports a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen — making it brighter, less reflective and less powerhungry than older AMOLED technologies. It features an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with flash, and can record highdefinition videos at 720p. The device runs
on Android 2.1 and has 16GB of storage.

The Samsung Galaxy Beam will be available here from next month.
