At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Samsung introduced the Freestyle+, the first true sequel to its original Freestyle projector. The new model boasts a revamped design and innovative AI-driven features, including the ability to project perfectly aligned images on uneven surfaces and corners. Despite these impressive advancements, there seems to be a notable omission that could impact its appeal: the lack of mention of new accessories or compatibility with existing ones. The original Freestyle’s success was partly due to its unique add-ons, like a battery attachment for portability and a socket adapter for versatile placement. These accessories were not only practical but also redefined projector use. However, during the CES presentation, Samsung only showcased the projector and a basic screen accessory, with no hints of additional extras in their recent press release. While it’s possible that new accessories could be announced later, the absence of details raises questions about whether Samsung underestimated the importance of these add-ons in enhancing the Freestyle’s versatility. The Freestyle+ is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2026, leaving room for further announcements.
Did Samsung overlook the original Freestyle’s appeal with the new Freestyle+?
