Samsung has officially unveiled an updated version of the Galaxy Beam, a smartphone with its own built-in pico projector. The device shows off unique features, particularly with its ability to project pictures, video, and other media onto walls, ceilings or any other flat surface through a 15 lumens projector that Samsung says can display images up to 50-inches wide.
First appearance of this innovation was actually at Mobile World Congress in 2010. But the, device was only slated to make an appearance in Singapore. Latest development on the device now, however brings an updated version with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and likely an availability that would extend from Singapore into a few additional countries.
The 2010 version of the Beam came running Android v2.1, had a 3.7-inch screen, and a 9 lumens projector. The updated 2012 version shown off at Mobile World Congress 2011 comes running Android v2.3, has a 4-inch screen, and comes rocking a much more powerful 15 lumens projector.
The projector is the stand-out feature of the phone. The phone has a 5-megapixel built-in camera, and has a 1GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of internal memory, and a 2000mAh battery.
