CONS

Cinema buffs, Samsung has shrunk the projector. The company’s new Freestyle entertainment solution slips into a container that genuinely looks like a Thermos even though this gadget can screen movies sharply, colourfully and up to 100 inches in size. The unorthodox projector is also easy to operate using a smartphone or the provided remote control, will stream video from services like Netflix and YouTube, and will work as little as 80cm from a wall. Its portability is the biggest game-changer and it makes a compelling argument for taking it to a party, although serious cinemaphiles may need to tinker with its focus and straightening settings before hosting a film night.
