The idea of having a projector built into a mobile phone has been around for a long time, although few have dared ventured into this arena. Remember the Pomegranate concept phone that made rounds of the internet sporting a projector unit? Or the rumored Mozilla device with the same capabilities? In reality, Samsung was one manufacturer back in 2012 that ventured with a smartphone carrying a projector with its Galaxy Beam Android smartphone, and while that showed that it can be done, it didn’t go much beyond that. Today, Samsung announced the successor to this unique device, in the form of Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 Android phone.
The device has been launched on China Mobile’s 3G network, and seems restricted to that very region, at least for now. Under the hood, the specs are pretty entry level for these days’ standards, with a 1.2GHz quad core processor, 1GB of onboard RAM and a 4.66-inch TFT display panel with an unimpressive resolution of 800×480 pixels. The device is powered by a meager 2,600mAh battery unit, which, considering the onboard projector, is of hardly any use. All of this is running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
