Samsung have also announced the new GALAXY Beam smartphone at MWC 2012, which enables users to share photos, videos and other media by beaming the content onto any surface.
GALAXY Beam lets users spontaneously share photos, videos or other digital media with family or friends by beaming content stored on the device directly onto walls, ceilings or improvised flat surfaces, so that everyone can share the fun without the need to huddle around smartphone or pad-sized screens. GALAXY Beam’s ultra-bright 15 lumens projector allows users to freely share life’s memorable moments instantly and in crisp clarity, even in outdoor environments.
Video clips, maps, business information, games – a whole range of multimedia content can be beamed instantly by GALAXY Beam on a crisp, high-definition projection up to 50’’ wide. The device features a projector-dedicated application which makes it easy to select content and activate projection in a few simple steps.
What is a little strange though is that the Beam will be running Android 2.3 and not Android 4.0, which is a surprise.
No specifics on a release date or price yet, but watch this space.
