Samsung Phone Comes with 50" Video Projector

Samsung has announced plans to launch its first mobile phone with a built-in projector, which can beam an image up to 50" wide onto any surface. The Samsung projector phones utilize the Texas Instruments, DLP Pico Chipset to remove the limitations of the traditional mobile phone screen by easily providing "big picture" viewing experiences.

W...T...F? o_0?

Unless they have have developed a nuclear cell battery to go with their new projector phone so it can actually stay turned on for like one minute with the projector on thanks Samsung but NO THANKS!!

[GVON]

finally,been hearing about these for a good year or two now,I won't get one until there standard,but I just want to see one working.

It would be cool if you could project web pages and have a lazer pen that you point at the image and can scroll zoom and manipulate the image,like in the ironman movie

samsung phones have bad battery. i hope this one has good battery.

I can see this being big with salespeople who have to go to a lot of meetings where they need a projector. Other than that I can't figure out who needs it. Does it have a VGA connector to hook it up to a laptop at least? It's interesting but seems like too limited of a market.

At some point, we're going to have to stop calling them "Phones", because the Phone aspect of the device is becoming a much smaller subset of a much larger group of features. Hell, I barely even use my "phone" to actually "phone" people, I prefer SMS and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[DelbertGrady]

How about "radiators"? With all those features packed in I'm sure this phone will give you a headache in less than 2 minutes of conversation lol!

[Kal1138]

I agree. These are no longer phones. That's just a feature they have.

[Pebz]

This comes to mind.

[xabmol]

I want one, but my wallet won't let me get it. :'(

[thenickel]

This feature could lead to a video call anywhere. I was hoping for a hologram phone one day but the is definitely a step in the right direction.

[paper]

Now that is uber.

[Liamabob]

the resolution is good for a 50" projection.
I'm pretty certain you wouldn't want a 320x240 50" screen.

[nirwanda]

the resolution won't be the problem but the light source to project the image will, there no way you could have a bulb that small and bright enough to get a decent image

Yes it is only HVGA resolution but it used a 3 LED light source so it should last for 100,000 hours.:)

This projector are good for long term light without replace it also use less power but one thing this device do not have 720P or 1080P. it is 480 or 800x600. Too low for video game such as PS3 or Xbox360 but good for Wii or PS2 and old Xbox. I read a lot on this products and other company do make same thing. just a early version so wait for best one.

Like Me mates from Australia say....NOICE!!!

A phone such as this running Windows Mobile 6.1 and above could easily take advantage of this technology. Since you can already create word documents and powerpoint presentations on your phones (I can do them on my Touch Pro), all you would have to do is load up your phone with documents, or create them on your device. Then, instead of bringing your laptop and projector with you, you could easily set up mini-presentations virtually anywhere there is a wall to display the image on.

It's quite a cool concept, and has a lot of potential. It's not so much for gaming, though, as the resolution is smaller than what we are used to.

[AuToFiRE]

and as soon asyou drop it the bulb will break

[The_Kills]

Unless they somehow get ironman's powercell shrunk to a mobile level, this thing wont be lasting very long

[Steveoreno]

Just crazy. I wonder how much this phone will cost. Cause, if cheap enough, we will be walking around the mall with people showing pr0n on the walls for our kids to see. LOL.

[wibble]

You mean kids will be showing pron on the walls for the grownups to see.

[wibble]

cool!

[Premonition]

This video comes to mind when i saw this topic lol, guess this guy was on to something.

[MGRogue2017]

Instant porn. Wherever you are, Wherever you go =)

[rockbottom3076]

It would be perfect for people who travel a lot to not have to worry about the tiny tvs in rooms and paying for movies from hotels. not to mention even bring it on a family vaca that you have to rent a car to drive long distances.
