The Samsung Galaxy Beam in 2024? Let’s Explore! 

F

random comment award. i either strike terror or joy into the smartphone time capsules 😆

My man give me your plug's contact, I want to smoke the same shit you did

Well some old brand new phones got dead batteries, so they already kicked the bucket 😂.

​​@@erno4.20you cant smoke yourself onto his plane of existence, you have to truly believe man

Galaxy Beam 2 actually exists! We need a 3rd gen for sure though.

It would be great for business people, especially for working on the go

Where do I sign?

Unihertz (8849) Tank 2 has a way better projector - yeah, it's a lot bigger than the Galaxy Beam, but other than that it's better in every other aspect.

@@StormChild yeah, probably. The Beam is quite old now.

don't forget IR blasters and FM radios. Back when you could identify a phone just by the front

The IR blasters were a nightmare in schools tho haha@@cauwama

​@@cauwamaIR blasters exist on every xiaomi phone i believe

Word now everyone fallowing iPhone stupidity

Dont forget chargers!

you guys were winning. Love to hear it

We Used To Watch Porn In Hostel With This Phn😂

Last year I got a 512gb sd card for around 20 bucks. Imagine modern day storage with projector capabilities!

ahhhh that makes sense. Thanks!

By the way the phone status is today it will be practically impossible because the phone is so thin now they would have to make it huge like this phone

You cannot edit the entire Android version with buildprop. Just the name texts. And this phone wasn't rooted.

@@johnzoid74 I ment impossible

Nice

No it wasn't clearly. Since no modern phone has this. Lmao

@@deltaechomusicnh555 then it is way too far ahead of its time

@GRiiZZ Way ahead of its time means something a company did that wasn't the norm back then, but is the norm now. Tell what modern phone has a buit in projector today? If all modern phones had projectors today then sure you could say that phone was ahead of its time...

I can see this becoming standard one day imagine 8k projector 120 fps the size of a normal phone camera. Gotta dream!

​@@deltaechomusicnh555modern phone are lame and boring phone back in the days was more creative

Well it's been clear for a while samsung is just trying to be the apple of the android world.

@@TylerMBuller12 ...while claiming to be different

Yep it kind of makes me sick tbh. They will bash apple then a year later do the exact same stuff they bash apple for.@@HairyNjqqa

The same shit Happened to Sony.

That's because Samsung saw how stupid buyers are. "There's no way people are stupid enough to buy a phone with no removable battery," then the iPhone did it and Samsung thought there's no reason to care. "There's no way people are so stupid that they'll spend money on a phone with no headphones jack and then spend another hundred dollars on Apple earbuds," and people sure did so Samsung copied. I don't blame Samsung for taking advantage of dumb buyers if it's what they want. They keep removing stuff and charging a premium and people keep buying.

Did you not see the Motorola z phone, with its mods. You could get a projector, gaming pad, optical zoom camera and also batteries. Shame it never took off was a decent phone.

​@@Supraboyes it took off for luke 2 iterations, should have lasted wayyyy longer though, moto z and the mods were wayy better than the dumb foldables we have now, I'd love if samsung made a s series with attachable mods.

Look up the tank 2.

You can literally plug one in via USB-C

Nah, that's not fair. My zfold 5 is by far the best phone I've ever used. The screen is finally big enough for the pen to be really really useful. It's my tiny portable photoshop tablet (you can use it as a windows display with full PEN support with pressure and it works amazingly well as a photoshop tablet on the go) and I have taken dozens and dozens of hours of handwritten notes on the screen that are automatically synced to all my galaxy devices AND OneNote for safe keeping and backup. It's a goddamn productivity powerhouse. Using Dex I even replaced my desktop at work with it for over a month and used it for photo editing, video editing, shooting said videos, a webcam for someone else's computer, graphic design, and more at my actual job. Fuck you and everyone else who disses foldables. This is the first goddamn time a fucking phone has ever actually been USEFUL. @@afrolintin

Yeah I could say I'm pretty interested, now to see to get some sort of RU-vid on it or streaming app...

hey I’ll for sure do entire lineup of old Galaxy lineup including S3 ❤ stay tuned

​@@johnzoid74please do a vid on the entire. Note line and what you liked about each one? You are brilliant and will configure to us. Fans! Rock on bro!

Imagine the phone screen then displays the controller, and the projector is on the side of the phone (or rotatable?) and the game then shows in large on the wall

We have this already... Samsung freestyle projector with batterypack. U can cloudgame on the go or use ps remote play

With a gimbal that stabilizes the landscape mode gaming motion and vibrations when handheld

Steam Deck/Switch 2.0

They have now glasses with a full hd screen in both lens that project a big screen in front of your face

😂

So many memories of sleepless nights flashed before my eyes.

Oh my Pkcell

Power On: Aux Mode😂

@@eyvindhaugstad3085 oooh yeah thats where you want your aux in... RIGHT NEXT TO THE POWER

That is cool

I use a s23 daily and still have my "old" s21, if you havent messed with samsung dex its pretty cool, ive been using it on my s21 with a usbc dock to use instead of my desktop for media consumption, its had no problem playing 4k video on a 1440p display although i had to install 3rd party apps to display higher than 1080p

There are a ton of small portable battery powered projectors that would work.

From what I remember it is just 800x480. But it does look pretty nice. The most amazing part is that it is bright enough from such a small projection device. No projector is great during the day. But this image looks very good in lower light.

For playing GD in front of the class lmao

​@@abc-oo8ceif i were that crazy i would absolutely do that

​@@abc-oo8cewhat's gd?

​@@abc-oo8ceu can just connect with a controller to play on big screen... If it was a new phone 😅

@@AchiragChiraggmaybe geometry dash?

Hi, how does one just work on a custom ROM by themselves and how could i get started on it? Just a curious layman here.

If you could get android 5 on it with drivers for the projector that would be extremely sick

@@nullmind I got Android 5 to boot as well, feels fresh on this phone. Getting projector to work on this phone wasn't actually hard, it just worked. I needed to write an app to control it though

@@kral3046 The best way to start would be building a custom ROM from source for a phone that already has custom ROM support. Then you can start to experiment. In my case i took device trees from Galaxy S Advance and adjusted them to work on Beam. There are many resources on the internet

@@nionicjahow? Then upload the rom somewhere

Such a cool idea for something as portable as a phone I remember wanting one of these when I was younger

this is good to know.. dang that sucks sorry to hear. I thought it was the glass! good to know it’s the projector.. several have commented similar. Dangit

@@johnzoid74 if you bouthg it from Aliexpress, is there any kind of warranty?

Shut your mouth

What is this clown🤡🤡 yapping about

I can tell that the foldable phones are dead after nearly two years, or have screen issues even before.

There are some new-ish Chinese phones that still have the IR blaster. The one off the top of my head is the Redmi Note 11 Pro.

Haha yeah boi 😉

° ͟ʖ ͡°)

Under rated comment

Glad you like them!

haha that’s so cool. I would have died 😂

so close.. so close 😎 you guys are nuts ! Much love ❤️

Good to know! I’m consodering this as a retro emulation device with PS3 controller now.

And not even youtube from the browser. But you can upgrade it to android 4.something

From websites. Write the game and the android version

hey you totally can connect a controller! From comments you’d need to make minor changes to the Bluetooth settings of the controller which can be done by connecting to a newer smartphone I believe. Also there are newer versions of this phone (Beam 2). Hope that helps

@@johnzoid74 it does! Thanks for the reviews man.

Is there any way to fix it?

It’s an easy fix on rear projection DLP TVs. In regards to this phone it’s probably toast.

Yes, i saw on projectors that is basically change a crystal chip but in this case as it has more than 12 years an exchange can cost more than the residual value of the phone @@nukfauxsho

look up the Unihertz Tank 2

lol I totally missed it 😂
