SHANGHAI, China — Fancy a portable projector that you can bring anywhere in your pocket? SK Telecoms’ Smart Beam projector may be just the device you are looking for.
Measuring 4.5cm (1.77 inches), the wide, cube-shaped beamer fit nicely in my palm. Weighing just 126g (4.4 ounces), it’s as light as most mobile phones. The Smart Beam supports the MHL connectivity interface, and you can use any smartphone that supports this standard to connect to the pico projector.
Other key specifications include a battery life of 120 minutes, VGA native resolution, and 35 lumens of brightness via the DLP DMD projection system. While SK Telecom claims it’s the brightest for its size, I’d add that you may still have to use this in a darkened room.
Retailing at around $300, the Smart Beam is already available in South Korea and will be heading to China.
There is a Micro-USB port for charging and a focusing dial.
