The Samsung Galaxy Beam turned out to be a curious proposition during the Mobile World Congress 2012. It was shown as a smartphone with upper-middle-range features that, although it showed a thicker design than usual, counterbalanced that feature with an interesting feature: the presence of a small integrated projector. It is not one of the most popular equipment of the firm, but the experiment is attractive for a very particular type of user, making it easier for the phone to serve as a comfortable portable platform with which to broadcast content stored on its memory card or in its internal storage fund.
This terminal had, despite everything, a notable delay in the firm's update roadmap. And it is that it was maintained with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a system that although at the time was very complete and attractive, it has become outdated, since at the moment there are company equipment that can already be updated with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. With a view to building loyalty among the users who acquired this Samsung Galaxy Beam, as well as with the intention of giving a new boost to the device, the South Korean firm printed speed on the calendar of system improvements, so that there would already be started updating. Or at least, almost.
We say this because the Samsung Galaxy Beam has begun to carry out the latest tests that culminate in the notification that gives the possibility of updating the Google platform to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which would have officially skipped the presence of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This version is the one that was released as the first hybrid platform for Android tablets and mobiles, incorporating aspects of the 3.0 Honeycomb edition and adapting them to the general conditions of what we know in phones. At the moment there is no date for the start of the deployment of updates from the Samsung Galaxy Beam to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, although as we have learned from Unwired View, the South Korean company would already be carrying out the tests prior to the launch of said version of the system.
Recall that the Samsung Galaxy Beam has a four - inch screen with resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. As we say, it is the integrated pico projector that is most striking in this phone, and indeed, what capitalizes on the attention of its technical frame. Thanks to this small cannon, we could project videos with a frame of up to 50 inches without loss of sharpness. However, it is necessary to have a room that is dark enough, since it has a light emission cap of fifteen lumens. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Beam includes a five megapixel camera capable of capturing high definition video in the 720p standard.. The onboard memory is eight GB, expandable with up to an additional 32 GB if we choose to install the corresponding microSD card.
