Projector phones aren’t that new – even Samsung had their failed releases; but what’s new is that Lenovo may have just struck gold with their beaming device.
Obligatory – Beam me up Scotty!
Now that I have managed to get that Star Trek reference out of my system, let’s talk about the Lenovo smartphone that can beam almost anything!
Smart Cast was just announced at the Lenovo Tech World conference, and the internet has already gone crazy over it – and for good reasons too! It doesn’t feature the DLP technology that pico projectors use, and in its stead it sports an integrated focus-free laser projector – for the first time on a smartphone too.
It has all the features that a normal smartphone would have, so there’s no need to worry that you won’t be able to play that sweet Candy Crush Saga, or Clash of Clans – barf!
The Lenovo Smart Cast can project a virtual keyboard, or a set of piano keys – how about Fruit Ninja?! Yes, sir!
That’s fantastic, but let’s not get too excited. We don’t really know any technical specifications, and we seriously don’t know what it’s going to be priced at. The only info we’ve got comes from this short video. This short and awesome video. I just love it!
I don’t want to get all that pumped up, but how couldn’t I after watching the promo clip?
Let’s get our feet back on the ground. When Samsung released that meh Galaxy Beam 2 it was priced at $560, and it was a complete disappointment – remember me to not trust Samsung ever again. We’re looking at something along that price range. I’ll be more than happy if Lenovo prices it at $600, heck, even at $700, just don’t cut down on performance.
The gesture based control system will let the device’s user
The built-in kick-stand transforms any possible surface into a smart display so get ready for those lazy Sundays!
