Metal-made Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 SM-G3858 gets official in China

Because the projector will beam exactly what's on the phone screen, it's resolution is limiting the screen's resolution to WVGA. A 720p projector at this moment doesn't make sense from a size, heat, power and cost standpoint, I however wouldn't mind a 7" tab with a higher res beam.

I want this phone long time ago since the first generation Galaxy Beam was announced (Gingerbread) and now Galaxy Beam 2 was announced the second time around, I will surely look for a way to have this great phone. Good job Samsung!

Good luck getting a timely update. It even comes with Android 4.2 out of the box.

It won't matter if the phone perform as you expect it to. Getting aroused at features that you COULD have IF they updated the phone is quite pointless. Make an extension of this concept to life and I could be on a garden on the shores of the mediterranean eating grapes and being pampered by a dozen of nymphs, but I'm on friggin Phone Arena rattling about phones.

Its a crappy phone that samsung experiments with until in 5-6 years this technology becomes so portable that it will add it on a flagship phone. Few thousands of clueless sheeps will buy it and samsung will laugh over them.

People buying Galaxy Beams aren't idiots. It's an amazing phone. Please go see a Galaxy Beam, then speak.

Note: Why am I getting blocked when saying sh eeps? It says be polite or else youll get banned from the forum? What kind of thing is this?

Wait....experimenting with mid range and low end phones and perfecting the ideas for flagships in 5-6 years is a bad thing? Sometimes trial and error is the only way to perfect something. You can test something within the company in a closed environment for as long as you want but you won't notice some problems until you release it to the public. Just ask your lover Apple about Apple maps and IOS 7 in general.

I knew Apple fans were retarded but this is a new high. If a company is willing to test something, let alone for 5-6 years and include the perfected version in their flagship at a later date down the line...how is that a bad thing? Lol it's not like any other company would ever do that for the consumer....

Moron....

looks similar to the titanium grey cover on my Galaxy S III really.

I highly doubt that is metal. Samsung is famous for its metal imitations :/

Yes, because metal is bad for a phone, it gets scratched easily and is heavier. If you want a metal phone go get an iphone since you know nothing or search for bankrupt companies (i wonder why) like the glorious htc.

Yes I agree on you, metal build quality is bad for a phone and Samsung knows that really well that's why they're not producing a metal phone because of its weakness. Yes metal phone is a good looking, feels great to hold but the downside is that the phone becames weak, and prone to damage when falls off (especially internal parts). Samsung knows best when it comes to build quality!

I'm not saying plastic is bad, but this is just false advertising!

I use a microHDMI cable still... but the point with this is that you do not need anything else other than a light flat wall and a dark enviroment... for people in sales, por people camping, as a baby toy to distract them with projections... etc

I like this idea... but I like my current phone a bit more... specially since the current Beam does not offer MHL capabilities...
