Samsung's Projector Smartphone: Galaxy Beam + [Hands-On Video]

Samsung recently unveiled its latest smartphone at the Mobile World Congress with a twist - an integrated projector which was claimed to be able to project contents up to 50-inch wide and is even bright enough to work in outdoor environments. It allows users to spontaneously share photos, videos or other digital multimedia with family or friends by beaming content stored on the device directly onto walls, ceilings or improvised flat surfaces, enabling users to share content without the need to huddle around smartphones or pad-sized screens.
“GALAXY Beam provides mobile freedom, enabling a unique shared experience around digital content for everyone—anywhere and instantly—from a smartphone as slim and portable as any on the market,” - JK Shin, President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics.
Here's an official hands-on video on how the Samsung Galaxy Beam functions.

DG Smart Plan and my Android Phone

We all know the yellow Digi man. He's pretty much a stalker isn't he? Follows you everywhere, appearing on your television and the radio every once in a while...and has even became synonymous with Digi itself. But that's a good thing. It's witty personality and its smart nature aptly defines what Digi is all about - smart, and bright.

Digi very well understands what we as consumers want and tries its best to adhere to our demands - affordable prices, stable, high-speed broadband, a strong customer service experience, and of course, to offer the latest smartphones at the cheapest rate.

Recently, Google unveiled its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update while Samsung Galaxy Nexus was the first, and up till now the only phone to be integrated with it. If you ask me, this update is extremely important for Android smartphones as the last I remembered was the mere 2.3 something Gingerbread - which is totally outdated among its rivals.

I've been considering this phone for quite some time and I found Digi's plan pretty decent.The usual retail price should be around RM2,099 and with Digi, I would get RM100 off. It would only cost me 15 sens per minute for a call, which is comparably lower than most telco services.


Data Usage
Also, it is less risky if I accidentally reached the maximum monthly quota as they will be no extra charges whatsoever. I don't really use THAT much of internet anyway but it's always better to be cautious, and I'm pretty sure Digi should be a smarter partner in lowering any extra, unnecessary costs. Talking about data usage, Galaxy Nexus have a feature to allow users to check its data usage, and even setting the maximum data limit! That will definitely come in handy.
