Samsung Galaxy Beam: Specs
Allowing users to share images, video and digital content in more widespread, group environments, the Beam's projector party piece has not added too much additional bulk to the portable device with a 12.5mm thick form factor seeing the latest Galaxy branded handset line-up at a just 145.3g in weight.
On the standard smartphone front the Beam sports Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS with a 1GHz dual-core processor landing alongside a 4-inch 800 x 480p WVGA TFT touchscreen display and 8GB of internal storage expandable up to 32GB via microSD card.
Bolstering the Beam's projector entertainment features, the new 4-inch handset plays host to a 5-megapixel rear-mounted camera with integrated flash and video recording capabilities as well as a second, 1.3-megapixel snapper on the front of the device.
