The Samsung i8520—also referred to as the Beam or formerly known as Halo—is a smartphone developed by Samsung that features an integrated projector. Its standout attribute is a built-in DLP WVGA projector capable of displaying images up to 50 inches (1,300 mm) diagonally with a brightness of 15 lumens. Equipped with an 8-megapixel camera, the device allows users to project live images captured by the camera itself, functioning similarly to an overhead projector. This camera also supports HD video recording at a resolution of 720p with a frame rate of 30 fps. Additional features include local Wi-Fi connectivity, e-mail access, web browsing capabilities, and an embedded GPS receiver. The handset was first launched in Singapore on July 17, 2010, through the carrier StarHub.
