The Samsung Galaxy Beam falls in a  category that focus  more in niche audience,as it includes a built-in Pico projector. All told, the phone faces a lofty challenge: while the projector could be useful for the PowerPoint crowd, the phone itself  falls on the lower end of mid-range, and isn’t powerful enough to do business users much good otherwise. With a 1GHz dual-core Nova Thor CPU, an overly outdated OS, a 2010-era display and a middling 5-megapixel camera.
