the race to squeeze more and more gadgets into our mobile devices is ongoing we're taking a look at a tablet here that has a projector built in it's the acumen holophone so let's begin by talking about that projector unit in the top now you can see it does make the top back part of the tablet here protrude slightly but it's not too bad the tablet remains relatively slim despite the fact there's got a massive great projector crammed in there so you get 35 to 45 lumens of brightness with this thing obviously it's going to work better in a darkened rooms or against certain backdrops and up here you can see there's a dial this controls the focus what I quite like is that's begin projecting all you have to do is press this button on the side here and the projector comes to life in terms of battery life obviously projecting an image it's quite battery intensive I'm told you can expect between 2 to 2.5 hours of projection time as you may have noticed the tablet itself is running Windows 10 it's got a 7-inch display and the company is calling this a phablet because it actually has 4G LTE powers as well it's got an Intel quad core chip inside and it's backed up by 4 gigabytes of RAM now this is going to be pretty expensive you can expect a 650 to 950 dollars depending on the configuration I'm told there will be a discount price offered for schools so this isn't the first time I've seen a projector in a mobile device I remember a few years ago Samsung actually had to go with a phone called the Galaxy Beam it didn't really take off but you know it's a pretty cool idea if you really like the idea of being able to beam a movie onto a wall anywhere you go it might be worth checking out it's gonna be trialed in a few months time before it goes on sale globally in june the name is the acumen holophone for much more tech check out sina TOCOM slash MWC
