In our review of the original Samsung Freestyle, CNET contributor Geoffrey Morrison loved its design, colors and streaming capabilities, but also said its lack of a built-in battery and its weakness were drawbacks for the price. These areas haven’t been significantly addressed in the second-generation model, but with a 25% discount you can certainly focus more on the pros than the cons, and you may even have the budget left for a decent USB-C battery pack or portable power supply. drive if you want to make it more portable.
It’s also worth noting that the Freestyle can stream games directly from cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That’s a new feature in this latest model and means you can easily play PC or console quality games on a big screen without having to plug in your console – or without owning one at all. All you need is one compatible controllerlike the PDP Replay which is designed with the Freestyle in mind and can be bundled for $50.
