Remember Samsung Galaxy Beam? It was one of the first smartphones on the market that included a built-in projector -- a trend that never caught on in the global market.

There seems to be some demand for such a gadget in China, as Samsung just launched the successor to the Beam in that market: the Samsung Galaxy Beam 2.

It's a mid-range, Android 4.2 device, with a 4.66-inch, 800x480 pixel display, a 1.2GHz quad-core CPU and 1GB of RAM. If you need a tiny projector to go, though, it's probably your best bet. The projector, which has a WVGA resolution, is located on top of the device.

The device will be available through China Mobile for a yet-undisclosed price. International availability has not been announced.
