Our Verdict
Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-W01
Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen
The Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-W01 and the Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen are quite different, as the Samsung is a small and light portable projector, while the Epson, while not huge by any means, is not as portable. The Samsung also has more smart features than the Epson, which is pretty barebones in that regard. However, if you don't need smart features, go for the Epson, as it's much better due to its vastly superior brightness levels.
