Lenovo unveils concept smartphone with laser projector
June 09, 2025
At its TechWorld event in Beijing today, Lenovo has unveiled more than just aconcept smartwatchas the company’s latest smartphone concept is unique and impressive. The company has already releaseda handheld pico projectorand the Smart Cast concept smartphone aims to bring projectors to the main stream as it has the world’s first laser projector in a smartphone, as well as the world’ssmallest pico projector.
Smart Cast comes with a unique rotating projector system – which appears similar to theLenovo Pocket Projector– which allows you to project movies, TV shows or video games onto a wall. The projector can also be used to project keyboard and other controls onto nearby surfaces, allowing you to expand your keyboard rather than rely on a small on-screen keyboard. Lenovo then uses its gesture recognition software to recognise gestures such as clicking and sliding and presumably, this gesture recognition could also be used in other non-projectorLenovoandMotorolasmartphones.

At its keynote, Lenovo showed off the projector with a keyboard demo from Chinese pianist Lang Lang and the demo definitely showed that the technology has a lot of real-world applications. From being used as a piano keyboard to a multi-touch keyboard as a teaching aid and a lot more, the Smart Cast may not be a consumer device but given the company’s past record, we’ll see a consumer release at some point in the future. Maybe in theMoto X 2015?
