Design: minimalist magic
The Elfin is beautifully small and, well, just beautiful full stop. A black and white minimalist square slab with no protrusions and tastefully curved corners, it weighs in at under a kilo and measures less than 20cm on its longest edge. It’s compact enough to stick in a drawer, as we said earlier, but you can also b**g it in your backpack and take it to a friend’s house with zero fuss.
Unlike the Samsung Freestyle, it can’t run off an optional battery pack, so you will have to plug it into a power socket, but the cable supplied is generously long. Other than that, its wireless connectivity, integrated speakers and smart TV features mean it doesn’t necessarily need any further wires shoved into it; there are HDMI and USB inputs though, plus a 3.5mm headphone output if you’d rather your sound came from cans or bigger, beefier speakers.
