Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Book 4 series tomorrow, and we’ve seen several leaks in the last few weeks. Now, it looks appreciate a Korean outlet has jumped the gun and fully announced the new laptops.
Korean website Enews Today posted and then pulled its Galaxy Book 4 series announcement article. The internet never forgets, of course, and the article is still accessible via Google’s web cache.
We’ve got three models on offer here, namely the Galaxy Book 4 Pro, Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360, and the top-end Galaxy Book 4 Ultra.
The new laptops are equipped with Intel Core Ultra CPUs, featuring integrated NPUs for the first time. You can also expect Intel Arc graphics, although the Galaxy Book 4 Ultra sports dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 or 4070 graphics. The laptops also feature a physically separated Knox security chip.
These Galaxy Book 4 laptops also offer 3K AMOLED touchscreens across the board, featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and anti-reflection coatings. The 360 and Ultra models are only available with a 16-inch screen while the Pro model can be found in 14-inch and 16-inch variants.
Samsung says it’s also offering a few new software features that take advantage of cross-device integration. This includes the ability to continue working on a video that you were editing on your phone or tablet, Photo Remaster functionality to exchange old, low-quality photos with higher-quality versions, and Auto Switch to automatically connect your phone to your Galaxy Buds 2 Pro while you work.
