Samsung proved it could live stolen seriously as a laptop manufacturer with the release of the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book In favor 360 earlier this twelvemonth. We plant both laptops dazzling, particularly the latter, which we awarded with 4 impermissible of 5 stars in our Samsung Beetleweed Pro 360 critical review.

Given how symptomless-received Samsung's latest laptops were — not to mention the amount of money and energy the company invested in shipping ultraportables in 2021 — it's no surprise that the Korean maker is poised to release successors to those laptops in 2022 in a bid to make our superior laptop computer list.

That's what we're hearing this week good manners of SamMobile, which claims to have obtained exclusive information about the coming Galax Book Pro serial publication laptops. According to the site, Samsung will release the Galax urceolata Book 2 Pro and the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 in the first quarter of 2022.

The company plans to continue exploitation OLED screens for these next-generation Windows laptops, and though the site didn't get information about the machines' specifications, IT believes the laptops will use Intel's 12th generation Alder tree Lake or AMD's Zen 4-based Ryzen 6000 serial publication processors. We think this is a reasonable appraisal, as is the expectation of improved graphics performance in higher-end configurations and better battery life.

Both laptops should stimulate the same tight integration with Samsung's tablets and phones seen in the current models. And that's a huge deal.

As we said earlier this class, Samsung's Galaxy Book Pro is poised to shake up laptops — including MacBooks because of how the company tightly integrates its laptops with its Galaxy smartphones, and Android devices in general. Having the option to connect your laptop to your Android smartphone to run phone apps on your background, take calls and easy access your photos, messages and notifications is a swell and utilitarian feature. We see no reason the newborn Samsung models wouldn't also come with this functionality.

We're also felicitous just about the claim that Samsung will keep the OLED screens from the current Galaxy Book Pro models. As we said in our Galaxy Book Pro 360 limited review, the video display's colors look vibrant and nongranular inside information stand outer while watching videos and movies on the device. We're unsure if the rising laptops will have 4K displays (the current coevals of laptops do not), but the rising slope would be wanted — especially along higher-end configurations. 4K OLED screens would go a long way in portion Samsung build a bigger presence in the U.S. laptop market.

The rumored release date — former during the first three months of 2022 —seems somewhat far-fetched. Though it might exist tempting to think we'll get an official announcement during CES 2022 in January, we haven't heard any industry chatter about these laptops until now. That's other, given that specs and else inside information about hardware coming in a calendar month's time would be leaking by now.

We don't want to whole rule out a Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro announcement next month — simply we South Korean won't wager on it either.
