Hong Kong – February 9, 2021 - Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited today announced the brand new Galaxy Book series, including the Galaxy Book Flex2 5G, the Galaxy Book Flex2 and the Galaxy Book Ion2. The Galaxy Book Flex2 5G is Samsung’s first 5G notebook in Hong Kong, enabling hyperfast network connection to work, life and other fields. The new Galaxy Book series inherits the flagship QLED display and stylish design of the Galaxy Book series. Its light weight and high portability bring users a more flexible mobile experience. 

“Amid the new normal, the boundary between life and work is ever-changing. Consumers are expecting an all-round mobile device that can support work as well as entertainment. Samsung understands what consumers need. We have been committed to innovating mobile technology, improving design concepts, and bringing new additions to the unique Galaxy Book series. We are proud to introduce our first 5G notebook in Hong Kong, the Galaxy Book Flex2 5G, hoping to help users stay connected anytime, anywhere with the hyperfast network,” said Ms. Yiyin Zhao, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited. 

Galaxy Book Flex2 5G and Galaxy Book Flex2: Hyperfast Connectivity, Excellent Visuals and Utmost Performance

The brand-new Galaxy Book Flex2 5G eliminates all network restrictions. Even if users are outdoors, they can easily connect via 5G anytime, anywhere, to enjoy a smooth work experience and greatly increase productivity. With the help of the hyperfast 5G network, users are able to live stream, download large files or share high-definition videos[1]

Equipped with QLED display with touch screen capabilities, the Galaxy Book Flex2 is available in 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch, bringing a colorful and vivid viewing experience. Certified for color accuracy by the world-renowned VDE, an institution based in Germany, the QLED screen delivers 100% color volume. In order to offer the best visual experience in different environments, the peak brightness of the Galaxy Book Flex2 can reach up to 600nits, so that users can watch movies, surf the web and work on documents in any bright environment without losing clarity. The 13.3-inch Galaxy Book Flex2 adopts a nearly bezel-less design, achieving a high screen-to-body ratio over 80%, so that users are ensured with an immersive viewing experience. 

For the first time ever, Samsung introduces a 13MP camera to its laptop line, bringing a phone-like photography experience, and allowing users to capture beautiful scenes or take videos. The device also features an impressive 720p front-facing camera, so that users will show up bright and clear on video calls with family and video meetings with co-workers. On the photos taken by the HD cameras, users can use the built-in S Pen to write or draw and unleash more creativity. The new S Pen allows users to control the computer with simple gestures. Various functions can be remotely controlled, like playing and pausing, controlling the volume and more. Users can further customize the gestures to work freely in their own way. 

By using Voice Note with S Pen, users can record audio while jotting down notes and highlights, so that they can have a better understanding of the key points through the combination of recordings and notes at a later time. The Galaxy Book Flex2 5G features convenient Samsung Notes[2], and is able to sync with other Galaxy devices[3]. Users can always jot down ideas on smartphone or tablets, as well as open and continue on the notebook, enjoying the large screen. 

The Galaxy Book Flex2 boots 11th generation Intel®Core™ processor to provide powerful computing capability and help users largely increase productivity. The Galaxy Book Flex2 meets the requirements of the Intel® Evo™ platform for advanced computing and specifications, enabling exceptional responsiveness, more efficient battery life and instant wake. The built-in high-speed 4th generation NVMe SSD ensures smooth reading and writing with enhanced performance up to 86%. Users can transfer files, launch apps and save files much faster. 

Galaxy Book Flex2 can work for over 19 hours on a full charge, offering a reliably long performance period. Even if it runs out of battery, users can use the laptop for 8 hours on a 30-min charge, enjoying an uninterrupted working experience. The touchpad supports Wireless PoweShare, making it easy to charge Qi certified devices and compatible wearables[4]

Galaxy Book Ion2: Portable Lightweight, HD Display and Powerful Performance

The Galaxy Book Ion2 comes with a full metal body and slim bezels, which is light and portable. The 13.3-inch model measures just 12.9mm and weights 970g, making it one of the slimmest devices in its class. The Galaxy Book Ion2 is built for on-the-go professionals who need an unparalleled mobile work experience. 

The 15.6-inch Galaxy Book Ion2 features up to 87% screen-to-body ratio. The QLED display offers vivid and accurate colors. Coupled with the 5.2mm slim bezel, it brings a perfect visual experience. The ratio of the 13.3-inch model reaches 85%, allowing a wide screen. 

The Galaxy Book Ion2 supports fast charging. Users can use the laptop for nearly 3 hours on a 10-min charge, and over 8 hours on a 30-min charge. It can recover quickly even when the battery is running out. The touchpad supports Wireless PowerShare, so that users can charge Qi certified devices and compatible wearables[5] with it while watching videos. 

One UI 3.1 Brings Streamlined Experiences

Samsung launched the latest One UI 3.1 software update, bringing 4 new features for the Galaxy Tab S7 series.

1. Take advantage of the new Wireless Keyboard Sharing feature[6], with which users can connect the Book Cover Keyboard to their smartphone[7] as well as the tablet device and effortlessly switch between the two[8].

2. Users can harness the Second screen feature to connect the Galaxy Tab S7 series with a Windows laptop[9] to easily extend their screen space, as well as to increase productivity and work more efficiently. The Extend mode lets users work across two different apps on each screen, while the Duplicated mode lets users share the apps or documents they have open on the tablet directly to the laptop screen and instantly edit and save any changes.

3. With the support of One UI 3.1, users can continue browsing the recently accessed page from their smartphone on the tablet[10]. They can also easily copy text or images on the smartphone and instantly paste the content onto the Tab S7 series – and vice versa. 

4. In addition, users can use their Galaxy Buds Pro more easily across devices[11]. For example, when watching YouTube videos on the Galaxy S7 or S7+ while a phone call comes in, the Galaxy Buds Pro will automatically be connected to the smartphone. Tap the Buds once or press “Answer” on the phone to pick up the call.

Samsung also introduced a new color, Mystic Navy, to the flagship Galaxy Tab S7 series, which will be available from February 18.
