Samsung unveiled four new devices at their Galaxy unpacked event. This event primarily focused on laptops rather than smartphones. They unveiled their brand new 2021 Galaxy Book laptop series – The Galaxy Book, Galaxy Book Pro, Galaxy Book Pro 360, and Galaxy Book Odyssey. The event showcased the new designs and some pretty impressive features. Samsung made a great emphasis on how these laptops shared a similar DNA to smartphones. Features like instant wake, LTE, quick pairing, long-lasting battery life (Up to 20hrs on the Galaxy Book Pro), and seamless continuity, were the selling point of these laptops. Needless to say, these devices are not running on an ARM processor like Apple’s M1. But they seem promising.

Packing an AMOLED display with a resolution of (1920*1080), the 13 inch Galaxy Book Pro comes with an Intel Evo core I5 or I7 with 256GB of storage and maxes out with 8GB of ram.

GALAXY ODYSSEY
When Samsung announced that they will be unveiling their most powerful Galaxy device, this was the device that they were probably referring to.
