Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Book2, the successor to the Galaxy Book introduced in February 2017. This device will rival Microsoft’s Surface Pro, as Samsung opted for a Qualcomm SoC instead of an Intel processor for this release.

Samsung claims that the Galaxy Book2 is a powerful, efficient hybrid device that seamlessly combines the functionality of a smartphone and a PC. Key features include a long-lasting battery, LTE connectivity, a keyboard, and an S Pen stylus.
