The Galaxy Book 2 launched last year as a 2-in-1 Windows 10 (Windows 10 S out of the box) laptop powered by a Snapdragon processor. It appears a successor is coming this year and it will launch as the Galaxy Book S.
The name was confirmed in a leak by Evan Blass yesterday but the device was already in the news before then. It turns out that a device with the name “Galaxy Space” was seen on Geekbench recently. It is believed that the “S” in the name Galaxy Book S stands for Space.
The benchmark result showed the device runs Windows 10 and has 8GB of RAM. There is also an octa-core processor clocked at 2.84GHz.
Apart from the Geekbench sighting, the device was also spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website but this time as the Galaxy Book S. It has Bluetooth 5.0 and its model number is revealed to be SM-W767.
The Galaxy Book S is believed to have a 2-in-1 design like the Galaxy Book 2. It should have a touch display (Super AMOLED), a detachable keyboard, and also an S Pen. It should also have an LTE modem.
There is no info on its release date yet but seeing as it has already received Bluetooth certification, a launch date may be around the corner. However, Samsung may begin selling it at a much later date.
