A few hours ago, Intel announced its 11th Gen Tiger Laker chipsets. Followed by that, partner OEMs also unveiled their laptops with the newly introduced processors. One of those new notebooks is Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 5G whose branding was trademarked by the company last month, followed by a video ad leak earlier this week.

Unlike the original Galaxy Book Flex, the new 5G model does not seem to feature QLED display. In the press release, Samsung merely mentions it to sport a 13.3-inch FHD (1920 x 108 pixels) touch screen panel. Anyway, it still comes with a built-in S Pen stylus like the Galaxy Notes.

It is powered by 11th Gen Intel Core i5/i7 processor paired with up to 16GB LPDDR4x RAM and 512GB NVMe SSD. Whereas, the graphics are taken care of by the brand-new Intel Iris Xe GPU. As for software, it comes in both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro versions.

Interestingly, it houses two cameras, one 720p unit on the top bezel of the display for video calls and another 13MP sensor above the backlit keyboard. The latter can be used to take pictures of the surroundings when the notebook is used in tablet mode.

On the connectivity front, it supports WiFi 6, 4G LTE, sub-6GHz 5G, and Bluetooth 5.0. As for ports, it includes 1 x Thunderbolt 4, 1 x USB, Type-C, 1 x USB 30, 1 x HDMI, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, and SIM card slot.

Other features include a fingerprint sensor, 2 x 5W AKG speakers, and a 69.7Whr battery. Last but not least, it measures 304.9 x 202.3 x 13.9~14.9mm in dimensions, weighs 1.26kg in weight, and is only available in a single Royal Silver color option.

Samsung is yet to reveal the pricing and availability of Galaxy Book Flex 5G.

Last year, Samsung introduced Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion as the world’s first laptops with QLED display. This year, the company is expected to launch a 5G variant of the former as the company filed a trademark for the same early this month. Now, this notebook’s video ad leaks giving us the first glimpse of its design and certain features.

The leaked video advertisement of Galaxy Book Flex 5G was shared by user @h0x0d (WalkingCat) on Twitter (via SamMobile). In this particular video, Samsung mocks Apple laptops with a tagline “Leave the old behind”.

Most importantly, the South Korean tech giant confirms four of the primary features of its upcoming notebook. And they are 5G connectivity, S Pen, QLED Display, and Intel chipset.

For those unaware, the last three was already present in the previous generation. So the only new thing the company incorporated this year is support for 5G and probably updated Intel processors.

Samsung is yet to officially announce the launch date for the second-gen Galaxy Book. Anyway, it is expected to debut at the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2020. Before that, the company will be launching the Galaxy Z Fold2 in the next few hours, which is more interesting than the firm’s new laptop.

Samsung just launched the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Tab S7 series, Galaxy Watch 3, and Galaxy Buds Live at Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this week. The company even teased Galaxy Z Fold 2, which is expected to launch sometime later in October. At around the same time, the company may also launch Galaxy Book Flex 5G at SDC (Samsung Developer Conference) 2020.

The original Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion debuted in October 2019 as the world’s first laptops with QLED display. Later, the company announced another model in the series called Galaxy Book 𝛂 (Alpha) at CES 2020.

Now, the South Korea tech giant files a trademark application (via LetsGoDigital) at the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) for the branding “Samsung Book Flex 5G”. This suggests the company may launch an updated 5G variant of Galaxy Book Flex on its first anniversary.

The trademark was filed by a firm going by the name of Abril Abogados on behalf of Samsung. This very same company was responsible for filing trademarks for the Galaxy Ax1 series in July 2019.

Further, though the trademark does not cont include the word “Galaxy”, the product will be indeed called “Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 5G”. For those unaware, some of the trademarks for Galaxy products have lacked the keyword before so it is not a big deal.

Anyway, it will be not the world’s first 5G laptop as that mantle goes to Lenovo Flex 5G powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx.
