A couple of weeks back, Samsung unveiled multiple new laptops at MWC 2022. Some of them have been teased by the company in India for the past few days. Now, the firm has officially revealed when these notebooks will be announced in the country.

Samsung has confirmed to Gadgets360 that it will launch 6 laptops in India on March 17. These notebooks will be available in multiple variants at different price points. The starting price is said to be under ₹40,000.

The South Korean electronics giant will be unveiling the following computers tomorrow in India.

All of them will boot Microsoft Windows 11 out of the box. Further, the Galaxy Book Go will be the only model featuring an ARM chip. It is also the oldest one as it was first announced in June 2021. But unfortunately, it will only arrive in a WiFi-only variant in the country. For the unaware, the computer comes in both 4G and 5G variants in some markets.

Samsung aims to compete with the likes of Xiaomi and realme. The company admits that 2021 and 2021 would have been better for a re-entry. However, it believes 2022 is not too late.

Last week was packed with key announcements, and if you missed them, here’s your chance to get updated with our weekly round-up of the top stories:

Meizu Watch

After months of waiting, the Meizu Watch is here and it packs the guts of a modern smartwatch along with an affordable price tag. The wearable is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100, runs Flyme for Watch, has an eSIM, and costs roughly ~$235.

Samsung’s next-gen Exynos chip will have an AMD RDNA2 GPU

Samsung’s next-gen flagship Exynos chipset is expected to boast some big gains in GPU performance, no thanks to the company’s partnership with AMD. Last week, Samsung revealed the chipset will have a GPU based on AMD’s RDNA2 architecture when it arrives later this year. This is the same architecture the GPUs inside the PS5 and new Xbox Series X/Series S consoles are built on.

Huawei’s new HarmonyOS-powered devices

Huawei has a handful of new products powered by HarmonyOS. The lineup includes the Huwaei Watch 3 series and three new MatePad tablets. There is also a new pair of TWS ANC earbuds – the Freebuds 4 and new monitors. Huawei also gave us an early look at the Huawei P50 series.

Pixel Buds A

The Pixel A series of smartphones is pretty popular, even selling more than the main Pixel line. Now, Google is extending that budget treatment to its earbuds line and it appears it already has a winner. The $99 Pixel Buds A TWS earbuds drop some of the premium features of the Pixel Buds (2) but keep the key ones for a great audio experience.

OnePlus Tag is coming

OnePlus may be making its own smart tracking device based on a recent patent filing. The OnePlus Tag should take on Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s SmartTag when it eventually launches. We can expect it to be cheaper than what the competitor offers when it hits the market.

Samsung’s new Windows 10 on ARM PCs are powered by Qualcomm chips

Samsung announced the Galaxy Book Go last week, and the notebook comes in different configurations with 5G and 4G as well as a Wi-Fi-only version. The new notebook has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx or Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chipset depending on the variant you want to purchase. It runs Windows 10 Home/Pro and offers up to 18 hours of battery life.

Samsung is gearing up for the launch of a new laptop. This notebook is the Galaxy Book Go, which is an affordable laptop that ships with Windows 10 OS that is powered by an ARM processor.

The South Korean tech giant recently announced multiple laptops earlier this week, which includes the Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha that launches in the US and the Galaxy Book Odyssey gaming laptop. Talking about the Galaxy Book Go, the notebook is powered by an 8nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c processor and the ARM version of Windows 10 operating system. The laptop is a thin and light notebook that is fanless.

The Galaxy Book Go sports a 14 inchIPS LCD display that supports 1920 x 1080px resolution. It also ships with LTE support and offers 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage. The display isn’t touch enabled while the company also offers a basic housing to reduce cost. Although, Samsung ensures that the Galaxy Book Go is compliant with the Mil-810G durability standard. In other words, the laptop can withstand a drop of 1.2 meters and is dust tight.

The laptop weighs just 1.39 kilograms and offers two USB Type C ports, a single USB Type A, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and even a SIM card slot. The power efficient ARM based processor is paired with a 42.3Wh battery that should offer robust battery life. The device is expected to launch for 449 Euros (roughly 542 US Dollars) in Germany, while it will be available in a cheaper 349 US Dollars in the US, but this version doesn’t feature LTE support.
