[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] On the 28th (Korean time), Samsung Electronics held the 'Samsung Galaxy MWC Event 2022' online and unveiled the new laptop 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series.

The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series consists of two models: the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro 360' which supports the 'S Pen' and the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' which supports 5G mobile communication. It features powerful performance and portability by integrating Galaxy DNA into a PC. Reflecting the rapidly changing learning and work culture, it offers flexibility and various functions. The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series will be released globally in April with 15.6-inch and 13.3-inch display models. The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' comes in Graphite and Silver, while the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro 360' is available in Burgundy, Graphite, and Silver. Pre-orders in Korea will begin on March 18.

Kim Hak-sang, Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics MX Division NC (New Computing) Development Team, said, "The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series seamlessly integrates with the Galaxy ecosystem and redefines PCs by expanding efficiency and possibilities in future work environments."

Enhanced Security and Portability

The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series is the first consumer laptop to meet Microsoft's enterprise security solution standard 'Secured-Core PC,' providing strong personal information protection. This reflects the increasing trend of users studying or working in remote or hybrid environments.

The 'Secured-Core PC' standard strengthens security at hardware, software, and firmware levels to prepare against potential cyberattacks. Previously, it was used in industries requiring high security such as finance, healthcare, and government. The 'Secured-Core PC' solution hardware-separates memory and key components to safely protect data from attacks on the laptop operating system or unauthorized access, and supports advanced security technologies against firmware attacks.

It also offers strong portability and connectivity. It supports fast and secure 5th generation (5G) mobile communication and Wi-Fi 6E, which significantly reduces latency compared to existing Wi-Fi.

The product features a top-class ultra-slim and ultra-light design. Except for models with discrete graphics cards, all 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series models are under 11mm thick, and notably, the 13.3-inch 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' model is only 11.2mm thick and weighs just 870g. It is equipped with a battery that can last up to 21 hours on a single charge. A 65W fast charger with a USB-C universal charger is provided, compatible with all Galaxy devices.

Maximized Laptop Usability and Convenience

The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series is equipped with the latest Intel 12th generation Core processors. Intel and Samsung Electronics continue close collaboration to provide hardware and software optimized performance for the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series. It features a 1080p FHD camera with a wider viewing angle of up to 87 degrees compared to the previous model.

The 'Studio Mode,' which creates the best video call environment regardless of lighting or background, has also evolved. It supports 'Auto Framing,' allowing the user to always remain centered on the screen even when moving.

The audio experience has also advanced. It supports two-way AI noise cancelling that removes background noise for both the user and the call counterpart, enabling every word to be heard clearly. Additionally, it is equipped with a smart amplifier with up to 5W output and AKG and Dolby Atmos surround sound technology.

Once registered through the Samsung Account Manager, users can access content and apps from Galaxy devices such as Samsung Gallery and Samsung Notes on the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series without entering usernames and passwords for each app. Galaxy Buds can also be connected instantly with a single click.

Through 'Galaxy Book Smart Switch,' photos, data, and laptop settings stored on existing Windows-based laptops can be quickly transferred. When connected to a Galaxy smartphone via 'Your Phone,' users can check recently used apps on the smartphone from the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series. It also supports 'Private Share' for the first time, which securely shares content based on blockchain technology. It adds features to set content viewing periods and restrict content viewing or capturing. The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series also acts as a smart home hub through integration with SmartThings.

Use of Recycled Fishing Net Materials

The 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series is designed to minimize environmental impact and motivate Galaxy users to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle. Samsung Electronics applied recycled fishing net materials, previously used in the strategic smartphones 'Galaxy S22' and 'Galaxy Tab S8' series, to the touchpad holder and bracket interior of the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series.

Expanding the use of recycled fishing net materials to various Galaxy devices is an important journey toward realizing the eco-friendly vision for the Galaxy ecosystem, 'Galaxy for the Planet.' Additionally, the 'Galaxy Book2 Pro' series features a new algorithm that extends battery life and reduces standby power to decrease the need for battery replacement, and it is equipped with an AMOLED display certified with UL's eco-friendly product certification 'Greenguard Gold.' The product packaging is also made from sustainable paper materials.
