Despite its announcement’s name and proximity to the Galaxy Z Fold 2, it might be too easy to think of the Galaxy Book Flex 5G as Samsung’s version of a folding laptop. Sure, the convertible laptop folds and flips back, but in the more traditional way that all laptops with 360-degree hinges do. The Galaxy Book Flex 5G is instead Samsung’s first 5G laptop that is designed, according to the company, to be able to adapt and change with users in this rapidly changing new world.
What that means in practice is that the convertible laptop is designed to be mobility friendly, ironically at a time when people are less mobile than before. Part of that comes from 5G connectivity below 6GHz, a rare thing for laptops not yet equipped with LTE modems in general.
And then there’s the Intel EVO branding, the chipmaker’s new marketing label for its 11th Gen Core processors packed with Intel Iris X graphics. In addition to the usual power that processors bring, Intel Evo laptops are certified to be light, battery efficient and fast. In other words, the things you’ll want to hear about a laptop that needs to be carried and used far from wall outlets.
Samsung is also particularly proud to have put a 13 megapixel “world-facing” camera on the Galaxy Book Flex 5G. Along with the built-in S Pen stick, Samsung Notes, and a free Clip Studio Paint trial period, the laptop is ready not only for office work but also for creative work. The front camera, unfortunately, is only a 720p shooter, enough for your Zoom calls.
Along with the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Tab S7, the Galaxy Book Flex 5G pretty much completes Samsung’s line of 5G devices for this year. Now all that remains is for the 5G network deployment to catch up with these new devices.
