Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 15 (2021)

Samsung Galaxy Book Pro redefines the PC for users who prioritize mobility, bringing next-generation connectivity, an ultra-portable design, and enhanced performance.

April 28, 2021 – Samsung Electronics introduced the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro product line, a new generation of computing devices that combines powerful performance with the mobility of the Samsung Galaxy smartphone line. With an enhanced Galaxy ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro works seamlessly with your other Galaxy devices and IoT devices, making your workflow and entertainment across devices smoother—and making life easier. As a key element for the Galaxy Book Pro line, Samsung has seized the opportunity to collaborate with major industry partners Intel and Microsoft to build a new approach to mobile computing, where smartphones and PCs work together perfectly across operating systems without ever sacrificing performance for portability.

Inspired by mobile design, built for modern life

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro is designed based on the needs and habits of users who prioritize modern mobile devices, designed to help your daily experience become simpler, smoother, and more intuitive than ever. These are Samsung’s most mobile Galaxy Books to date, with the Galaxy Book Pro 15-inch weighing only 1.15kg and measuring just 13.3mm thin. This compact design allows users to easily slip it into a backpack or handbag. Additionally, the device’s durability has been improved despite its smaller size, utilizing military-standard 6000-series aluminum³, the same alloy trusted by the world’s advanced aerospace manufacturers².

Additionally, the Galaxy Book Pro line features Wi-Fi 6E⁶, so you will be able to enjoy more bandwidth and faster 6GHz internet connectivity at home or in the office.

Battery life is crucial for highly mobile devices, so both the Galaxy Book Pro 13-inch and Galaxy Book Pro 15-inch are designed to help you operate all day long. With long-lasting battery life, you won’t have to worry about pausing your work to find a power outlet. But if you need a quick charge, the Galaxy Book Pro line supports 65W fast charging, so you can quickly power up your device with a USB Type-C adapter.

Immersive entertainment experience with Super AMOLED display

Equipped with advanced hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro line is built to take your entertainment to a new level. These are Samsung’s first Windows PCs to feature a Super AMOLED⁷ display, meaning this advanced technology is now available across the entire mobile device category—from smartwatches and smartphones to tablets and PCs. The SGS-certified Eye-Care screen⁸ emits less blue light compared to standard LCD screens to help your eyes remain comfortable during long periods of entertainment after work. Smart Color Tool will automatically fine-tune your color space depending on the tasks being used⁹. Movies and games will become vivid and powerful with DCI-P3 or AMOLED Native color configurations; and for tasks like photo editing, where you want your photos to look real, the Galaxy Book Pro line will automatically optimize colors.

All that stunning content is supported by crisp audio from AKG speakers. By enabling Dolby Atmos, you can immerse yourself in an even more vivid and realistic audio experience.

Do more without interruption with high-performance hardware

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro line is equipped with next-generation hardware, including 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and Intel® Iris® Xe graphics. The Galaxy Book Pro line is compatible with the Intel® Evo™ platform, demonstrating an industry-leading balance of power, vivid graphics, seamless connectivity, and long battery life.¹⁰ Smart Performance Manager is also cleverly integrated to suit the machine’s position, environment, and system load. By automatically adjusting fan noise, temperature, and battery usage levels, it balances performance and power consumption to provide a smooth experience throughout the day, so you can say goodbye to lag and multitask with ease.

Additionally, the device integrates performance-enhancing features to make daily work more efficient and enjoyable. The Keyboard Pro features an improved scissor mechanism that increases speed and comfort with wide, rubber-coated keys to provide a wonderful 1mm key travel that is almost silent. The keyboard also comes with a touchpad that is 23% larger, providing more space for scrolling through websites or pinching to zoom in on details. The Quick Search software can quickly search for documents by keyword, so you spend less time searching through your folders.

With Studio Mode, you can adjust your video call environment the way you want without worrying about settings. Combined with the Smart Noise Cancellation feature, it helps eliminate ambient noise so you can enjoy clear sight and sound. With the Screen Recorder and Samsung Studio Plus features, you can also create gaming tutorials by recording the screen along with your voice and easily adjusting the video using editing tools.

The Hub of Your Mobile Ecosystem

Thanks to the Galaxy ecosystem and the close collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft, you can do more and save more time.

Panos Panay, Chief Product Officer at Microsoft, stated: “We are excited to take the next step in our partnership with Samsung. This Windows-based computing product is built on Samsung’s strengths in highly mobile and connected devices and solutions. Together, we are integrating Windows even more deeply into the Galaxy ecosystem to create a simple, seamless, and sharp experience. We are proud of this partnership aimed at helping customers stay connected, do more, create more, and explore entirely new possibilities with Samsung and Microsoft.”

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro line works easily with your other Galaxy devices to increase productivity and efficiency. Second Screen allows you to extend your screen onto a Galaxy Tab for easier multitasking and enhanced productivity with Mirroring and Extending modes. With the integration of Link to Windows and Microsoft Phone Link, stay active by receiving calls, checking notifications, accessing photos and messages, and running up to 5 apps from your smartphone directly on your screen—all at once. You can also organize all your photos from every device in one place. Capture slow-motion or record once from content on your Galaxy Smartphone and view it on the larger screen of the Galaxy Book Pro or Galaxy Book Pro 360. Content will appear on your Galaxy Book Pro line in the same format as your Galaxy smartphone, including special effects.

Galaxy devices are now more connected within the ecosystem. Easy Bluetooth Connection¹⁸ instantly connects Galaxy Buds to your Galaxy Book Pro line so you don’t have to switch Bluetooth settings between devices. With Galaxy Book Smart Switch¹⁹, quickly transfer photos, movies, files, apps, and even your favorite settings from your existing Windows PC to the Galaxy Book Pro line so you can get back to creating and connecting faster. Quick Share²⁰ for the Galaxy Book Pro line allows you to share content between your Galaxy devices or with classmates and colleagues in just a few clicks. It offers near-instant transfer when you drag and drop multiple files and content between Galaxy Book and your Galaxy smartphone. Additionally, with Samsung Notes automatic synchronization²¹ between Galaxy devices, you can jot down an idea and view it on any other device whenever inspiration strikes.

The Galaxy Book Pro line also serves as a smart management hub for your home when integrated with SmartThings. With the SmartThings app integrated into PCs for the first time in the Galaxy Book Pro line, tasks such as turning off lights, changing temperature, or even starting kitchen appliances²² can be done even while you are sitting in your chair. With SmartThings Find, users can quickly locate their Galaxy smartphone, tablet, or Bluetooth-connected wearable and never fear losing a device again. With the complete integration of the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, the Galaxy Book Pro line is now the final link between your devices, comprehensively connecting your digital world.
