Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G Intel Core i5 - 13.3 Inch 2-in-1 Touchscreen Laptop - Silver (UK Version)

Product Information

In conclusion, the Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha has a good design, and it is lightweight. Not only that, the laptop has a good display that offers good image quality. The Samsung lasts around 13.5 hours when streaming video off YouTube, or 11.5 when used for light work with the screen brightness maxed out - a setting you might want to use outdoors. The Flex 2 would probably last even longer if it had an AMD Ryzen processor, based on our experience of reviewing other such laptops, but the display is clearly efficient. If you don’t care about 5G and aren’t fussed by the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G’s S-Pen, this laptop probably isn’t the best option for your money. The HP Spectre X360 gets you better core tech per pound, and if you don’t need a hybrid then the Lenovo Yoga 7 Slim is a great buy. There’s no obvious sacrifice to build quality, either. The keyboard is fairly rigid, and while its surround displays the almost plastic-like character of magnesium, it wasn’t noticeable until I took the time to analyse what Samsung had used here.

Memory size: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the phones features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed. Hence, I have decided to rate the Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha an eight out of ten in this memory review section. Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha Storage Options and Performance Review There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format. With this weight and dimension, this laptop is ultra-slim and lightweight. Hence, this Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha can be taken on a long journey in a handbag without stress.After thorough consideration, I will offer the Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha a rating of eight out of ten in this processor review section. Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha Memory (RAM) Performance Review To ensure your device can keep working at your pace, Galaxy Book Flex2 5G fuels its dynamic performance with a high capacity 69.7Wh battery, which offers reliable battery life for a worry-free laptop experience. 8GB of LPDDR4x memory means you can keep creating, notetaking and streaming all day, without slowing down.

Moving on, the laptop’s lid gives a smooth and sturdy feel when you run your palm over it. Also, you will notice a ”SAMSUNG” insignia written on the left side of the lid. Draw the pen out and a menu pops up, filled with shortcuts to Samsung’s preinstalled Notes and Pen UP drawing apps. You can add further shortcuts, should you want to use a proper design or art app. The S-Pen uses Wacom tech (like almost every competitor) to offer 4096 pressure levels, and its nib has a textured surface. This feels much better than hard plastic on the screen’s glass top layer. Performance – Good in general, but the fans like to spin Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers. The Flex 2 works well as a portable laptop. Its battery lasts a long time and its weight is below 1.3kg. The Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha comes with a 54 Wh battery. The manufacturer (Samsung) claims that the laptop can last up to 18 hours and 5 minutes.Actual available memory for end user usage may vary due to pre-configuration. The pre-configuration includes preloaded operating system and applications. In comparison,the ASUS ExpertBook B3 Flipperformed significantly less than this laptop, scoring only 2494 points. That’s not all; the Dell Latitude 13 7320also performed less than the Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha, recording 4020 points on the 3DMark test. Thus, with this processor, the Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha will handle basically most computing tasks effectively. Having said that, let us talk about the result of this laptop in a Cinebench R15 benchmark test to further verify its performance. You might long for a 4K display in the Flex 2, but it would likely have a major affect on battery life.

In case you don’t know, PCMark 10 involves a comprehensive set of tests that measures a computer’s memory performance by simulating various productivity workloads. Moreover, in this benchmark test, the laptop that has the highest score will be regarded as the best performer. The keyboard here is shallow; it took several days for me to move from “I don’t like this at all” to “maybe I could live with this keyboard”.

Moreover, the HP Spectre x360 – 13-AE086TUalso weighs more, with a weight of 1260 g. Also, this HP laptop measures 306.8 x 194.5 x 17 mm (W x D x H). At this point, you might be interested to know whether there is anything about this laptop that makes it stand out among similar laptops. To find out, let us proceed to the remaining parts of this review. Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha Design, Display, Ports, and Connectivity Review The Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha comes with an LPDDR4X memory. Furthermore, the laptop has one memory slot and features a standard memory of 16 GB. Battery life is also a highlight here. In our movie test, where we play a video at 1080p on loop until the laptop runs out of juice, the Galaxy Book Flex beats out the Dell XPS 13, coming in at 9 hours and 47 minutes – and that's with a bigger display and everything. And with a PCMark 10 battery score of 10 hours and 43 minutes, this is definitely a device you can work on all day – if you can cope with the loose hinge and tiny Right Shift key, of course.

speeds vary and require optimal network and connection (factors include frequency, bandwidth, congestion); see carrier for availability. Although these hinges are strong enough to prevent wobbling, they still allow the lid to open easily with just one hand. Also, because this is a 2-in-1 laptop, the hinges allow a 360-degree rotation of the lid. You may also ask questions or make comments regarding this review at Itechguides Community.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. For example, for a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte=74.505GB. In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery may reside in a hidden area of the HDD. Memory capacity representation: The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory. This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use. For example, for 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less.
