What does the right laptop for college look like? Samsung Newsroom explores the features and capabilities college students should consider when choosing a new computer.

Q: As a college student, what are the top three features to look for when buying a new laptop?

The first and most important factor is to consider how well the laptop can work with all the other devices you already have. Another key consideration is how a touchscreen could increase your productivity. Finally, battery life — how long the battery lasts during a busy day — is also crucial.

Q: What kind of laptop integrates best with your Android phone?

A college laptop should integrate seamlessly with your smartphone and your tablet, serving as the hub of your digital life. It should let you access all your notifications, send and receive text messages, and even run your favorite mobile apps right from your PC. No matter where that photo you need is stored, a well-integrated laptop will be able to find it for you. You should be able to connect to all your mobile devices to help you keep track of your digital materials. With a laptop that is connected to your entire device ecosystem, you’ll finish your thesis in no time.

Q: Do college students really need a touchscreen on their laptop?

Touchscreens are a popular option for some of the latest models, and having one on your laptop can streamline your process when working on your assignments. Using touchscreens feels more natural, since we now interact with them almost every single day, from our smartphones to the self-ordering kiosks at cafés. A touchscreen can save you time when you need to multitask intuitively with what is on your screen — without having to open another window or switch between tools. You can easily highlight the important parts of documents and jot down handwritten notes directly onto PDFs. Additionally, the latest AI tools work efficiently with touchscreen-based interactions, like circling items on the screen to instantly search for information about them.

Q: Can you get a laptop with a battery that lasts all day?

A good laptop battery should last the entire day¹ even without charging. With that capability, when it’s time to hit the library, you shouldn’t have to worry about sitting next to the outlet because your laptop has more energy than you do. And when you end up at a friend’s house for a study session later in the day, your laptop will still be going strong. Even if you reach the point where the battery is almost dead, a simple 30-minute charging session will get it back up to 35%².

Q: Bottom line, what’s one of the best laptops for college students?

The Galaxy Book5 Pro 16” is a great choice for college students. It seamlessly integrates with your other Galaxy devices to help you keep track of all your data and stay organized; the laptop’s expansive touchscreen display helps you multitask faster and work with all your assignments; and the powerful performance of its battery helps it stay active with you from morning until night.

Galaxy Book5 Pro Key Feature – AI Select

Under the laptop’s hood are powerful AI capabilities, based on its own AI Boost neural processing unit
(NPU). This is a new type of processor, different from a CPU or GPU, that is specifically for AI computing. With the power of this NPU, your laptop can understand you on a deeper level, almost like your own  personal assistant.

In addition, Storage Share³ connects your laptop to your Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Introduced with One UI 7, this feature lets your Galaxy smartphone and tablet operate as a wireless USB drive or storage space for your Galaxy Book5 Pro. After authorization, you can effortlessly access files on any of your devices, so you always have your data available to you on your hub — your laptop. Thanks to this, when you record lectures or meetings on your phone, your laptop can transcribe or summarize them.

Galaxy Book5 Pro Key Feature – Storage Share

This all happens on an anti-reflective screen, a crystal-clear AMOLED display featuring Samsung’s
Dynamic AMOLED 2x technology that offers 3K resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It gives you ultra-smooth scrolling and responsiveness, so the only possible thing you might have to wait on is your own thoughts. It also automatically adjusts its brightness and enhances its visibility with tone mapping in a bright environment, so it is clearly visible even if you are studying outside on a sunny day. And since it’s a touchscreen, you can use AI Select⁴ to circle what you want to search for right on the screen.

And all of this is built on the dependable foundation of the Galaxy Book5 Pro’s high-capacity battery, which can last up to 25 hours^1,2. But despite all that battery power, the laptop itself is still thin and light. Thanks to that slim and lightweight design, carrying it around with you to the library, a coffee shop, your friend’s house and then back home is never a burden.

Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. today announced the release of its most intelligent PC lineup yet: the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra, Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 and Galaxy Book4 Pro. The latest Galaxy Book4 Series comes with a new intelligent processor, a more vivid and interactive display, and is secured by Knox — beginning a new era of Samsung AI PCs that can offer enhanced productivity.[1] These AI enhancements also elevate the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem and form part of the company’s vision of AI innovation — for both today and tomorrow.

“Samsung is committed to empowering people to experience new possibilities that enhance their everyday lives. This new paradigm can be achieved through our expansive Galaxy ecosystem and open collaboration with other industry leaders,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “The Galaxy Book4 Series plays a key role in bringing seamless connectivity to our ecosystem that will broaden how people interact with their PC, phone, tablet and other devices for truly intelligent and connected experiences.”

Intelligent Productivity Leveled up by Secure Performance

The Galaxy Book4 Series is equipped with an intelligent processor for powerful performance. The latest Series comes with a new Intel^® Core Ultra 9 processor that combines a faster CPU, a higher-performance GPU and a newly added NPU into a single package[2]. Coupled with Intel’s industry-first AI PC Acceleration program — which includes more than 100 AI applications from independent software vendors, the new processor enables exciting new AI capabilities for users. The NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU[3] takes the user experience to the next level. Creativity is supercharged with fast, generative AI-based creation tools backed by NVIDIA Studio technology that allow you to create stunning images with simple text in seconds with RTX-optimized Stable Diffusion. Galaxy Book4 Ultra users can also immerse themselves in games with NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology that creates higher quality images for over 500 ray-traced popular games and applications.

The Galaxy Book4 Ultra also lowers heat and fan noise with a new cooling system, including an 11 percent wider vapor chamber and a dual fan with an uneven blade spacing design[4]. You can use your device for a longer time on a single charge thanks to increased power efficiency[5]. Galaxy Book4 Ultra users can also quickly top up an additional 55 percent battery life in just 30 minutes[6] using the 140W adaptor[4] that is 1.4 times larger than its predecessor.

Data privacy and security have become increasingly important, that’s why Samsung is building on its legacy of security with Samsung Knox and enhanced security measures at the chipset level for the Galaxy Book Series for the first time. All three models have a new discrete Samsung Knox security chip that secures critical system data separately, adding to existing multi-layered security efforts with Intel and Microsoft.

Stunning Display and Next-level Connectivity to Perform Anytime, Anywhere

The Galaxy Book4 Series upgraded display gives you a clear view, so you can stay productive while on the go. The Series boasts an incredible viewing experience with a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that offers clear contrast and vivid colour. Vision Booster uses an Intelligent Outdoor Algorithm to automatically enhance visibility and colour reproduction in bright conditions, while anti-reflective technology[7] reduces distracting reflections. With a touchscreen now added to all three models, the Galaxy Book4 Series not only delivers a clear viewing experience but is also more interactive — offering a familiar touch-based user interface, similar to the experience on your smartphone or tablet.

Advanced audio is just as important for a well-rounded PC experience with high octaves and rich bass delivered by AKG Quad speakers with Dolby Atmos^® for clear and crisp sound. Dual microphones with bi-directional AI noise canceling capture your voice clearly during video calls, even in noisy outdoor environments. When paired with Galaxy Buds2 Pro, LE Audio[8] — an advanced Bluetooth audio standard — enables realistic sounds with reduced latency to make experiences such as gaming more immersive. Auto Switch[9] allows you to seamlessly connect your Galaxy Buds to multiple devices — from your smartphone, tablet and watch to your TV and now PC — so you can enjoy listening to your devices without manual input. A large touchpad and a wide range of ports — including a new HDMI 2.1 port — are also designed to enhance the usability of the Galaxy Book4 Series. All these features are packed in a slim and light design that opens powerful possibilities on the go.

Together with Galaxy smartphones and tablets, Galaxy Book4 Series users can benefit from even more enhanced productivity and creativity features. Designed to help everyone be a creator, Samsung Studio[10], a new video creation tool available across Samsung Galaxy devices, allows you to continue editing videos made on your phone or tablet in more detail on your PC. Photo Remaster, now available on Samsung Gallery for PC, lets you quickly correct photos and automatically erase unwanted shadows and reflections with AI-enabled optimization. Second Screen[11] allows you to use your tablet as a monitor for your Galaxy Book4 and elevate your productivity with a variety of display modes such as Duplicate, Extension and now Rotation.

Availability[12]

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Series will be progressively made available in select markets including Canada in 2024. The Series comes in a refined and minimal finish with a wider variety of recycled materials, including plastics, glass, and aluminum[13].

Peace of Mind with Samsung Care+

With a Samsung Care+ Plan, Canadians can experience total care service for their new Galaxy Smartphone, Laptop, Tablet or Wearable device. Users will be protected for up to two years against physical or liquid damage and mechanical malfunction or defects, with a team of dedicated Galaxy experts available to help them get back on track[14].

Connected devices boost productivity and convenience but there is always room to push the boundaries of connectivity even further. According to a recent Samsung survey,[1] 77% of people use multiple apps and devices together for a single task but also find it can take a lot of extra effort. With this in mind, Samsung Electronics is always looking for new ways to deliver a connected experience that harmonizes the strengths and capabilities of its smartphones, PCs, tablets, watches and more for a truly seamless multi-device ecosystem.

One of these new connectivity features is Recent Websites[2] – an update for the Microsoft Phone Link[3] App now available across the Galaxy Book series – which allows users to continue browsing sessions on their PCs effortlessly. A great way to hit the ground running when moving from a phone to a Galaxy Book, this feature makes browsing experiences smoother and more mobile, ensuring users never miss a beat in their productivity.

Galaxy Book users can now call up recent sessions from their smartphone with a single click, taking the fuss out of multi-device browsing for responsive, convenient navigation. For instance, let’s say a user wants to research something on their phone and opens multiple tabs. At some point, it might be more efficient to open these same tabs on a bigger screen and start working with PC applications. With Recent Websites, this task is now made easy, allowing users to open new tabs without needing to go back to check search terms or browsing histories.

To use Recent Websites, make sure to link your Galaxy smartphone to Galaxy Book through Link to Windows’ on your phone and the Microsoft Phone Link App on your PC. Then simply open the Microsoft Phone Link App or flyout on your PC, which will display a list of websites you recently opened on your smartphone. Clicking on one of these websites will launch them straight away on your Galaxy Book.

Recent Websites is one of a variety of new and upcoming connectivity features that make the connected experience between Galaxy smartphones and the Galaxy Book series richer and more adaptable. By unlocking incredible possibilities for devices, Samsung is empowering customers to use and combine their devices in more innovative and accessible ways. Stay tuned for the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event to hear more about Samsung’s efforts to push multi-device connectivity for the Galaxy Book series and beyond.

Security That’s All About You

Protecting your data, identity and privacy continues to be a top priority for Samsung, especially with the pivot to hybrid working and learning environments. Now more than ever, consumers are looking for devices designed with security as a priority. The updated Windows 11 operating system on the Galaxy Book2 Series lineup which helps keep data safe with Knox security, has been extended to the Galaxy Book2. Keep your files under your control with a fingerprint scanner that lets you unlock your laptop with a simple tap.

Enjoy even more control over your files with Private Share^[4], a security feature that lets you set time limits on your shared files — the recipient can’t capture or share your file, and you remain in control with the ability to revoke file access at any time; it’s file security simplified.

Easy Continuity for the Connected World

Samsung is all about helping make consumers lives easier and more effortless. Thanks to Galaxy continuity, your Galaxy devices can seamlessly connect to help you do more. The Galaxy Book2 easily syncs with your Samsung Galaxy smartphone^[5] through Link to Windows^[6] , which allows you to call and text right from your laptop. The crossover app continuity allows you to open up your PC and pick up right where you left off on your smartphone by showing recently used apps. Samsung has even updated its Quick Share^[7] feature and merged it with Link Sharing, allowing you to quickly share work with others from anywhere. Even transfer a video call from one Galaxy device to another without missing a moment.

The Galaxy Book Smart Switch^[8] process, helps you move old data, photos, settings and more, from your old PC to your new PC easily. And once transferred, the new Galaxy Book2 experience is also very familiar with the intuitive One Book UI 4.0. Users with other Galaxy devices will feel at home on their new PC with the same UI, apps and menus that they already know and love.

You can also control and monitor IoT devices using your Galaxy Book2 and the SmartThings app. Turn on the lights, set the temperature or check your security cams all from the convenience of the SmartThings Dashboard. With new Bixby^[9] voice control functionality, you can control your IoT devices with the convenience of voice prompts. Plus, if you happen to misplace your Galaxy Book2, you can locate it (even if it is turned off) with SmartThings Find^[10]. With Galaxy continuity, discover more fun ways to connect to what you love.

Galaxy for the Planet

Samsung understands the importance of producing technology in responsible and sustainable methods. The Galaxy Book2 advances our ongoing commitment to minimize its environmental footprint and help Galaxy users adopt more sustainable lifestyles. Samsung recently announced a new high-performance, eco-conscious material that repurposes discarded fishing nets to reduce plastic waste in the ocean, and this material is now featured in the touchpad holder and the inner bracket of the Galaxy Book2 Series. Expanding the presence of ocean-bound plastics in Galaxy technology, this marks a notable achievement in the company’s sustainability journey. Through Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is powering its scale, innovations and open collaborations to deliver tangible environmental actions across the Mobile eXperience Business and its entire product lineup to preserve the planet for generations to come.

With a battery offering a longer lifecycle^[11] that reduces the need for frequent battery replacement, to eco-conscious AMOLED panels and sustainably-sourced paper boxes and mold trays, the Galaxy Book2 is designed with sustainability in mind.

Samsung Electronics Canada announced the release of Galaxy Book2 Business, a powerful new PC built on the vPro platform[1] and packed with advanced security and productivity features to help businesses conquer the new reality of a hybrid work environment.

“We are in a new era where hybrid working is the norm,” said KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “Enterprises want to ensure their workforce can be their very best in this new environment, with technology that enables creativity, collaboration and productivity, while also protecting themselves from ever-increasing cyber threats. Galaxy Book2 Business is a PC designed for this hybrid world, empowering enterprises with defense-grade security, advanced productivity features and connected Galaxy experiences across devices and operating systems.”

Security at Every Level

As remote work increased, so did cybersecurity threats. Enterprises focused on protecting employees working from home who can be more vulnerable to cyber risks but have limited access to the security tools and infrastructure available in the office. Galaxy Book2 Business helps secure the new hybrid work environment using the Samsung defense-grade security technology, Intel Hardware Shield Technology, and an embedded processor to protect BIOS. The PC is also equipped with a Tamper Alert function that detects and tracks malicious attempts to interfere with security-critical data and to help stop PC attacks before the operating system is infiltrated.

Galaxy Book2 Business helps to stop attempts to compromise its system by establishing a Hardware-based Root of Trust, which validates BIOS and builds a dependable trust chain between the CPU, the embedded processor and SPI flash. Should it become the target of an attack, valuable data is secured with BIOS auto-recovery, which can detect threats during the PC’s boot process and automatically restore the BIOS to a backup copy before corruption strikes.

IT deployment and decentralized device management have never been more important for enterprises of all sizes, and Galaxy Book2 Business equips IT teams with added layers of protection and excellent support designed for today’s hybrid work environments. Built on Intel vPro, the PC ensures reliable, multi-level security and an Intel Hardware Shield that helps protect against hardware and OS attacks and reduces the chances of malware exploiting the OS. By monitoring both BIOS and OS levels, Galaxy Book2 Business helps enterprises evade attacks and keep sensitive data safe. Plus, Microsoft Secured-Core PC (SCPC) protects each device from kernel and firmware attacks to prevent malicious codes from corrupting the system.

Ultimate Productivity In and Out of the Office

Video calls have become routine and Galaxy Book2 Business delivers optimal performance tailor-made for hybrid meetings and work. Whether using video-conferencing apps such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Cisco Webex Meet, Studio Mode[2] ensures every online meeting has a crisp, clean and professional feel. Auto-Framing[3] keeps the camera focused on the faces on-screen while Background Effects like blurred background and virtual office settings minimize distractions and enable employees to be the center of attention, even when taking calls from busy locations. Every Galaxy Book2 Business automatically filters static and background sounds, so voices come through clearly and every word is heard and understood.

When you’re in and out of back-to-back meetings, typing in your password to log back into your laptop can feel tedious. With the IR camera on the Galaxy Book2 Business, authorized users can save time by easily logging in through facial detection. The PC is also designed to keep up with rigorous work environments such as excessive altitudes, temperatures or humidity.

A Galaxy of Flexible, Connected Experiences

To keep up with today’s businesses, Galaxy Book2 Business offers the security solutions and seamless connectivity with other Samsung Galaxy products. Employees can use the Samsung Account Single Sign-On feature which simplifies the authentication process by requiring credentials to be entered only once. The new blockchain-based Private Share[4] feature also gives enterprise customers a safe platform for encrypting and sharing confidential information. Employees can authorize access and set expiration dates for every file they send, so proprietary and privileged information can stay classified. If an employee misplaces their Galaxy Book2 Business PC at any point, they can use SmartThings Find[5] to search for their Galaxy devices and pinpoint the location of each one.

As part of the Galaxy ecosystem, Galaxy Book2 Business can easily sync with smartphone apps through Link to Windows[6] to send texts and take calls using both devices. The crossover app continuity also enables users to select recently used phone apps and open them up on their PC, so they can pick up right where they left off. Samsung has also updated its Quick Share[7] feature and merged it with Link Sharing, so users can instantly and easily share work with others from anywhere.

Canadian Availability

Galaxy Book2 Business will be available for purchase in Graphite for $2,399.99 (our regular price) starting April 1^st at Samsung.ca, Samsung Experience Stores and major retailer partners across Canada.

Today, Samsung Electronics Canada announced the launch of the Galaxy Book2 Pro series, a flagship PC lineup featuring the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 with S Pen functionality and Galaxy Book2 Pro. Both form factors combine the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s hybrid work and learning environment and are built with the mobile DNA Samsung is known for.  The result is a PC experience that is equally productive and portable.

Enterprise-Level Security Meets Mobile Freedom

As more students and professionals enjoy remote or hybrid working environments, safeguarding their data, identity and privacy continues to be a top priority for Samsung. To further protect users, the Galaxy Book2 Pro series is the first consumer PC lineup meeting Microsoft’s secured-core PC[1] requirements. Previously designed for enterprise PCs in high-security industries such as finance, healthcare and government, the secured-core PC designation on the Galaxy Book2 Pro series delivers an enhanced level of protection on Windows 11 and it also features deeply integrated hardware, firmware and software to boost protection against potential cyber-attacks. Now, everyone can enjoy advanced security for enhanced peace of mind.

“Working with Samsung on the Galaxy Book2 Pro series is the next chapter in our proud collaboration to remove barriers between different operating systems and bring the best of Microsoft apps and services to the Galaxy ecosystem,” said David Weston, director of Enterprise and OS Security, Microsoft. “Delivering the first consumer PC with Microsoft’s secured-core PC designation is a crucial step in this effort as today’s consumers deserve the same security protections they get in the office as they do while working remotely.”

The Galaxy Book2 Pro series offers the advantages of enterprise security inside an ultra-portable, stylish chassis that easily travels wherever you go. The series combines ultrathin and ultralight design in sleek new colours and the freedom of Wi-Fi 6E[2] connectivity.

With up to 21 hours of battery life[3], consumers can move about their day without always being plugged in. Plus, the Galaxy Book2 Pro series comes with a super-fast USB Type-C universal charger[4] that can power every Galaxy mobile device[5], allowing you to carry just one charger while traveling.

The Ultimate Power to Do More

The Galaxy Book2 Pro series features the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core processors that allow users to work, video call and game with smooth and reliable performance. Samsung continues its proud partnership with Intel, working closely with the chipmaker to ensure full processor optimization with Galaxy Book2 Pro series hardware and software.

“We continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in our longstanding partnership with Samsung through increased resources, deeper platform integration and more optimization using our newest 12^th Gen Intel® Core processors,” said Jim Johnson, Senior Vice President and interim general manager of the Client Computing Group at Intel Corporation. “With the Galaxy Book2 Pro series, the results speak for themselves. These are some of the lightest, thinnest, and most powerful PCs we’ve ever had the opportunity to work on.”

With video calls now a part of everyday life, the Galaxy Book2 Pro series is upgraded for high-quality call experiences every time you connect. Now featuring 1080p FHD webcams and wider field of view angles[6], your video feed will look clear during every call. Studio Mode[7] is also upgraded with a variety of new features, including Auto Framing, which keeps you perfectly centered even when you move around the frame. New background effects and Face Effect remove visual distractions from the background while enhancing your appearance at the same time so you’ll look your best regardless of where you video chat. To complete the video experience, GREENGUARD-certified AMOLED[8] displays are now brighter[9] for increased clarity.

Audio on the Galaxy Book Pro2 series is also enhanced for video calls that sound and look great. Bi-directional AI noise cancelling[10] blocks distracting noises from both you and your colleague’s background, so every word is heard with full clarity. In addition, the Max 5W output[11] Smart Amp produces balanced sound at louder volumes. Galaxy Book2 Pro series also supports AKG and Dolby Atmos sound technology.

Furthermore, the newly added Samsung Device Care application included on the Galaxy Book2 Pro series now allows users to check their device efficiency and provides ways to optimize power and storage to ensure consistent performance.

Seamless Continuity for the Connected World

The Galaxy Book2 Pro series offers a variety of connected experiences with your other Galaxy devices, that eliminate friction in users’ daily lives. The new Galaxy Book Experience helps users get familiar with unique Galaxy features and transfers their content onto their new device. Through Single Sign-On with Samsung Account, users just need to enter their usernames and passwords once and instantly have access to Galaxy device apps and content including Samsung Gallery and Samsung Notes as well as have their Galaxy Buds[12] ready for pairing.

This new experience also takes users through the Galaxy Book Smart Switch[13] process, helping them move old data, photos, settings and more, from their old PC regardless of manufacturer, to their new PC. And once transferred, the new Galaxy Book2 Pro series experience is also very familiar with the intuitive One Book UI 4.0. Users with other Galaxy devices will feel at home on their new PC with the same UI, apps and menus that they’re already familiar with.

Furthermore, Galaxy Book2 Pro series offers a variety of updates that make everyday interactions more seamless:

• Link to Windows / Microsoft Your Phone[14], which pairs your Galaxy smartphone with your Galaxy Book2 Pro series device, now offers Recent Apps, allowing users to swipe up on their Windows 11 taskbar to check their smartphone’s status and even select their most recently used smartphone apps to use directly on their desktops.
• With Samsung Multi Control[15], you can use your Galaxy Book2 Pro series keyboard and trackpad while navigating on the screen of your Galaxy Tab S8 series tablet for seamless interactions across devices.
• Private Share[16] makes sharing sensitive work documents to colleagues It creates timed links with increased security options based on blockchain technology including view only access, which disables screen capture abilities while viewing and fully revoking access, so users keep the full control of their files even after sharing.
• Now, Quick Share[17] can be used to send large files with the new Link Sharing option, which generates an easily shareable link that recipients can access to quickly share content from PC to other devices.
• The Galaxy Book2 Pro series also serves as the perfect hub for your SmartThings[18]–compatible devices. Turn on the lights, set the temperature or check your security cams all from the convenience of the SmartThings Dashboard. With new Bixby[19] voice control functionality, you can control your IoT devices with the convenience of voice prompts. Plus, with SmartThings Find[20], if a user misplaces their Galaxy Book2 Pro series device, they can quickly locate it even if it is turned off.

Galaxy for the Planet

Samsung understands the importance of producing technology in responsible and sustainable methods. The Galaxy Book2 Pro series advances our ongoing commitment to minimize its environmental footprint and help Galaxy users adopt more sustainable lifestyles.  Samsung recently announced a new high-performance, eco-conscious material that repurposes discarded fishing nets to reduce plastic waste in the ocean, and this material is now featured in the touchpad holder and the inner bracket of the Galaxy Book2 Pro series.  Expanding the presence of ocean-bound plastics in Galaxy technology, this marks a notable achievement in the company’s sustainability journey. Through Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is powering its scale, innovations and open collaborations to deliver tangible environmental actions across the Mobile eXperience Business and its entire product lineup to preserve the planet for generations to come.

With a battery offering a longer lifecycle[41] that reduces the need for frequent battery replacement, to eco-conscious AMOLED panels and sustainably-sourced paper boxes and mold trays, Galaxy Book2 Pro series is designed with sustainability in mind.

Government workers across Atlantic Canada are still signing into work from the safety of their homes, relying on technology solutions to keep them connected and productive. With the work from home model proving advantageous for many, government decision makers and IT leaders are taking a closer look at the technology that’s going to sustain the remote work set up and keep their teams positioned for success.

“One of the first technologies IT teams should be investing in for their workers is the right smartphone,” says Paul Edwards, Vice President & General Manager of Enterprise Mobility with Samsung Canada.

“Today’s smartphones are not only built to enable mobility, but to help workers in all roles and positions accomplish critical tasks. Whether you’re an office worker with greater needs for mobility around the house, or a frontline worker who’s used to being out on the road, your smartphone should act as an important lifeline back to work.”

UNINTERRUPTED MOBILE CONNECTIVITY

Enter the Samsung Galaxy A Series devices, which include the Galaxy A12, Galaxy A32 5G and Galaxy A52 5G. Cost-effective and built with innovative productivity features, remote workers don’t have to worry about lacking the functionality to get the job done from virtually any location.

The Galaxy A Series devices’ expansive displays stretch edge-to-edge, enabling workers to view documents and take video calls from their phones. Not only that, their long-lasting battery life^[1] allows for all-day, uninterrupted connectivity. Government workers who are busy travelling between multiple sites can rest assured that their mobile device will stay powered throughout the entire journey. And if workers do need a charge, the devices’ Super Fast Charging^[2] feature will get them back up and running in no time.

Another core feature remote workers are looking for in their mobile devices, says Edwards, is storage capability. With the Galaxy A Series lineup, government workers don’t have to worry about running out of space for their important work files. With 128GB of built-in storage, plus room to store up to 1TB more by adding a MicroSD card^[3], workers can keep everything they need right at their fingertips, whether online or offline.

With Microsoft Office 365 integration, productivity is built right into the devices. Workers can tap into cloud-based corporate apps and documents remotely and follow along with Microsoft Teams messages so they don’t miss important updates from co-workers.

THE EASE OF INTERCONNECTED DEVICES

Once employees are equipped with a Samsung Galaxy A Series device, Edwards says government organizations need to procure complementary devices to ensure all bases are covered when it comes to setting up remote workers for success.

“Employees rarely rely on a single device these days. Having an ecosystem of devices that all seamlessly sync with each other can help take the work-from-home experience up a notch,” says Edwards.

In addition to the smartphone, many remote workers rely heavily on their laptops. The Galaxy Book Series – which includes the Galaxy Book Pro 360, Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book – is the foundational piece in the Galaxy ecosystem of devices that also includes the Galaxy Buds2 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE. With their Galaxy Book Series laptop, A Series smartphone, Galaxy Buds2 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE, government workers have the complete package for seamless productivity.

With virtual conference calls taking up a lot of government workers’ day, the Galaxy ecosystem can help make taking those calls a breeze.

With the Galaxy Buds2, government workers don’t have to scramble for their headphones, untangle wires or re-pair headsets when joining a Teams video conference. Thanks to harmonious Bluetooth connectivity, the Galaxy Book Pro will immediately recognize and connect to the cord-free Galaxy Buds2 as soon as workers open the case. When it’s their time to speak, they’ll come through with crystal clarity thanks to the powerful voice pick-up.

Workers can also leverage the Galaxy Tab S7 FE as a second screen. While projecting a presentation on their Galaxy Book Pro, employees can simultaneously jot down action items on their tablet with the included S Pen. Once they’re done, they can quickly convert their digital handwritten notes to text at the touch of a button and easily share with their teams.

When other team members are presenting, workers can stay on top of their phone notifications and urgent messages. With Link to Windows integrated into the Galaxy A Series device and Galaxy Book Pro, they’ll be able to see their phone’s notifications right on their laptop screen, streamlining their workflow and prioritizing urgent tasks. And integration with Microsoft 365 apps means that workers can easily share files between their Galaxy device and PC, combine calendars, and do much more.

When government IT decision-makers are deciding on the most ideal tech solutions for their employees, Edwards suggests that they picture it like a toolkit, with various elements that need to work together and complement each other to achieve optimal productivity.

With the economical and feature-rich Galaxy A Series lineup working in synchronicity with the Galaxy ecosystem of devices, there’s nothing the remote government worker can’t achieve.

Boosting Mobility and Ecosystem Experiences

Much like the mobile-forward experiences set to come to users with the introduction of Windows 11, the Samsung Galaxy Book Series is designed to meet evolving lifestyle trends and needs to enhance the lives of today’s consumers. These devices help boost mobility and work effortlessly with your other Galaxy devices at home and at work.

With Link to Windows^[2], you can connect your Galaxy smartphone to your Galaxy Book Series device to help boost productivity. By taking advantage of the greater screen real estate, you can use your favorite mobile apps conveniently in a PC environment. With the update you can check your Galaxy phone connectivity status, manage sound controls, and even enable ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode on your Galaxy Book Series device, all with the help of the same familiar User Interface you see on your Galaxy smartphones and tablets for more seamless control. Link to Windows also comes with Dark Mode for comfortable viewing experiences no matter the time of day.

Along with the launch of Windows 11, Live Wallpaper on the Galaxy Book Series^[3] has also received an upgrade. Live Wallpaper now supports the same UI as seen on your Galaxy smartphones and tablets and the same Dynamic Wallpaper images found on your Galaxy Dynamic Lockscreen. Users can enjoy a range of high-quality background images from 10 different Dynamic Wallpaper categories exclusive to this feature. With the Live Wallpaper update, you can also enjoy the same background across your Galaxy mobiles, tablets and PCs.

Further, for even more mobility with your Galaxy device, Samsung has introduced Bixby on Windows for Galaxy Book users^[4] to provide an intuitive way for you to interact with your PC. Through simple voice commands, you can search for files, open apps and Settings and even control compatible devices within your SmartThings-registered device ecosystem. Simply say “Hi Bixby” or press CTRL, Shift and B or FN and B simultaneously to activate the Bixby on Windows feature. Enjoy easy installation by visiting the Microsoft store or by searching for Bixby in your Windows taskbar.

Existing Galaxy Book Series laptops^[5] are compatible with Windows 11, and users are eligible for a free upgrade to the new Windows 11 operating system. Detailed information on the upgrade procedure process can be found on the official Microsoft website and online at: www.samsung.com/ca/support/windows11-update/
