Next to a rendered who leaked Earlier in the week, more information about Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook 2 surfaced online, including pricing details. A marketing slide shared by Microsoft tipster WalkingCat suggests the device will feature a 13.3-inch QLED display with DCI-P3 wide color gamut, a 10th Gen Core i3 processor and somewhere in the ballpark of 12 hours. autonomy. It would also feature more powerful speakers, WiFi 6 connectivity and a slightly heavier frame than its predecessor.

For context, the first Galaxy Chromebook features a 4K AMOLED display and a 14nm 10th Gen Intel i5 processor. This combination of components is the main culprit for the Galaxy Chromebook’s notoriously poor battery life. In his review of the 2020 model, Engadget’s Nathan Ingraham found he couldn’t even use the Galaxy Chromebook for four hours before its battery died. The claim in the slide above suggests that Samsung got the battery life memo.

In a subsequent tweet, WalkingCat said the Galaxy Chromebook 2 would cost $699. We can’t know for sure yet, but that price probably refers to the entry-level model. This price would make the Galaxy Chromebook 2 much more affordable than its $999 predecessor and more in line with other high-end Chromebooks like the PixelBook Go. The slide suggests that Samsung plans to release the Galaxy Chromebook 2 in February. With CES 2021 in a few weeks, we’ll probably learn more about the device, and many more, soon.
