| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 8 GB |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 256 GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | Yes |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Light sensor, Accelerometer |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Multiple speakers |
| Audio Technology | No |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 5070 mAh |
| Battery Life | 6 hours |
| Charging | Fast Charging |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 13 MP |

I love the beautiful OLED display with its high brightness, excellent color saturation, and near infinite contrast ratio. The included S Pen to work extremely well for note-taking and art, with smooth and fluid performance as well as tilt support. - MobileTechReview |

I thought the Samsung Galaxy Book was a decent 2-in-1 option, but had some issues with it. The included keyboard to be too mushy and flex too much while typing. The tiny left Shift key also annoyed me. While the kickstand offered good viewing angles, it seemed flimsy. - Jared Busch |

I found the included keyboard to be tactile and functional, though it needs a hard surface for best results. The S Pen stylus worked extremely well for drawing and editing tasks. - Dave West Media |

Pros: - Stunning Super AMOLED display with excellent resolution, brightness, color and contrast - Very good stylus support with pressure sensitivity for note-taking and drawing - Solid performance overall thanks to Core i5 processor and fast SSD Cons: - Battery life only around 6-7 hours of use - Keyboard lacks tactile feedback and flexes too much when typing - Storage and RAM capacity seem limiting for power users |
Samsung recently released the Galaxy Book 12 LTE, a new 2-in-1 detachable tablet aimed at mobile professionals.
This lightweight 2-in-1 impressed reviewers with its vivid 12-inch Super AMOLED display, seamless S Pen stylus experience, and snappy performance. However, battery life leaves something to be desired.
Showcasing Samsung's display expertise, the 12-inch screen stuns with sharp 2K resolution, vibrant colors, and infinite contrast thanks to AMOLED technology.
The screen's excellent brightness and HDR support provide a great viewing experience even outdoors. Reviewers unanimously praised the display as the tablet's standout feature.
The included S Pen stylus also won acclaim for providing a natural pen-on-paper feel.
Its pressure and tilt support enables precise note-taking and drawing.
The rechargeable pen even wirelessly syncs notes to the cloud. Reviewers found it responsive and convenient to use.
With a 7th-gen Core i5 processor and 4GB RAM, the tablet delivers smooth system performance for work and play.
The speedy SSD ensures fast app launches and data access.
Reviewers reported the tablet felt snappy when doing everyday tasks, though some felt more RAM would be better for extensive multitasking.
On the downside, battery life disappointed at just 6-7 hours of use due to the power-hungry display. Reviewers felt endurance was inadequate for a mobile device meant for all-day work.
Tablet build quality also received some criticism, with the keyboard cover flexing too much during typing. Other negatives were low base storage and a hefty starting price.
In conclusion, the gorgeous cinema-like display, great stylus experience, and capable performance make the Galaxy Book 12 LTE a compelling detachable for Samsung loyalists.
But subpar battery life significantly limits portability. Shoppers desiring better endurance should consider alternatives like Microsoft's Surface Pro.
For those less bothered by average battery runtimes, Samsung’s latest premium 2-in-1 offers an eye-catching on-the-go Windows experience.
