Samsung did not show up to MWC 2022 empty-handed. Despite anticipating the launch of the new Galaxy S22, presented on February 9, the Korean company wanted to take part in the Barcelona fair bring two new notebooks: Samsung Galaxy Book2 Prowith 5G, and Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360, with S-Pen support.

The main features
At the base is security. That’s why the series Galaxy Book2 Pro is the first line-up of consumer PCs ad integrate Microsoft’s secured-core PC requirements, typically used in industries such as finance, health and government affairs. The goal is to have hardware, software and firmware strongly integrated with each other, so da strengthen protection against potential attacks.
Of course, security is only the first piece of a puzzle that gives life to two particularly interesting products. Samsung has also placed access on mobility, with support for 5G (only in the 15-inch version) and Wi-Fi 6E and a battery that guarantees up to 21 hours of autonomy. Once you run out of energy you can use it the universal USB Type-C charger with ultra fast charging, compatible with the whole Galaxy world so you can take only one power supply with you.

Under the body we also find i 12th generation Intel Core processorwhile the frame that embraces the display integrates una webcam 1080p FullHD with a wide angular field of view and the Study mode, now equipped with the Auto Framing functionality which allow you to keep the subject always in the center of the frame. In addition we also find new background effects and the Face Effect, to remove distractions and enhance the shot.
And the audio? Noise cancellation, which uses Artificial Intelligence, blocks background noise and allows you to hear every word clearly. In addition, the Smart Amplifier with maximum 5W output should guarantee a balanced sound even at higher volumes, without annoying distortions. Then there is no shortage AKG audio technology and Dolby Atmos support.

Software al top
Finally, great attention to the software. First of all we have the new application Samsung Device Carewhich allows you to control the efficiency of the notebook and helps optimize power and storage to ensure consistent performance throughout the life of the notebook.
Instead, thanks to the Single Sign-On with Samsung Account you can access content you have on other devices of the Galaxy family, for example all the photos taken with the smartphone or all the notes taken by Samsung Notes.
There’s also Galaxy Book Smart Switch to make it easier to switch from old to new laptop, while One Book UI 4.0 – Samsung’s custom interface – makes using your PC even easier and more immediate.
But that’s not all. The Link to Windows / Microsoft Your Phone feature allows you to connect a Galaxy smartphone to your notebook with Recent Apps which allows you to select recently opened applications to use them directly on the desktop.
There is also Quick Share, which can now also be used for large files, and SmartThings, for controlling the smart home.
