The anticipation builds for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, especially after their recent venture into trifold technology with the Galaxy Z TriFold.

New Ultra Branding
In a surprising move, Samsung has not directly replaced the Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (currently priced at $1,479 on Amazon) even though they have integrated Intel’s Panther Lake architecture. Instead, they have returned to their Ultra branding with the Galaxy Book6 Ultra, now boasting up to the Core Ultra X9 388H processor, 64 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU, aiming to compete with the MacBook Pro 16. Additionally, the Galaxy Book6 Ultra comes with an 80.2 Wh battery, a haptic trackpad, and a stunning 2.8K AMOLED display that offers up to 1,000 nits of peak brightness along with a variable refresh rate of 30-120 Hz.
Galaxy Book6 Pro Variants
Sitting below the Galaxy Book6 Ultra is the Galaxy Book6 Pro, available in both 14-inch and 16-inch models. While these models also feature haptic trackpads, they are limited to the Core Ultra X7 as the highest processor option, with battery capacities of 67 Wh for the 14-inch model and 78 Wh for the 16-inch model. However, neither size of the Galaxy Book6 Pro includes dedicated graphics.
The Entry-Level Option
Finally, there’s the entry-level Galaxy Book6, which is limited to the less powerful Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 processors from Intel’s Panther Lake lineup. This model also comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. Unfortunately, it does not include a haptic trackpad, opting for a standard click pad instead, and features a smaller 61.2 Wh battery even in the 16-inch model. The Galaxy Book6 series is expected to be launched in select markets later this month.
