Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 NP930QCA-KA2DE

60% Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G review: In need of improvement
Source: Expert Reviews English
On the face of it, the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G has it all: impressive performance and battery life, a high-resolution camera and 5G capability, plus a built-in stylus and well-made 360-hinge. Its display is excellent and it’s about as slim, light and attractive as 2-in-1 laptops get. Alas, all the good work is undermined by two major issues. The first is the keyboard, which is hugely disappointing; it’s rattly, shallow and the backlight is patchy. And the second is the price, which at £1,649 for the Core i5 model and £1,849 for the Core i7, is very high. For that sort of cash you’d rightly expect perfection, or nigh on it. Alas, the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G falls a little short of that.

70% Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 2 5G review: A toy-box of features unlike any other
Source: Pocket Lint English
This laptop offers a toy-box of features. It has 5G connectivity, an S-Pen stylus, a QLED screen for added brightness, and a wireless charging touchpad. However, you seem to pay for each and every one, and not all of the laptops basics are handled as well as in some cheaper alternatives. So we're throwing those toys out of the pram.

Samsung has refined and tweaked the Galaxy Book Flex experience to become the most complete convertible laptop you can buy. You’ll need deep pockets, though.

100% Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G review: a premium laptop at a premium price
Source: T3 English
The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G comes with a high asking price but has plenty to justify it, including an integrated stylus and 5G connectivity. Add in an excellent screen, 11th-gen Intel processors, and a well thought out design, and it's a hard laptop to find fault with.

70% Galaxy Book Flex2 5G Review

If you don’t care about 5G and aren’t fussed by the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 5G’s S-Pen, this laptop probably isn’t the best option for your money. The HP Spectre X360 gets you better core tech per pound, and if you don’t need a hybrid then the Lenovo Yoga 7 Slim is a great buy.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.


74.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
