MagyarSamsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 13 Review: Lightweight 2-in-1 laptop with stylus input and OLED display
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 is a slim, portable 2-in-1 laptop that weighs just 1,040 g and is the convertible version of the recently reviewed Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro. The 2-in-1 laptop doesn't differ much from its predecessor in terms of looks. The changes (Alder Lake processor instead of Tiger Lake) are more focused towards the internals. Competitors for the Galaxy Book2 Pro include devices like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga G1, the Fujitsu LifeBook U9311X, and the Dynabook Portégé X30W-J.

Case: Samsung chooses metal for the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 NP930QED
The Galaxy Book's gray-black (graphite) metal case has smooth, matte surfaces. The sleek and elegant laptop doesn't have any flashy design features, but its slim exterior is enough to make it look eye-catching. The integrated battery (screwed, not glued), and the rest of the hardware are accessible after removing the bottom cover.
The laptop doesn't show any manufacturing flaws. The gaps are accurate, and there are no material protrusions. The lightweight construction comes at a price, however. The base unit and the lid can be warped; the base unit can be pressed inwards at its edges. The hinges keep the screen firmly in place, but it does wobble a bit. Opening the lid with one hand is possible.
The Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 NP930QED weighs about 1,040 g. The Fujitsu LifeBook U9311X also weighs similarly. The Dynabook Portégé X30W-J, on the other hand, remains just under the 1,000 g mark. The Samsung laptop is ahead of these two when it comes to being compact. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga G1 is bigger and heavier than the competition.
Connectivity: The Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 comes with Thunderbolt 4
The number of available interfaces is modest. The laptop offers a combo audio jack and three USB-C ports (1x Thunderbolt 4, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1). The latter are used to supply the laptop with energy (Power Delivery) and/or as video outputs (DisplayPort via USB-C). The Thunderbolt 4 port also allows the connection of a docking solution or an external GPU.
The ports are located in the rear areas of the right and left sides. This keeps the space next to the palm rest free of cables. A nifty feature is that both the power adapter and an external monitor can be plugged in on both sides — definitely an advantage for a mobile device.
SD card reader
The microSD memory card reader (reference card: AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60) falls into the category of moderately fast card readers with maximum transfer rates of 64.7 MB/s (transferring 250 jpg image files of around 5 MB each) and 86.7 MB/s (copying large data blocks).

Communication
The Wi-Fi transfer rates determined under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices nearby, short distance between laptop and server PC) are excellent and correspond to the capabilities of the built-in Wi-Fi chip (Intel AX211; 802.11 ax).
A Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 variant with LTE or a 5G modem is not available. Users will have to resort to the predecessor if they need this as it comes in a variant with a 5G modem. Samsung's website has it listed if you are interested.
Webcam
The webcam (2.1 MP) creates images with a maximum resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels. There are problems with color accuracy. Colors deviate significantly from the target and, furthermore, the camera does not have a mechanical shutter.
Security
The convertible comes with a fingerprint scanner to provide secure biometric access. Alternatively, Windows Hello can be used to access the device securely. In addition, a Trusted Platform Module (2.0) is also onboard.
Accessories
Besides the usual documents (warranty information and Quick Start guide), the laptop comes with the S-Pen stylus.
Maintenance
The interior is accessible after removing the bottom cover. Four screws are hidden under the four rubber feet (plugged in, not glued), and they need to be removed. After that, the bottom cover needs to be removed carefully (!) — it's quite tight and can be bent easily. Once this is done, the SSD (PCIe Gen 3), the fan, the speakers, and the battery become accessible.
Warranty
In Germany, Samsung includes a two-year warranty with this 13.3-incher. A two-year warranty extension costs 89 Euros (~US$94).
Input devices: The Samsung convertible supports stylus input
Keyboard
The smooth keys of the backlit chiclet keyboard have a short travel and a clear pressure point. The resistance provided by the keys is acceptable, and the keyboard doesn't yield during typing. The three-stage key illumination is controlled via a function key. Overall, Samsung delivers a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use.
Touchpad
A multitouch-capable ClickPad (approx. 11.4 cm x 6.7 cm) acts as a mouse replacement. Its smooth surface makes it easy for fingers to glide on it. It also responds to inputs in the corners. The pad offers a short travel and a clear pressure point.
Touchscreen
The touchscreen supports ten touch points, and it responds to inputs quickly. It can be operated through touch inputs as well as with the included S-Pen. The latter weighs just under 8 g and fits well in the hand. The pen attaches magnetically to various parts of the case. However, the device doesn't have a slot for the stylus.
Display: Deep blacks thanks to OLED
The glossy OLED touchscreen display (13.3-inch, 1,920x1,080 pixels) provides excellent contrast and black levels as well as fast response times. The brightness level (375 cd/m²) is good. The maximum brightness is slightly lower on battery power at 322 cd/m².
The brightness control of the OLED panel is achieved by dimming individual lines within the displayed screen content. This happens at brightness levels of 90% and below at a frequency of 60 Hz. This effect is similar to the well-known PWM flickering, but it's not directly comparable. While a low PWM frequency could trigger headaches and/or eye problems in sensitive users, this doesn't necessarily have to occur in the case of the method employed here.

The display shows a very good color reproduction out of the box - the color deviation is within the desired range. The display doesn't suffer from a blue tint either. The color-space coverage using the Standard color profile is pleasing. The sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces are covered up to 100%, and the Adobe RGB color space is covered up to 97%. The color-space reproduction can be adjusted towards one of the three color spaces using the preinstalled Samsung settings software.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 59 Hz | ≤ 90 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 59 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 90 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 59 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17254 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
Th panel's viewing-angle stability is good and is legible from every position. However, outdoor viewing is difficult due to the reflective display surface.
Performance: Alder Lake CPU is unable to reach full performance in the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360
With the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360, Samsung has a portable 2-in-1 laptop in its lineup that offers enough processing power for office and Internet applications.
Test conditions
The laptop has four manufacturer-specific performance profiles — High Performance, Optimized, Quiet, and Silent — which can be toggled between via the "Fn" + "F11" key combination. The battery tests and benchmarks were carried out using the "Optimized" profile.
| High Performance | Optimized | Quiet | Silent | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power Limit 1 | 20 watts | 20 watts | 10 watts | 10 watts |
| Power Limit 2 | 45 watts | 45 watts | 35 watts | 30 watts |
Processor
The Core i7-1260P processor (Alder Lake) is comprised of four performance cores (Hyper-Threading, 2.1 to 4.7 GHz) and eight efficiency cores (no Hyper-Threading, 1.5 to 3.4 GHz). This results in a total of 16 logical CPU cores.
The Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test is processed briefly at high clock rates (P cores: 4 to 4.1 GHz, E cores: 3.2 GHz), after which the clock speeds drop a bit (P cores: 3.5 to 3.9 GHz, E cores: 2.9 to 3.1 GHz). The single-thread test is run at 2.2 to 4.7 GHz (P cores) and 1.2 to 3.5 GHz (E cores), respectively. Clock rates are considerably lower on battery power.
All in all, the benchmark results aren't satisfactory. Although the CPU can counter short-term load peaks with a lot of computing power, it falls short of its capabilities on the whole especially during prolonged load. The power limits have been set relatively low in order to ensure sufficient cooling for the CPU. The processor isn't built for the slim case of the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360.
We verify if the CPU Turbo is consistently used when plugged in by running the Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test in a loop. It's possible to maintain high clock rates only for a short time. The results, and therefore the CPU's operating speeds, drop significantly within the first seven runs followed by a continuous fluctuation of the clocks. The P and E cores fall below their base clock speeds. The "High Performance" profile produces a more consistent performance development.

Storage
The system drive is a PCIe Gen 3 SSD (M.2 2280) from Samsung that delivers good transfer rates. The storage space (256 GB) is rather poor for a 1,500-Euro (~US$1,573) laptop. Furthermore, Samsung could have definitely opted for a PCIe Gen 4 drive for the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360.
