MagyarSamsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 16-inch Convertible review: newest display generation meets revamped processor
Slim and powerful – that's what Samsung's Galaxy Book Series is all about. The portable aluminum-clad computers and convertibles are in their third generation already, but predecessors such as the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 were only mildly impressive. Why? Because Samsung opted for very low processor performance rates. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is the newest representative of the series, and it features a large 16-inch display. Despite its size, the 2-in-1 notebook is exceptionally slim and can even compete with the LG Gram. The only area Samsung was more generous in was the device's weight. The convertible, equipped with an Intel Core i5-1340P, has an excellent cooling system that enables good performance. The best feature of the device, however, is the Dynamic AMOLED 2x display.
This is the first time Notebookcheck has tested the Intel Core i5-1340P, which is why we have taken a particularly close look at the Raptor Lake processor's performance. We expected the processor to land between the Intel Core i5-1240P and the Intel Core i7-1250P of the Alder Lake generation. Unfortunately, our review has shown that Intel's new generation of processors has only achieved a small increase in performance.

Case - As if from a single mold
Samsung's convertible is beautifully designed and the quality of its chassis is very good. All the important parts of the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 are made of dark, anodized aluminum. Depending on the light, the notebook can appear dark gray or even brown. The workmanship is very precise; there are no irritating gaps to be found. Despite the very slim build of the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360, the 16-inch notebook feels as if it were made from a single mold. 13 mm thick, and yet it feels very solid and stable. Both the display and base unit are warp-resistant. Samsung's line management stays true to its principles; there are only a few small differences compared to the Galaxy Book2 and the Galaxy Book 360.
Samsung has chosen to round the display's corners. This marries the display below the glass to the rounded corners of the convertible in a very harmonious way. But there's a limitation: Windows 11 simply isn't made to work with rounded corners, so individual icons often don't entirely fit into the displayed area, even if this is only a matter of a few pixels. We also noticed that the radius of the AMOLED panel and the radius of the tinted frame aren't exactly the same. These four corners are the only manufacturing inaccuracies we found.
The convertible's 360° hinges, on the other hand, are very well executed. When closed, they are flush with the other parts of the case. The display is easy to open and stays put at every angle.
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is the thinnest device compared to other 16-inch notebooks and convertibles. Samsung managed to cut down on its weight, too. Only the classic notebook-style LG Gram 16 weighs another 500 grams less thanks to its ultra-light magnesium case.
Connectivity – Limited port selection
The slim case does not provide much space for ports, which is why Samsung chose to focus on what's important. There are two USB-C ports fully equipped with ThunderBolt 4 on the left and a USB-A port on the right. This makes for a meager-looking port selection, especially as the USB-C port is blocked by the AC adapter if used without a suitable docking station.
SD card reader
The transfer rates in our test with the AV Pro SD microSD 128 GB V60 are appropriate and average for convertibles. Still, most competitors are faster.

Communication
The soldered Intel WiFi AX211 module ensures good speeds for wireless network connections. Both in the 5-GHz and the 6-GHz Wi-Fi network, the transfer rates are good. We did encounter a small problem with the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360's Wi-Fi, however. It sometimes took over a minute for the Wi-Fi module to establish a connection after restarting the device. This didn't improve until we updated the drivers.
Webcam
Samsung has equipped this device with a Full-HD webcam. Although there is very little space available in the slim display cover, the camera delivers an astonishingly good picture. Provided the lighting is decent, it produces high-contrast, crisp images and even reproduces colors accurately.
Security
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360's power button also functions as a fingerprint scanner. The Intel Core i5-1340P is also equipped with several security functions such as TPM 2.0.
Accessories
In addition to the 65-Watt USB-C power supply, the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 comes equipped with a Samsung Active Pen.
Maintenance
Opening the convertible is difficult due to the narrow gap dimensions. You first have to loosen four screws under the inserted feet. Then you need to use a strong suction cup to open the device. A plastic opening tool won't get you far because of the almost nonexistent gaps. Because the base unit is held in place by numerous clips, this all requires a lot of strength and care to avoid damaging the cover of the base unit made of thin aluminum and glued plastic.
As long as you don't want to replace the M.2 NVMe SSD, opening the device is hardly worth the effort. Most of the other components in the notebook are soldered on. The only other thing you could do is clean the fan and replace the battery. Other repairs require a hot air soldering station. If you do open the device, be very methodical. The small feet only fit into the exact same slots they were in, and only in the exact position they were in. Otherwise, the laptop will either be crooked or wobble once you've put it back together again.
Warranty
Samsung offers two protection plans on their website that you can select before checkout.
Input devices – Oversized touchpad
The 16-inch notebook is large enough for a full-size keyboard and an oversized clickpad. It takes up more than half the lower section of the base unit. It is 36% larger than its predecessor. If you ask us, it's just too big. We had difficulty reaching the left mouse button with our right hand when typing, which occasionally triggered a right-click by mistake.
Keyboard
The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 has a backlit keyboard with very little travel and haptic feedback. Even though the layout with the large keys scores a couple of extra points, the keyboard overall is not really suitable for regular work. Every key is almost equidistant to the next – only the arrow keys are bunched closer together. We tried to get used to the keyboard, but even after some time, typing on the convertible never felt comfortable. In addition to the spongy keys, the oversized clickpad also makes working more challenging. There is next to no space for the left hand to rest on and wrist recognition is far from perfect. We would recommend deactivating the touchpad using the shortcut FN+F5 when you have a lot of typing to do.
Touchpad
The size of the touchpad on the 2-in1 laptop by Samsung may appear impressive at first glance, but our trial soon showed that the clickpad is simply too big. At 7 inches, most users with averagely-sized hands will have difficulty using this touchpad. Reaching from the right, you hardly reach the center of the clickpad, which makes triggering a left click difficult without your wrist touching the touchpad. It's a shame – the clickpad would bre very good apart if it weren't for its size. It has a good feel, a quick response rate and should be durable thanks to its glass surface.
Stylus
Some Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 devices support inputs with a stylus. If this is the case, the S-Pen will be included in the scope of delivery. It is easy to use in combination with the 2-in-1 notebook thanks to its 4,096 pressure levels and button. The pen does not require batteries and is recharged through induction. It can be magnetically attached to the notebook in several areas.
Display - Dynamic AMOLED2X
The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360's Dynamic AMOLED2x display has a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels. At 16 inches and a size ratio of 16:10, this equates to 221 ppi. The corners of the display are slightly rounded with a radius of half a centimeter. You have to move very close to the display to perceive individual pixels. The OLED panel "only" has a brightness of 419.8 cd/m², but thanks to the endless contrast of OLED panels, the screen is easy to read even in direct sunlight. Surprisingly, the reflective display is not really a problem. OLED also means that this display does not have backlight bleeding or brightness deviations. Instead, there's the typical flickering caused by the line-by-line refresh of the display.

* ... smaller is better
The Samsung Settings app allows you to make certain changes to the display settings. Our measurements of the display were all performed in the "vivid" (AMOLED native) mode. The DisplayP3 color space is covered almost entirely in this mode. Our test results showed good color space coverage in all three main color spaces and low color deviations. Our ICC profile (available for download in the info box above) only made minimal improvements to the grayscales.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz |  | |
The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 240 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18925 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The Dynamic AMOLED2X display's response rates cannot be measured precisely with our measurement tools and are in the middle three-digit microsecond range. However, our measurements are also influenced by the flickering of the display. On OLED devices, the image is typically updated one line at a time. Differences in brightness are displayed with a type of PWM. The black stripes (visible in the image below) move across the display within a frame and are made wider or narrower depending on the required brightness.
The AMOLED2x display has very stable viewing angles. Even from very wide angles, colors and brightness remain the same. Outdoors, reflections may impair readability, but it is easy to adjust the display to ensure good readability in most situations.
Performance – Raptor Lake offers no advantages
The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 is available with an Intel Core i5-1340P and 8 GB of RAM, which is the configuration this review is based on, or with an Intel Core i7-1360P and 16 GB of RAM. The storage device can either be a 256-GB, 512-GB or 1-TB NVMe SSD. While we don't expect to see a big difference between the CPU performances of the Intel Core i5-1340P and the i7-1360P, the Intel Iris Xe with 96 EUs in the Core i7 is a lot more powerful than the Iris Xe with 80 EUs in the i5. If you are interested in using this notebook for 3D purposes, we would recommend upgrading to the i7 configuration.
Testing conditions
Some of the drivers installed on the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 were very out of date when we first received it. This had a negative impact on the notebook's performance. That is why we decided to update all of the notebook's Intel drivers via Intel DSA, which led to significant improvements in many applications and also stabilized the Wi-Fi connection.
Users can choose between various performance profiles in the Samsung Settings app or using the shortcut FN+F11. The available modes are High performance, Optimized, Silent and Calm. During operation, PL1 and PL2 are constantly monitored and adjusted to the system conditions. This can lead to performance dropping due to insufficient cooling, but it could also mean achieving better performance than what we measured if the conditions are ideal. The maximum values for long-term performance (PL1) and short-term performance (PL2) are 35 watts and 50 watts. In Silent mode, the processor's continuous power consumption remains at 10 watts.
The system performance benchmarks were carried out in the High performance mode. This has the same boost behavior as the Optimized mode. Boosted performance usually has a stronger impact on benchmark results and is also more relevant in everyday use, which is why we expect the difference in performance between these two modes to be relatively small.
Processor
Like its predecessor, the 1240P, the Intel Core i5-1340P is used in slim and light notebooks with limited cooling options. We would have expected Intel's newest generation of processors to offer significant improvements in efficiency. Unfortunately, we have not seen anything of the like while reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360. The Acer Swift X SFX16-52G-52VE can serve as a direct comparison. This device has an Intel Core i5-1240P with a PL1 of 35 watts (like Samsung's convertible), but its boost performance is a lot higher at 65 watts. Other notebooks in our database have even greater differences between the preconfigured performance values. The previous generation's Galaxy Book devices, for example, had to make do with significantly lower performance levels.
In the end, all benchmarks paint a clear picture. If any, the Intel Core i5-1340P has no noteworthy advantages compared to the 1240P. The Galaxy Book3 and Acer Swift X are on par in all benchmarks, although the Raptor Lake may have a small efficiency advantage during short boost periods. It almost seems as if the only difference between the processor is its model number. It should also be noted, though, that the spread among mid-range processors can be quite high in some cases. Our Samsung test unit may just be a bad example.

System Performance
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360's system performance is good, although our PCMark 10 benchmark results show the negative impact of the SSD, which can be slow in certain situations, and of the relatively small 8-GB RAM. The Crossmark benchmark results are better. Overall, the convertible provides enough performance for everyday use and a bit more. The 2-in-1 notebook has no problem supporting image processing and some other specialist software. Only 3D applications are limited due to the small Intel Iris Xe with 80 EUs. The graphics chip can only handle light applications. The use of programs that create extensive databases may also be limited due to the small RAM.
