Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra 16 with RTX 4070 in review: High graphics performance in a business-like notebook

Creative beast on a leash. The Galaxy Book3 Ultra's computing power is not visible from the outside. While the RTX 4070 and i9-13900H are definitely the stuff of a powerful gaming laptop, these components are housed in an extremely slim and discreet case. This is only possible with significantly reduced power consumption, which does not hinder performance as much as one might expect.

With the Galaxy Book3 Ultra, Samsung is venturing into the high-performance multimedia notebook segment. Optionally equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 or RTX 4070, the focus is on high-level video and image processing. At the same time, the laptop is slim, unobtrusive and almost 1 kg lighter than a similarly equipped gaming notebook.

Thanks to the strongly reduced power consumption, a small cooling system is sufficient, which also takes up less space. In the following review, we look at just how much the graphics performance is affected when the system has to make do with under 100 watts instead of 250 or 300 watts. Moreover, it remains to be seen how well Samsung has been able to limit heat emissions and fan noise in the small space available.

We recently reviewed the smaller Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra with the RTX 4050. A competitor for comparable tasks and with comparable hardware is, for example, the Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED. But a look at the better equipped and more expensive MSI Stealth 17 Studio certainly doesn't hurt either. And a MacBook Pro with an M2 chip should be roughly on par in terms of price and performance, although a comparison between Windows and Mac is akin to comparing apples and oranges.

Case - Extremely thin Galaxy Book

The dark gray of the Galaxy Book Ultra looks sober and inconspicuous. The underside and the keyboard frame, both made out of plastic, are hardly indistinguishable from the metal display lid, at least visually. Everything appears to seamlessly fit together, and no gaps are to be found.

Torsional stiffness is high. Only a minimal bending of the very flat case can be elicited. The display, which can be easily opened with one hand thanks to its weight and up to 135°, also appears extremely solid. Only the hinges wobble a little too much.

What is really striking is the lack of larger ventilation slots. Air exchange is only possible through the baseplate and via the very subtle grilles on the sides.

Compact 100-watt power adapter and a somewhat too stiff Thunderbolt cable

The thickness of 16.8 mm (our measured value) is difficult to beat. This measurement is all the more remarkable in view of the strong hardware. On this note, the Galaxy Book3 Ultra is also rather restrained in terms of weight.

Equipment - Two TB4s, not much else

The range and number of ports seem minimalistic, but they match the equally minimalistic case. At least the most important ones are on board. There is one HDMI port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports next to it, so all video outputs are right next to each other. There is also a card slot, one USB-A for a mouse or printer and an audio jack.

SD Card Reader

Transfer speeds via our AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60 reference card are unsurprising. Most rivals also achieve around 80 MB/s. The Gigabyte AERO 16 and Dell's XPS 15 9530 show that it can be done much better here. This saves a few minutes when copying a filled card, but not more.

Communication

The lack of a LAN port won't necessarily be missed. At least in the vicinity of the router, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 transmits more than 1 Gbit/s without a cable. Our measured values fall within the average range for multimedia notebooks and for the Intel AX211 WLAN module used.

Only when transmitting on 6 GHz via Wi-Fi 6E does the module fall short of the expected rate despite repeated tests. However, this was not the case during receiving, so we can rule out a hardware error.

Webcam

For such a compact laptop, the Full HD webcam delivers quite decent results. Images look high-quality in sufficient light. No color deviations or image noise were observed. Only in a weakly-lit room or in twilight does image noise emerge and the frame rate also seems to decrease.

The dual array microphone performs well enough when it comes to suitability for video telephony. It picks up the voice from different directions and at various distances without changes in volume. Although voices sound clean for the most part, they also sound a little distorted at times. However, this is only noticeable if you pay close attention to it.

Maintenance

Only four Phillips screws have to be unscrewed to remove the baseplate. These are located under the clicked-in rubber feet, which can be removed without damage with a bit of finesse.

This makes it sounds like an easy-to-open notebook, but it is not at all. Countless plastic clips hold the baseplate tightly in place. There is also a mechanism in the center of the base plate that is also connected to the cooling system by means of a thermal pad. The mechanism can only be opened after completely loosening and bending the baseplate, and proves to be similarly complicated when putting the laptop back together.

Those who are persistent and careful enough not to bend or break anything will find a free M.2 slot with PCIe 4 for storage expansion. The primary SSD and the battery can also be swapped out. The fans can be easily cleaned.

The RAM and the WLAN module, on the other hand, are soldered. All in all, this hardly matters, since Samsung has made opening extremely cumbersome.

Input Devices - Creator notebook with a big extra

The tight dimensions of the notebook leave little room for play, so the key travel is just 1 mm, but this hardly spoils our overall positive impression of the keyboard. A non-slip surface structure and a pleasantly firm counter pressure ensure good typing dynamics. Samsung has also made excellent use of the 16-incher's available space. The number block has a normal size and thanks to the small space to the arrow keys, these can be felt without eye contact. This certainly makes work in tables easier, among other things.

The highlight, however, is the oversized touchpad. It measures 15 x 10 cm, which is significantly larger than in a typical business notebook. The controls are precise, the key travel is well dosed, and handling with several fingers also works without issue. However, it does take a certain amount of getting used to, since we repeatedly brushed the touchpad with the hand while typing. Inputs are successful for the most part, but sometimes can be imprecise or unintentional with two fingers.

Nevertheless, the touchpad looks good and should make the additional mouse obsolete if necessary.

Display - OLED and 3K in the Galaxy Book3 Ultra

Subpixel grid
Subpixel grid

A 3K resolution, which in this case means 2,880 x 1,800 pixels, an OLED display, 120 Hz and HDR certification suit the notebook's intended purpose well. Thanks to 5 million pixels, high-resolution digital photos are displayed very well. The increased frame rate also meets the requirements for optimal video playback and editing.

On top of this, the OLED display contributes its share to the strong image values. The deep black ensures very good contrasts and makes colors appear more vivid. In addition, the Vesa Display HDR 500 certification advertises the optimal reproduction of HDR content. The glossy screen also helps to bring about very good representation of the content displayed. In the absence of surface graininess, images and videos appear consistently brilliant. However, you have to accept strong reflections from bright surfaces in the background.

We measured a good average brightness of 408 cd/m². Rival devices with OLED displays do not quite reach this level of brightness. A slight dimming can be observed when the power adapter is unplugged, but the brightness is still acceptable at 340 cd/m².

Screen bleeding need not be feared. The self-illuminating pixels switch off when black is displayed, which results in the panel's perfect black value.

* ... smaller is better

The display's P3 color space, which is usually used in professional video editing, is not reproduced quite perfectly. The OLED display cannot completely display the required yellow and orange tones. The fact that Samsung specifies 120 percent coverage is because it simply includes colors that don't even exist in the color space.

On the other hand, we measured one of the best coverage rates for AdobeRGB, which is mostly used for professional image editing, among the listed contenders. Only the Dell XPS 9530, which is also equipped with an OLED display from Samsung, performs a little better.

However, since we almost always work in the sRGB color space, the display is perfectly suitable for media creation and editing without further calibration.

Samsung's included software allows for the direct selection of different color profiles. Even in the OLED display's native mode, the average color deviation that we determined is practically imperceptible. However, a trained eye might still notice discrepancies in some color tones.

If, on the other hand, the Display-P3 profile is selected, which visibly changes the display, all deviations are on a very low level and should no longer be perceptible. The color representation is thus near perfect without calibration.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 3 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 3 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 250 Hz ≤ 70 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 250 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 70 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 250 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 18914 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

As usual with OLED panels, we detected PWM-induced image flickering. The frequency of 240 Hz is in a range that may be noticeable for sensitive people. Camera sensors also have no problem exhibiting this effect.

However, the effect is much less pronounced than in a classic monitor with LED backlighting. On such a panel, larger areas are deactivated. On an OLED display, on the other hand, it is always only a very small area of pixels that turn black for a short time. This serves to increase the display's lifespan, among other things.

Despite sufficient brightness, the glossy display prevents outdoor use. Even on cloudy days, there are strong reflections that make screen viewing much more difficult.

Only in the shade and against the light are text and pictures well recognizable.

Deviations in color reproduction can only be observed from extremely steep viewing angles. Brightness and color reproduction remain impeccable within the usual field of view and beyond 45°.

Performance - Efficiency is the focus of the Galaxy Book3 Ultra

The powerful hardware allows you to work quickly, even with complex applications and intensive multitasking. The Intel Core Intel Core i9-13900H is rarely fully challenged in simple tasks, as is the RTX 4070. The graphics card in particular only reaches its limits in current gaming titles due to the very limited power consumption. Nevertheless, we observed almost consistently playable frame rates at the highest level of detail.

However, the system is predestined for image and video editing. 3D rendering poses no major problems either. The Galaxy Book3 Ultra can be run very quietly, but then loses some performance. The behavior in battery mode is also remarkable, as 3D performance remains high. Video editing on the go thus seems feasible.

The smaller configuration with the Intel Core i7-13700H and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 requires a few more compromises. A clear difference in speed is likely to be noticeable in particularly complex tasks. Should you indeed want to play a game now and then, the stronger variant would be naturally more advantageous. 

 
 

Testing Conditions

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 uses the included "Samsung Settings" software to configure some of the basic settings and behavior of the laptop. Three performance profiles are available to choose from, which can also be set via "Fn"+ "F11".

We selected High Performance mode for our benchmarks. Little consideration is given to heat and noise development. In any case, the latter is well below the level regularly exhibited by gaming notebooks.

Samsung Settings could be clearer, but it has some useful settings.

Processor

The Intel Core i9-13900H CPU belongs to the high-end segment and is outperformed by few mobile processors. With 14 cores, 20 threads, 24 MB L3 cache and a high peak clock, it is certainly capable of processing complex tasks. In the slim Galaxy Book, however, the CPU has to make do with a reduced power consumption of a maximum of 75 W. As a result, it lags far behind an Intel Core i9-12900H of the previous generation, for example, but is much more economical.

The Apple M2 Pro 10 Core shows that things can be done even more efficiently. It only needs 27 W for a marginally worse score in the Cinebench R15 endurance test. Nevertheless, the i9 in Samsung's Creator notebook is on a good level when you consider the limited space and cooling options.

The comparison with the Galaxy Book3 Ultra with the Intel Core i7-13700H shows that the CPU is more powerful under short-term load. The "smaller" notebook of the two performs significantly better in our CPU evaluation across various measurements. It seems that the i7 copes better with lower power consumption than the i9. The roughly identical CPUs mainly differ in the maximum achievable clock rate, which cannot be exploited during lower power consumption. For example, we measured a maximum clock rate of 3.7 GHz in Cinebench R23. Theoretically, up to 5.4 GHz is possible.

On the other hand, the faster i9 processor can once again assert itself in the Cinebench R15 endurance test when computing power is needed for a longer periods of time. The advantages of the stronger, but also louder cooling (compared to the i7 variant) then become apparent.

The use of Optimized mode can result in some unusual dynamics. For fractions of a second, 75 W is allowed, just like in Silent mode and even in battery operation. In contrast, the power consumption for longer periods is limited to 45 W. In Silent mode, this value drops to 30 W.

The performance modes are also available in battery operation. PL1, which sets the power consumption for up to 32 seconds, is then reduced by 10 W. In Silent mode, on the other hand, it remains at 30 W, which is actually sufficient, as will be shown below.

More benchmarks and comparison values can be found in our CPU benchmark list.

System Performance

The limited power consumption is hardly noticeable during normal use. Compared to the more powerful models, program starts are slightly delayed. Compared to a fast business notebook, on the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra has an advantage. The many cores of the CPU and the support provided by the dedicated graphics chip can be fully exploited here. 

Fast working and multitasking do not cause the system any problems. In addition, the efficiency factor should not be overlooked. The very similarly equipped Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED has a lead of 40 to 50% in most benchmarks. However, it needs to consume twice as much power to stay ahead.

The laptop's CPU performance are echoed in the system performance: the smaller Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra also shows better rates here. However, the i7-13700H continues to demonstrate that it can handle the 75W limitation much better than the i9-13900H.

DPC Latency

The latency we measured with LatencyMon indicates driver problems with the Nvidia Studio graphics driver. However, the kernel mode driver framework also shows measurable delays. So the system is not suitable for real-time audio processing. Adjusting the software as well as future updates could lead to considerable improvements.

56 dropped frames is also a below-average value for 4K video playback on YouTube, especially for a multimedia notebook in this configuration. A driver update in the future should amend this. At the time of review, Nvidia Studio 531.61 was the latest graphics card driver installed.
