Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro Laptop Review - Better than the new XPS 16

Name: Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro
Brand: Samsung

The least interesting Panther Lake CPU.

Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Pro gets Intel's Panther Lake processors, Wi-Fi 7 as well as a new OLED touchscreen, which is finally brighter than before. Prices are very high, however, and the Galaxy Book6 Pro faces excellent rivals, so is it enough to beat the XPS 16 or Zenbook S16?

AI Arc Intel Laptop Panther Lake Touchscreen Thunderbolt Wi-Fi 7

Verdict - Galaxy Book6 Pro is a good, but also expensive laptop

Samsung finally uses brighter OLED screens for the new Galaxy Book6 Pro and the new 120 Hz touchscreen with up to 1200 nits peak brightness offers superb image quality. The only downside is the constant PWM flickering, so sensitive users should try it first. You also get new Panther Lake processors from Intel, but our test unit only uses the Core Ultra 7 356H with the slow iGPU, which is pretty slow. It is sufficient for everyday tasks including video streaming, but if you want to play some games, we recommend the SKU with the Core Ultra X7.

The aluminum chassis is once again very sleek and stable and ports selection is sufficient, but Samsung removed the card reader. The fans are quiet, temperatures are low and battery runtimes are very good, even though some rivals with inferior screens like the Dell XPS 16 we tested offer more stamina. We also like the new input devices with the haptic trackpad, but Samsung removed the dedicated numpad.

The big issue here is the price, because our unit retails for $2099 and this does not even include the faster Core Ultra X7 processor with the Arc B390 iGPU. All in all, the new Galaxy Book6 Pro is a good, but expensive overall package for everyday use.

Pros

+ excellent chassis quality

+ high system performance

+ excellent OLED touchscreen with accurate color profiles

+ long battery runtimes

+ very quiet in everyday situations

+ 2x M.2-2280 SSD

Cons

- soldered RAM

- PWM flickering with high amplitude

- limited number of ports

- no card reader anymore

Price and Availability

You can order the new Galaxy Book6 Pro directly from Samsung starting from $2099.

Case and Connectivity

The chassis design looks pretty much identical to the previous model, which means you once again get a sleek 16-inch laptop with a high-quality aluminum chassis. The silver color does not really attract fingerprints and the stability is excellent. Especially the lower bezel is once again very thick and the new keyboard design as well as the re-arranged Samsung logo on the lid are basically the only two visible changes. The internal layout was slightly changed as well, but you still get two full-size M.2-2280 SSD slots, all the other components are onboard.

In terms of connectivity you still get Thunderbolt 4 as well as a regular USB-A port, but the microSD-card reader is gone. The Wi-Fi module now supports the new Wi-Fi 7 standard and we determine transfer rates of up to 4.5 Gbps. The 1080p webcam did not change.

Input Devices

Samsung changed the input devices and we already experienced the new keyboard on the Galaxy Book6 Ultra. The dedicated numpad is gone and there are now speakers next to the keyboard. The typing experience is okay and benefits from precise feedback, but the key travel is pretty shallow. Both the Zenbook S16 as well as the ThinkPad X9 15 offer more comfortable keyboards. The huge haptic trackpad (15 x 10.5 cm) on the other hand is excellent and you can also use the capacitive touchscreen for inputs.

Display - Brighter 120 Hz OLED

Samsung uses a brighter OLED touchscreen for the Galaxy Book6 Pro and it is the exact same panel from the Galaxy Book6 Ultra. The subjective image quality is excellent with rich colors and sharp images and even bright contents do not look grainy. Movements are smooth thanks to 120 Hz (adaptive between 30-120 Hz) and response times are very fast, but there is PWM flickering at 240 Hz at every brightness level with a large amplitude, so sensitive users should try the panel first.

Samsung finally improved the brightness and we measure 500 nits for SDR contents and up to 1200 nits for HDR contents (648 nits for a completely white image). Samsung also implements accurate color profiles for P3 as well as sRGB out of the box and our analysis with the professional CalMAN software shows excellent color accuracy out of the box, so pitcure editing is no problem. We could not improve the accuracy even further with our own calibration.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
0.41 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.2 ms rise
0.41 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.21 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. » 0 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
0.51 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.25 ms rise
0.51 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.26 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 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 1 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (31.3 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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

240 Hz
Amplitude: 100 %

≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

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 7920 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Outdoors (bright day, no direct sunlight)

Performance - Panther Lake

Samsung currently only offers the new Galaxy Book6 Pro with the Core Ultra 7 356H in combination with soldered RAM and the slow iGPU with 4 Xe cores. Samsung also announced one SKU with the Core Ultra X7 358H and the faster Arc B390 iGPU.

Testing Conditions

Samsung includes multiple power profiles and they sync with the Windows settings. For our test unit, it does not make sense to use the High Performance mode, since the performance gains are almost non-existent and limited to the CPU, but fans will be much louder. We used the Optimized mode for our benchmarks.

Processor

Samsung uses the new Core Ultra 7 356H (Panther Lake) with a total of 16 cores. The short-term power limit is very high at 80 Watts, but quickly drops to just 30 Watts. This means the performance in short peak load scenarios is good, but drops by around 25 % under sustained workloads. The CPU performance only drops marginally on battery power (- 5%, 60/30W).

GPU Performance

Some of the Panther Lake chips are equipped with powerful iGPUs called Arc B370/B390, but the Core Ultra 7 356H only gets the slower Arc Graphics with 4 X^e cores. The GPU can handle everyday tasks including streaming of high-definition videos with ease, but the raw performance is even worse compared to the old 8-core Arc iGPU from the Meteor Lake generation in the old Galaxy Book4 Pro. If you want to play some games, we definitely recommend the Galaxy Book6 Pro with the Core Ultra X7 358H and the Arc B390 GPU.

Emissions & Power Consumption

System Noise

The Galaxy Book6 Pro is usually a very quiet or silent companion in everyday scenarios with light workloads. The first fan levels are also pretty quiet at around 27-32 dB(A) and only maximum load or gaming will result in up to 38.4 dB(A), so it is one of the quietest models in our comparison group (except for the silent MacBook Air). In High Performance mode, we measure up to 43.9 dB(A) and only up to 29.1 dB(A) in Quiet mode. We did not notice any electronic noises on our unit.

Speakers

The four speaker system offers decent sound quality, but the competition offers better even better sound systems. The modules of the Galaxy Book6 Pro simply lack some punch, which is noticeable.

Power Consumption

The new OLED screen (2.8K, 120 Hz) is extremely efficient and the maximum idle consumption is just 4.6 Watts, which is identical to the new XPS 16 with the inferior FHD panel with 60 Hz. Under load, we can measure up to 71 Watts, even though we used a 180W PSU since our unit was shipped without a PSU. It seems that there is a limitation, because the short-term consumption should be higher considering the short-term CPU consumption of 80 Watts. The consumption quickly levels off at ~54W.

Power Consumption

Off / Standby	0.24 / 0.52 Watt
Idle	2.5 / 4.2 / 4.6 Watt

Battery Life

The 80 Wh battery manages good battery runtimes, but keep in mind that our Wi-Fi test mainly uses bright websites, wo OLED screens are at a disadvantage compared to IPS panels. We determine more than 16 hours in our Wi-Fi test and still almost 9 hours at full brightness. The rivals manage even longer runtimes, but usually use inferior screens as well. The exception is the ThinkPad X9 15, while the Zenbook S16 does not last as long.
