Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled its next-generation Galaxy Book6 series at CES 2026, showcasing a major leap in AI-powered computing with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, deeper Galaxy AI integration, upgraded AMOLED displays, improved thermal systems, and longer battery life across the lineup.
The new portfolio includes three models — Galaxy Book6 Ultra, Galaxy Book6 Pro, and Galaxy Book6 — designed to serve creators, professionals, and everyday users seeking high performance with all-day portability.
Galaxy Book6 Series: Focus on On-Device AI and Performance
Samsung positions the Galaxy Book6 lineup as its most advanced PC family to date, built around Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 3 chips, manufactured using Intel’s 18A process technology. These processors integrate CPU, GPU, and NPU into a single SoC, enabling powerful on-device AI computing without relying heavily on cloud processing.
Samsung states the integrated neural processing unit (NPU) delivers up to 50 TOPS, supporting AI features such as:
- Real-time language translation
- Image background removal
- Intelligent search and content summarization
- AI-assisted productivity workflows
Galaxy Book6 Ultra: Flagship Power With RTX Graphics
The Galaxy Book6 Ultra (16-inch) sits at the top of the range, targeting creators and power users. It pairs Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 laptop GPUs, enabling advanced workloads such as:
- AI-powered video editing
- 3D rendering and design
- Graphics-intensive creative applications
It features a 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touch display with 2880 × 1800 resolution, up to 1000 nits HDR brightness, adaptive 30Hz–120Hz refresh rate, and anti-reflective coating for outdoor visibility.
Galaxy Book6 Pro: Premium Thin-and-Light With AMOLED Displays
The Galaxy Book6 Pro is available in 14-inch and 16-inch variants, both featuring AMOLED touch displays tuned for professional productivity and media consumption.
For the first time, Samsung has introduced a vapor chamber cooling system in the Pro lineup, improving thermal efficiency and maintaining sustained performance during long work sessions. Graphics are handled by Intel Arc or Intel integrated graphics, balancing power efficiency with responsiveness.
Galaxy Book6: Mainstream Productivity Option
The standard Galaxy Book6 is aimed at everyday users, students, and office professionals. It comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes with IPS displays (1920 × 1200), powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 processors.
While it skips AMOLED panels and discrete GPUs, Samsung emphasizes lighter weight, solid battery life, and reliable performance for daily computing tasks.
Improved Thermals, Audio, and Battery Life
Samsung has redesigned cooling across the lineup:
- Galaxy Book6 Ultra features a larger vapor chamber with improved airflow and quieter fans
- Galaxy Book6 Pro models debut vapor chamber cooling for the first time
- Enhanced thermal efficiency ensures stable performance under extended workloads
Audio also sees upgrades:
- Six-speaker Dolby Atmos system with force-canceling woofers on the Ultra
- Quad-speaker systems on Pro models for clearer calls and balanced sound
Battery capacities range up to 80.2Wh, with Samsung claiming longer real-world usage compared to previous generations.
Galaxy AI and Cross-Device Ecosystem
Galaxy AI is central to the Book6 experience, enabling seamless connectivity across Samsung devices. Key features include:
- AI Select & Note Assist for smarter content handling
- Multi Control to use one keyboard and mouse across devices
- Second Screen for tablet-to-PC display expansion
- Storage Share for quick file access across Galaxy devices
Security is handled through Samsung Knox, combined with Windows 11 Secured-Core PC protections. Samsung will also offer Galaxy Book6 Enterprise Edition models for business and IT-managed environments.
Availability and Launch Timeline
Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Book6 series will roll out in select global markets starting late January 2026, while Enterprise Edition models are scheduled to arrive in April 2026.
Why It Matters
With Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, strong on-device AI capabilities, AMOLED displays, and tighter Galaxy ecosystem integration, Samsung is positioning the Galaxy Book6 series as a serious contender in the premium Windows laptop market — directly challenging rivals in the AI PC era.
