Four Must-Have Galaxy Devices for This Back-to-School Season

Back-to-school season is right around the corner, and while you may be fixated on your “first-day-back outfits” after months of leggings and matching tracksuits, we’re shifting our focus to the hot new tech from the Galaxy laptop and tablet lineup. In addition to providing you with a truly connected experience to your other Samsung Galaxy devices (a must, given our new normal), these gadgets from Samsung Canada will see you back to the classroom and workplace in style, and they’ll help you focus on whatever study hits your to-do list.

Samsung Galaxy Book Ion

We love a multi-tasker, and the Galaxy Book Ion is just that. Its vivid QLED display means you get a cinematic experience, which is great for presentations or streaming after class. Quantum Dot Technology lets you watch videos and play games even when you’re outside and 100% Colour Volume[1] makes browsing a joy. To complement its A+ display, the Sound by AKG® audio system is finely tuned delivering rich sound quality.

Forgot your charger at home and already on campus for a long day in the library? Each Galaxy Book Series laptop features a fast-charging battery. The battery of the Galaxy Book Ion 13.3” holds up to 22 [2] hours of power. You can even wirelessly charge your Qi-compatible gadgets right on the track pad with Wireless PowerShare [3] (also available on the Galaxy Book Flex).

The Galaxy Book Ion has Windows 10 Home OS built-in from the get-go. It boasts a 10th generation Intel® CoreTM processor for powerful performance, especially when sifting through all of your open tabs. Plus, you can unlock your device with ease and get on with your work – the Galaxy Book Ion reads your fingerprint with a secure built-in sensor.

Galaxy Book Ion starts at $1,699.99 for the 13.3” and at $2,099.99 for the 15.6”.

If you tend to lug around both your laptop and tablet everywhere you go, the Galaxy Book Flex is for you. This two-in-one lightweight PC, seamlessly converts from a laptop to a tablet so you can shift between tasks on-the-go or at your desk. The Galaxy Book Flex can adjust to suit your working environment and is available in a cool Royal Blue shade.

Its QLED display has touchscreen capabilities and when coupled with the S Pen (which is conveniently built in to the side of the laptop), it can act as a canvas – great for taking notes and sketching ideas on-the-go. The S Pen can also be enabled via Bluetooth, so you can control presentations or amp up the volume on its Sound by AKG® audio system from several metres away.

The Galaxy Book Flex is equipped with a speedy 10th generation Intel®CoreTM processor and holds up to 21 hours of battery life [4] on the 13.3” model, which means you can worry less about waiting for things to load or fumbling around for chargers, and get on with the work you have to do.

Galaxy Book Flex starts at $2,199.99 for the 13.3” and at $2,399.99 for the 15.6”.

This sleek laptop, which comes in Earthy Gold and Mercury Grey, may be thin (it’s the lightest computer in the Galaxy Book lineup, clocking in at just over two pounds) but it’s mighty. It comes with a long-lasting battery (up to 20 hours of power[5]) allowing you to work all day and stay focused on what you’re doing with fewer interruptions. You can even access network speeds up to three times faster than previous gen Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities [6]. Galaxy Book S also comes with two USB-C ports and studio quality sound by AKG and Dolby Atmos®.

The Galaxy Book S is also fitted with the latest Intel Core i5 processor [7 & 8], which operates at extraordinary speeds and is available with storage space that can be expanded up to an additional 1TB [9]. You can download massive files for school and full movies to watch with your friends. Finally, a PC that’s as unstoppable as you are.

Galaxy Book S starts at $1,299.99.

A Connected Experience

Like everything in the once place? All three laptops in the Galaxy Book Series offer seamless connectivity to the rest of your Galaxy products: you can access your Galaxy smartphone promptly via the Quick Panel (it syncs photos and messages and mirrors notifications).

Consider the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite a must-have accessory for fall: It’s stylish (available in Oxford Gray, Angora Blue and Chiffon Pink), affordable, and has ample screen space [10 & 11]. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is great for parents embarking on e-learning this fall or younger students looking to expand their knowledge and creativity. Its refined S Pen allows you to jot down notes (or draw), edit directly on documents and sketch ideas with ease. When used with Samsung Notes [12] it can quickly convert written memos into typed-out text for added convenience. Plus, you can consume your favourite content on-the-go, like a new game or the hottest TV show, on the Super AMOLED display. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite pairs all this with four speakers featuring sound by AKG and Dolby Atmos® to help keep you immersed in the action.

Galaxy Tab S6 Lite starts at $429.99.
