At CES 2026, Samsung introduced its Galaxy Book6 lineup, powered by Intel’s latest 18A Core Ultra Series 3 chips. Now, a new variant is quietly stepping into view. This time, Samsung is preparing an ARM-based option under its “Edge” branding, adding a fresh direction to its premium laptop range.
Early details surfaced after Cyberport briefly listed the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Edge on its website. The listing points to a base 16-inch model with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. The price stands at €2,200, placing it firmly in the high-end category.
The device runs on the Snapdragon X2 Elite, specifically the X2E-88-100 version. It packs an 18-core CPU, including 12 prime cores and 6 performance cores. Graphics come from the XE-90 GPU clocked at 1.7GHz. The system uses LPDDR5X memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 152GB/s bandwidth. In addition, all X2 Elite chips include an 80 TOPS NPU, designed for AI tasks in Windows 11.
Samsung pairs this hardware with a 16-inch OLED display. The panel offers a 2,880 x 1,800px resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is not a touchscreen, but it features an anti-glare coating and reaches 500 nits of brightness.
The Galaxy Book6 Edge keeps a slim profile. It measures just 12.3mm thick and weighs 1.55kg. Despite this, it carries a 61.8Wh battery that can last up to 22 hours. However, Samsung has not confirmed a smaller 14-inch version yet.
For ports, the laptop includes HDMI 2.1, two USB 4.0 ports, and one USB 3.2 Type-A port. It also features a headphone jack and a microSD slot. Wireless connectivity supports tri-band Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. A fingerprint reader and a 1080p webcam are also included.
While Samsung has not made the Edge model official, pricing for Intel-based versions is already available in Europe. The 16-inch Galaxy Book6 Pro starts at €1,900. Meanwhile, the standard 16-inch Galaxy Book6 begins at €1,250. The base model uses an IPS LCD, while the Pro and Ultra variants come with OLED displays.
