While much of Samsung’s attention is likely focused on the imminent arrival of the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Buds Pro, a new leak suggests that Samsung is also preparing for the release of its next Chromebook.
After posting a rumor a few weeks ago about a new Samsung Chromebook, well-known leaker Evan Blass has recently returned with a very official looking product photo for the Galaxy Chromebook 2. As with the original Galaxy Chromebook Samsung released this early on years at CES, The claimed Galaxy Chromebook 2 again seems to have a 2-in-1 design with very thin bezels and a pair color options, including a bright red or orange paint job.
When it was first announced at CES 2020, the original Galaxy Chromebook impressed with its $ 1,000 starting price, premium aluminum design, and support for great features like a 4K OLED display and built-in stylus support, both of which are rare to find on an average budget. focused Chromebook.
Unfortunately, there is only one image to go with this latest leak, so there is not much more to be gained from the photo on the right the inclusion of at least one USB-C port, a headphone jack, which looks like a microSD card reader, and a side-mounted volume rocker.

I would also expect Samsung to keep S Pen stylus support on the first Galaxy Chromebook as that would be in line with a recent blog post created by Samsung’s mobile chef, TM Roh, stating that Samsung “has focused on people’s favorite aspects of the Galaxy Note experience and is excited to add some of the most loved features to other devices in our range.”
Unfortunately, additional information about the Galaxy Chromebook 2’s components, price, or release date is still unknown, so we’ll have to wait for more leaks or an official announcement to find out more. That said, judging by the timing of this leak and the original Galaxy Chromebook’s debut at CES 2020, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Galaxy Chromebook gets a good announcement at CES 2021, which kicks off (pretty much, of course) on Jan. 11.
