The Hottest Samsung Galaxy Devices You Need for the Back-to-School Season

In classic 2020 fashion, this year’s back-to-school season is going to look a little different – from online lectures to distanced desks and online courses.

But if we’ve learned anything from this year, it’s that high-quality tech is a very helpful tool for taking care of business and taking care of ourselves.

That’s why we’ve rounded up the top Samsung devices. From Galaxy Book laptops to the new Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ , so you’ll have everything you need to get the best of both worlds this fall.

Galaxy Book Ion

It’s a stunner. The Galaxy Book Ion features QLED technology for an immersive cinematic display. It’s basically a personal movie theatre on the go. From 100% Colour Volume[1] to Sound by AKG®, the Galaxy Book Ion’s vibrant screen and sound is great for unwinding with a binge-worthy show, or presenting that big project to the class.

Did we mention it’s got a 22-hour [2] battery life on the 13.3-inch version and up to 21 hours [3] on the 15.6-inch version? This baby is made for long days of working or creating, with a super-slim design so you can take it anywhere. The screen can be tilted to elevate the keypad for a more comfortable angle. Plus, you can wirelessly charge your Qi-compatible devices on the trackpad itself.

But our favourite feature might be the Galaxy Book Ion’s ability to connect easily to other Galaxy devices for optimal productivity. You can mirror your Android devices including the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G screen and notifications on the Galaxy Book Ion’s display while quickly syncing photos and texts. It has fast responsiveness and a powerful processor that’s built for multi-tasking. And with up to 512GB of storage on the 15.6 inch version256GB on the 13.3-inch version and security features, you’ll be locked and loaded to work hard and play hard.

Price: Starting at $1,699.99 CAD.

Galaxy Book Flex

This one is called Galaxy Book Flex for a reason. The features embedded in the convertible 2-in-1 design means it seamlessly switches from a laptop to a tablet, so you can tackle your to-do list with flexibility and ease. The Galaxy Book Flex helps reduce the amount of equipment you need to take with you on the go and has a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, so you can take notes or sketch ideas like you would on paper. You can even use gestures to control the volume or start slideshows – from several meters away. Yep, you read that right.

Window’s latest operating system, Windows 10 Home OS, is built into the Galaxy Book Flex, and features your favourite applications to help bring assignments to life. Galaxy Book Flex also 512GB of storage, and comes with a fast-charging battery that lasts over 20 hours [4], and a lightning-speed 10th generation Intel® CoreTM i5 (13.3” model) and i7 (15.6” model) processor. In other words, it’s made for getting things done.

Best of all, Galaxy Book Flex provides you with an incredible canvas. It transforms from a laptop to a tablet in just one swivel. Its touchscreen is colourful and convenient, whether you’re creating a template, sketching or shopping during class (no judgement). It even has Quantum Dot technology so your display stays vibrant even when you’re outside [5]. And to top it all off, you can save time by pairing your Galaxy Book Flex easily with other Galaxy devices like your Galaxy Buds Live!

Price: Starting at $2,199.99 CAD.

Galaxy Book S

The Galaxy Book S is our top pick for students who want easy portability and convenience in one lightweight device. It may only weigh a little over two pounds, but this laptop has the storage and battery life to house large files (and even full movies) so you can take them with you on the go.

With security features backed by Windows Hello, you can use a fingerprint sensor to unlock your Galaxy Book S without having to enter a password! The Galaxy Book S has Wi-Fi 6 [6] capabilities that provide empowered, efficient and fast internet without having to compete for a network connection with other devices. It’s safe to say this device is speedy and portable for students and workers who are on the go and tackling important tasks. It boasts up to 20 hours [7] of power, so you can leave your charger at home and still stay connected. Best of all, the Galaxy Book S integrates seamlessly with your Galaxy Note20 5G Ultra, so you can text right from your PC.

Price: Starting at $1,299.99 CAD.

Galaxy Tab S7 & S7+

At the end of the day – especially in 2020 – we all need a little quiet “me time” time to recharge and do what we love. That’s why our favourite Galaxy devices for staying relaxed, creative and inspired this fall are the brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+.
