Samsung is expected to unveil its first laptop featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite processor later today. This upcoming laptop is called the Galaxy Book 4 Edge, and its pricing and specifications were leaked over the past week. Now, details regarding the laptop's Bluetooth connectivity have been revealed.
Galaxy Book 4 Edge features Bluetooth 5.4
Ahead of the launch, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge appears to have passed through the Bluetooth SIG certification. According to the Bluetooth certification authority's database, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge has model number NP940XMA and features Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. This upcoming laptop likely uses the Snapdragon X Elite chipset's FastConnect 7800 subsystem for wireless connectivity. It features a built-in 5G modem, GPS, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB 4.0 (Thunderbolt 3).
This listing also reveals that the Galaxy Book 4 Edge runs Windows 11. Previously leaked images of the laptop have revealed that its 14-inch version has a tenkeyless keyboard layout, a large trackpad, two USB 4.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The 16-inch version has a full-sized keyboard with a numpad, a USB Type-A port, and a microSD card slot in addition to all the ports on the 14-inch version.
Galaxy Book 4 Edge pricing and specifications
Both laptops feature the Snapdragon X Elite processor with 12 CPU cores and the Adreno GPU. However, the 14-inch version might use a variant of the Snapdragon X Elite with a lower clock speed for the CPU and the GPU. Both laptops reportedly feature 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. It is unclear if these laptops will be available with higher RAM and storage capacities.

According to some reports, the Galaxy Book 4 Edge Pro (16-inch) can last up to 22 hours on a single charge for video playback. This laptop version uses a 61.8Wh battery and features 65W fast charging. However, these figures are for offline 1080p video playback (150 nits screen brightness and Airplane Mode turned on). Real-life battery life will likely be half of the quoted figures, but even that is impressive.
The 14-inch version of the Galaxy Book 4 Edge will likely have a smaller battery. Both variants feature Super AMOLED screens with 3K resolution and 400 nits peak brightness. They will likely come with a 120Hz refresh rate and DisplayHDR 400 certification with HDR10+ video playback capabilities.
The Galaxy Book 4 Edge might start at around $1,800, while the Galaxy Book 4 Edge Pro might cost around $2,000. These laptops are said to go on pre-order today in some countries and become available for purchase on June 17, 2024.
