Samsung is Making a New Galaxy Book6 Ultra
A new report says Samsung is working on a Galaxy Book6 Ultra, bringing back its strong laptop type after missing out on the Galaxy Book5 line. The "Ultra" name used to mean it had a strong GPU, not seen in the normal or Pro models.
What to Expect in Power and Specs
While full details are not out yet, the Galaxy Book6 Ultra should be a big step up in power from the older Galaxy Book4 Ultra. What we might see includes:
- CPU: Intel's Arrow Lake-H series.
- GPU: A Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series (Blackwell) just for this device.
This setup should make the Galaxy Book6 Ultra great for games and other heavy GPU tasks, like past Ultra models with GPUs such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 or RTX 4070.
How It Could Be Better Than Older Models
The Galaxy Book4 Ultra was known for its true-color OLED screen and strong build. But, users said it had some screen flicker and no Wi-Fi 7. The new Galaxy Book6 Ultra will likely fix these issues and include Wi-Fi 7, normal for a top model.
Why the 'Ultra' Is Coming Back
The main thing about the Ultra line was always its own GPU. The Galaxy Book5 only used Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs, which do not work with separate GPUs, so no Ultra model then. The comeback of the Galaxy Book6 Ultra shows Samsung's push to give users a strong graphic option beyond built-in chips.
When It Might Come Out
There's no set date yet for when the Galaxy Book6 or Ultra model will come out. Past models had different release times, with the Book4 in December and the Book5 in September. So, the Galaxy Book6 Ultra might launch late this year or maybe in 2026. The Ultra could also have its own special launch, apart from the rest of the Galaxy Book6 group.
