A report (via official website) reveals that the company has now silently added a new variant in the lineup named Galaxy Book 5 Edge 5G for purchase on the Samsung UK website. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processor, suitable for slim and lightweight Windows laptops. This processor boosts up to 3.0GHz and is integrated with an Adreno GPU & a Hexagon NPU.
