Samsung’s Best Chromebook Ever: A Game-Changer for Education and Productivity
The Samsung Show: Winners and Losers
As the dust settles on this week’s Trusted Reviews Awards 2024, we’re left with a flurry of exciting announcements and surprising developments. This week, it’s all about Samsung – and not just because we’re fans of their sleek designs and innovative technology. No, this time around, Samsung takes center stage as both the winner and loser of the week.
Winner: Samsung (for its new Chromebook)
Chromebooks are often overlooked, but they’re an incredible value proposition for those who want a reliable, affordable laptop that gets the job done. Samsung’s latest addition to the Chromebook family, the Galaxy Chromebook Plus, is a stunner. With its slim design, 15.6-inch OLED display, and impressive battery life, this device is poised to make a big impact on the market.
Weighing in at just 1.17kg, the Galaxy Chromebook Plus is the perfect companion for students, professionals, or anyone who needs a device that’s both portable and powerful. And with features like updated Google Gemini features, including the ability to summarize PDFs and transcribe audio recordings, this Chromebook is more than just a pretty face.
Loser: Samsung (for Android 15 delays)
Android 15, the latest version of the popular mobile operating system, has had a rocky launch. While we’re excited to see the new features and improvements that come with this update, Samsung’s delay in releasing Android 15 to compatible Galaxy devices is a major disappointment.
After much speculation, Samsung finally confirmed that the Android 15 beta would be available to developers by the end of 2024. However, this means that eligible Galaxy users won’t see a public release of Android 15 until sometime in 2025. Given Samsung’s reputation for being a trendsetter in the tech world, this delay is a major letdown.
With Android 16 just around the corner, we can only hope that Samsung will learn from its mistakes and get its act together to deliver timely software updates to its users.
