Overview
I’ve been testing the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 alongside the Yoga 9i and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 for the past three weeks. Samsung’s display expertise is obvious the moment you open the lid. The 16-inch AMOLED panel and included S Pen make a strong package for artists, students, and anyone who cares about screen quality. At it sits between mid-range convertibles and the premium ThinkPad X1 2-in-1, offering flagship display technology at a competitive price.
Display
The 16-inch 2880x1800 AMOLED panel is the reason to buy this laptop. Samsung makes some of the best displays in the world, and I felt that immediately. Colors are vibrant with 120% DCI-P3 coverage. Blacks are perfectly inky with infinite contrast. The 120Hz refresh rate makes everything from scrolling to pen input feel fluid.
Peak HDR brightness hits 500 nits, more than enough for HDR video content. The 16:10 aspect ratio provides extra vertical space that’s noticeable in documents and web browsing. I compared this display directly with the Yoga 9i and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1, and at this price, no other 2-in-1 comes close.
S Pen Experience
Samsung includes the S Pen in the box, saving you the additional that competitors charge for their stylus. The pen supports 4096 pressure levels with tilt detection, making it capable for sketching, note-taking, and document annotation. I used it daily for meeting notes and found the latency low enough for handwriting to feel natural.
The downside is storage. There’s no built-in garage or silo for the pen. It magnetically attaches to the side of the laptop, and it holds reasonably well on a desk. In a bag, it will detach. I lost track of it twice before buying a separate case. Plan for that.
Performance
The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V handled my productivity workloads and light creative tasks without issue. Web browsing, Office apps, video calls, casual photo editing in Lightroom. All smooth. The integrated Intel Arc graphics can handle light GPU tasks, but anything involving serious rendering, 3D modeling, or video export will expose its limits fast.
The 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM is adequate for general use, but it’s disappointing. Competitors like the Yoga 9i and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 offer 32 GB at similar or slightly higher prices. I noticed the ceiling during heavier multitasking sessions, and it bothered me every time.
Battery Life
The 76 Wh battery is the largest in this comparison, and Intel’s Lunar Lake platform is efficient. I got 9 to 10 hours of mixed productivity use, which is impressive for an AMOLED display at this size. The charger supports 65W USB-C fast charging, getting from 0 to 50% in roughly 30 minutes.
The Bottom Line
The Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 has the best display you can get in a 2-in-1 at this price. The AMOLED panel is genuinely exceptional, and the included S Pen adds real value. The 16 GB RAM limitation is the main compromise, and I wish Samsung hadn’t made it. If you’re a student, artist, or media-focused user who prioritizes screen quality and pen input, this is an excellent choice. Power users who need 32 GB RAM should look at the Yoga 9i or ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 instead.
