While both hybrids feature a sleek aluminum make and come with a stylus and keyboard cases, the Samsung Galaxy Book 12 is the higher end version with better specs than the Galaxy Book 10 – faster processor, higher screen size and resolution, and better features in general.
The 5MP front and 13 MP rear cameras in the Galaxy Book 12 are great for taking photos and offers a clearer view for video calls and conferencing. The S Pen that comes with both Galaxy Books is much more improved with its rubberized tip and a tilt detection feature. The only downside to the stylus though is that there is no slot in the tablet that will hold it.
Both tablets are geared for users who want the functionalities of a laptop in a compact device that is the tablet. As of this writing, both Galaxy Books have no price yet.
