Samsung Galaxy Book S incoming with Snapdragon 855 and Windows 10

There was a mysterious Samsung device on Geekbench running Windows with an Octa-core CPU and judging by the 2.84GHz clock it was the Snapdragon 855, now Evan Blass, a well known source for leaked information around Android products, has confirmation that a Galaxy Book S is in the works.

The Geekbench listing dosen't reveal much. What we can gather from this is the model number SM-W767, which suggests that it's a Galaxy Book 2 successor and that it supports Bluetooth 5.0. It's also upgrading from 4GB of RAM to 8GB of RAM as per the Geekbench score sheet.

keep in mind that the results from Geekbench aren't accurate as the device is clearly still in its testing stage, especially with that 32-bit OS running.

Thanks for sharing @TheGreyApe - are you interested in learning more about this one going forward? I hadn't heard of the device before, but it sounds like it'll be a big release.

@EmilieT The Galaxy Books are just a Tablet/Laptop hybrid, like the Lenovo Yoga ones

@TheGreyApe Fair enough! I wouldn't have the need for anything like that at the moment but I'll keep an eye on it too, out of curiosity at least
