The new Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha is coming in the same 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch configurations that its predecessor had. The Flex2 name is honored by a screen that can rotate 360 degrees. This is a QLED panel with 400 nits of regular brightness and 600 nits in the Outdoor mode. The screen has an FHD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). Moreover, it offers S Pen support.
