Samsung Galaxy Book Pro lineup certified for excellent gaming performance
On April 28, 2021, Samsung introduced its new laptops, the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360. These new PCs offer several high-profile features, OLED displays, S Pen support, powerful performance, better connectivity across devices, and much more.
According to the info, Samsung Display has recently announced that the world’s leading certification company SGS certified the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360’s OLED for gaming performance. SDS’s test result revealed that both of these laptops showed a blur length below 1.4mm and the moving picture response time below 15.4ms.
These two standards are crucial to enjoying dynamic and fast-paced action games. At the same time, a laptop featuring an LCD screen with the same specs showed the maximum 2.1mm blur length and the 26.4ms moving picture response time, while it’s HDR contrast ratio, resulted in over 1,000,000:1.
The South Korean display maker pointed out that fast-paced video games that require higher performance often suffer degradations in image quality when played on a display with a long blur length, which could harm the user experience.
“OLED has a very wide range of contrast thus offers a more immersive gaming experience for consumers who favor dynamic, flamboyant games,” said Samsung Display.
Apart from this, Samsung Display’s new OLED panels have also certified for a cinematic experience with its wide color gamut (120% of DCI-P3) and its low-luminance expression capability below 0.0005 nits.
Choi Soon-ho, director at Samsung Display said, “As people spend more time home, laptop has become the go-to device not only for web-surfing and word-processing but also for watching movies and sports game and playing video games. OLED is the very display that could meet consumers’ various needs.”

Samsung’s latest OLED tech could debut in the Google Pixel 9 series. The next-gen Pixel flagships would outshine Samsung’s S24 Ultra in terms of display. It’s almost confirmed that the Google Pixel 9 series will use OLED based on the Samsung M14 material.
Featuring Samsung M14 OLED, Google Pixel 9 will become the best phones in terms of display quality. More upgrades like new camera sensors and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader could also be included in the upcoming smartphones.
A source inside Google (via AndroidAuthority) disclosed key details. M14 is Samsung’s latest OLED display technology, set to foster the Pixel 9 series. The new iteration offers better brightness and longevity, giving the Pixel 9 an edge over current flagships.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro lineup will also induct Samsung’s M14 OLED. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 series, released earlier this year, features the M13-based OLED. There are various advantages of the upgraded panel coming in Pixel 9.
Google’s Pixel 9 would get a 1,800-nit display, while the Pro and Pro XL screens could peak at up to 2,050-nit. It’s worth noting that the company lists HDR values for full-screen brightness, so localized peak brightness values will be even higher.
Samsung could introduce the Galaxy S25 series in January next year. The company’s next-gen flagships will likely feature the new OLED display tech. Meanwhile, its biggest rivals are utilizing the latest display technology in 2024 itself.
Google is gradually increasing its presence in the global smartphone market. The company is seriously expanding its mobile business. The next year’s Pixel phones would be equipped with 3nm processors manufactured by TSMC.
Samsung’s latest foldable phones come with Google Messages by default. The company has now revealed the reason behind this move on Galaxy devices. Samsung says Google Messages replaced Messages to foster RCS adoption.
According to AndroidAuthority, a source explained Samsung’s decision to switch to Google Messages as the default messaging app. The recently released Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 come with Google Messages with RCS enabled by default.
Looks like promoting Google Messages on Galaxy devices will boost RCS adoption. Samsung Messages isn’t already installed on newer phones. However, one’s stopping you from getting it on your Galaxy from the Galaxy Store.
While many apps support the RCS feature, Google Messages offer the best user experience. Making it a default messaging app is an effort to boost the adoption of RCS tech. Apple is also preparing to bring RCS chat functionality to iMessage for iPhones.
What Samsung source said:
- Even if messaging apps follow the RCS standard, the availability may be limited depending on which app the other party uses. That’s why we decided to make Google Messages the common messaging platform, allowing Galaxy users to communicate more freely. This also enables a messaging app to respond to changes of the RCS standard more quickly and efficiently.
Previously, Samsung devices launched in the US came with two messaging apps. This time, the company has removed the Samsung Messages. During the first setup, users are notified that Google Messages is the default messaging application.
