In an exciting development for the tech community, Samsung is gearing up to introduce its own Googlebook, joining a growing list of manufacturers embracing Google's new Android-powered laptop platform. This launch comes as Google continues to encourage the use of Android in laptop form, with reputable brands like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo already on board. The Samsung model is expected to further expand this innovative ecosystem.
The upcoming Samsung Googlebook, identified by its model number XE940XSA, recently made an appearance on Geekbench 7.1.0. While the official name of the device remains undisclosed, speculation suggests it could carry the "Galaxy Googlebook" title, although that name does evoke some curiosity regarding its branding alignment with the Galaxy Chromebook.
Geekbench Results for Samsung Googlebook (XE940XSA)
According to the benchmark results, the Samsung Googlebook is powered by the Snapdragon X Elite chipset, codenamed “Hamoa.” While some may express disappointment that Samsung opted for this chipset rather than an X2 series chip, it is worth noting that Dell and HP have also chosen to incorporate the X Elite in their respective Googlebooks. In contrast, competitors like Acer, Asus, and Lenovo have opted for the Intel Core Ultra 5 processors.
All current Googlebooks are equipped with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, a configuration that the Samsung model appears to uphold, as confirmed by Geekbench. While storage specifications remain unreported, the device operated on Android 17, distinguishing it from traditional Chromebooks. It is anticipated that Samsung will introduce One UI customizations to the standard Googlebook user interface, although visuals of these modifications have yet to be unveiled.

The Snapdragon X Elite is a cutting-edge 4nm processor boasting a total of 12 Oryon cores and an Adreno X1-85 GPU. Based on the benchmark's reported clock speeds, it's likely that the Samsung Googlebook utilizes the X1E-80-100 chip, which is also featured in Dell and HP models.
Earlier this year, Samsung debuted the Galaxy Book4 Edge, utilizing X Elite chips with the 14” model featuring the X1E-80-100 and the 16” model offering the optional X1E-84-100. Most recently, the company launched the Galaxy Book6 Edge, powered by the advanced Snapdragon X2 Elite chip (X2E-88-100).
