This is the key visual image of The Third Book
Essential Design, which refines a design down to the most fundamental elements of a product, serves as the basic principle for all Galaxy designs. The latest Galaxy Book3 series carries on the legacy of this Essential Design.
The Galaxy Book3 series simplifies the use of main materials in the product and focuses on just the essentials. The design has been simplified, but the performance and usability are more powerful than ever.
This article is created to help users better understand the design concept. The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may differ from the actual product. Product specifications may vary by country, region, model, and
carrier.
Flat Design
Flat design follows the principles of Essential Design and serves as a unique element of the Galaxy Book design. The refined straight lines and minimal surface finishing shown from the front captures the distinct design identity
of the Galaxy Book series without needing any symbolic elements or flashy decorations. The whole body of Galaxy Book3 is built with a singular aluminum material, which further emphasizes the product’s unwavering values and
uniformity.
Seamless Beauty
The minimalistic approaches continues in the product’s screen as well. The entire surface of the screen, even including the bezel, consists of a single glass plane that gives a refreshingly clean impression. On top of minimizing
the bezel itself, the camera and sensor are also hidden underneath the glass so that users can wholly focus on just the screen. The corners of the display are rounded, similarly to the Galaxy smartphone and tablet for visual
stability as well.
The glass plane screen applies to select models only.

Enhanced Usability
Galaxy Book3’s design is filled with elements that enhance not only the external design quality of the product, but also its usability. One of the biggest changes of Galaxy Book3 is the change in its display ratio from 16:9 to
16:10. The 16:9 display is suitable for media consumption, whereas the 16:10 ratio is better suited for productivity, such as documentation and video editing.
The change in ratio results in a larger screen, which in turns enlarges the palm rest beneath the keyboard to give ample space for a bigger touchpad. Also, it is usually difficult to support various ports while maintaining a
slim profile, but Galaxy Book3 features a full set of ports while maintaining its slimness. These great feats are results of a relentless pursuit of both form and function. Galaxy Book3 is a product with powerful performance and
intuitive usability that can help any creator turn their everyday inspirations into creative outputs.

Precisely Engineered Details
People don’t usually check underneath the laptop, but every part of Galaxy Book3 has been meticulously designed, even the parts that are usually unseen. Various components of the device, such as the speaker, antenna, air vent, and
rubber foot, are placed on the bottom of the laptop. It is important to note that plastic parts must be used when fitting in the antenna, since metal materials can interfere with the antenna’s performance.
Using different materials for different parts can tilt the overall consistency of a product’s design. Galaxy Book3 finds a solution here by combining the speaker hole and antenna cover into a single slot. It may look like any
usual speaker hole, but it actually also serves as an antenna. This is a great example of the detailed efforts of designers that were put into this product to keep Galaxy Book3’s design as unified as possible and elevate the
overall design quality.
Authentic Material
Designers searched for materials that could emphasize Galaxy Book3’s minimalistic form and carried out extensive research to land on the right color and texture to achieve Essential Design.
Galaxy Book3 features a full aluminum body. This reflects users’ needs for a laptop that is highly portable and sturdy enough to maintain its form even after lengthy use. Furthermore, designers conducted comprehensive research
to achieve ideal texture and glossiness of the metallic surface. By adding in colors that worked well with the texture, the CMF* was completed.
Color, Material, Finishing
Shades of Nature
Laptops usually have longer product lifespans, so it is important for this product to be instilled with high-class quality that can stand the test of time. Neutral colors like Graphite and Beige can effectively express the premium
look of metal, and also gives off a friendly and warm vibe that can resonate with users.
Beige, a new addition to the Galaxy Book3 series, portrays both the strength and solidity of metal while also carrying the warmth that comes from its unique tone of color, which come together to manifest into Galaxy Book3’s
distinct and exquisite look.
