Benchmark notes indicate the Galaxy Book4 Edge operates in a “Balanced” power mode. Industry observers suggest that switching to a more aggressive productivity mode could yield even higher performance. Additionally, there is no confirmed Samsung model branded as “Edge,” which implies that the name may be used as a sub-brand for Windows 11 devices with ARM processors.
