Dell XPS 13 (2025) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
Dell XPS 13 excels with a premium 13.4-inch OLED display delivering superior color accuracy and contrast at 2560x1600 resolution, paired with the efficient Core Ultra 7 265V and exceptional portability at 2.6 lbs. Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 counters with a larger 15.6-inch touchscreen in 2-in-1 convertible form factor, higher 120Hz refresh rate, stronger Core Ultra 7 155H performance (16 cores vs 8), and legacy USB-A ports. Both deliver 14-hour battery life and 16GB RAM with 512GB storage. For pure productivity and ultraportability, XPS 13's OLED display and lighter chassis dominate. However, the Galaxy Book4 360 justifies its slightly higher price through versatility, larger real estate, and superior processing power for multitasking. Choose XPS 13 for mobility and display quality; select Galaxy Book4 360 for flexibility and performance-hungry workflows.
