Dell XPS 15 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro

The Verdict

Both laptops share the same Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor and 512GB storage, but they diverge meaningfully in key areas. Dell's XPS 15 features a stunning 3456 x 2160 OLED touch display with 400 nits brightness across 15.6 inches, offering exceptional color accuracy and contrast for creative work. Samsung's Galaxy Book4 Pro counters with a larger 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen at 2880 x 1800 resolution and 500 nits peak brightness, plus a 120Hz refresh rate that Dell lacks. The Samsung is notably thinner at 12.5mm versus 18mm and lighter at 1.55kg versus 1.86kg, making it superior for frequent travel. Battery life favors Samsung at 15 hours versus Dell's 13 hours, though both use comparable capacity cells. Dell includes 32GB RAM versus Samsung's 16GB, providing better multitasking headroom for demanding workflows. Port selection leans Samsung's way with two USB-A ports and one USB-C (plus Thunderbolt 2) compared to Dell's single USB-A. Storage remains non-expandable on Samsung while Dell supports expansion. For content creators prioritizing display precision and RAM, the XPS 15 wins. For portable professionals valuing thinness, brightness, and refresh rate, Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro edges ahead despite less RAM.
