According to Chrome Unboxed, an update from Chromium Gerrit suggests that Samsung’s upcoming next-generation Chromebooks will be equipped with a display with adaptive color capabilities.
This technology will allow the device to automatically adjust the color and temperature of the screen according to the surrounding light conditions, rather than relying on manual settings. While existing Chromebooks don’t usually have instant color tuning, the new Galaxy Chromebook Plus may sense ambient light through built-in sensors or using a camera, and adjust the display of the screen accordingly.
This sounds a lot like True Tone technology on Apple’s MacBook, which makes the screen warmer tones in darker environments and reduces eye fatigue. Samsung’s new Chromebook may use Vision Booster technology similar to that found in its Windows laptop Galaxy Book, which was originally debuted on Samsung’s flagship phones.
Vision Booster can adjust the color and brightness of the screen to suit a variety of environments, providing good visibility even in outdoor bright light. While it’s not sure whether Samsung will use True Tone-like features on this Chromebook Plus, or fully adopt Vision Booster technology (or even both), the answer may be revealed soon.
Although Samsung has not disclosed anything about the new Chromebook so far, there are rumors that it will be unveiled at the September 24 launch. At that time, Google will host a Chromebook showcase in New York City, and many people expect Samsung to unveil its new Chromebook at this event.
This Chromebook Plus is rumored to be equipped with an OLED screen of about 15.6 to 16 inches, which will make it stand out among many Chromebooks.
