The Galaxy Book Flex α (alpha) convertible is finally becoming available for purchase in South Korea tomorrow, but at a much steeper price point than what Samsung announced in January.

While the mysterious device was shown running SmartThings, the app’s white interface revealed no display notch or punch-hole to speak of.
