The Celeron-powered upgrade, if that’s what you’d call it, is built upon the Nautilus board that we were convinced was going to be a detachable device.Lo’ and behold, the Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 is a convertible just like its predecessor that sports the OP1 RockChip RK3399 ARM processor.

Either way, news this week lends proof that Samsung may be building a whole new portfolio of Chromebooks to add to their ranks.

XDA Developers have uncovered a commit that shows the addition of mobile data in a new variant branded simply ‘Nautilus_LTE’.

This would be a fitting move for the Chrome community as Windows has begun the march of their “always connected” devices beginning with the ASUS NovaGo.

At first glance, the commit looks to just add LTE capabilities to the existing ‘Nautilus’ board that is the Chromebook Plus V2 but as XDA points out, there is mention of a dual-core, four-thread processor in the code.

The Celeron that powers the Plus V2 is a dual-core, two-thread processer meaning this new device could be anything from a Pentium all the way up to a mobile or low-powered Core chipset from Intel.

In my humble opinion, Chrome OS should have been leading this charge well ahead of Microsoft so it’s good to see some major OEMs finally heeding the call.
