The Galaxy Note 6 release date has been widely speculated ever since Samsung released its Galaxy Note 5 in August this year.
The Galaxy Note 6 rumors don't really come as a surprise since its predecessor received successful reviews after just a few weeks in the market, according to The Gospel Herald.
Naturally, fans expect the Galaxy Note 6 to be better, and they wanted to know when Samsung's next flagship will be released.
Below is a roundup of various rumors surrounding the Galaxy Note 6.
Release Date
According to iGalaxyS7, the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 could be released by August to September 2016, in keeping with Samsung's consistent launch months for its Note Series. The website adds that the much-awaited device is highly likely to launch alongside the Galaxy S7 Series at the IFA 2016 event.
Specs
According to Tech Times, the Galaxy Note 6 could be a phablet hybrid fitted with pretty powerful specs, most notably with a 3.1 GHz 16-core processor known to boost performance comparable to a laptop's. Other specifications expected from the smartphone is an Exynos+ Snapdragon Chipset, 8 GB Ram.
Fueling speculations is a patent leaking plans on the handset, according to Patently Mobile. The report claims that the Galaxy Note 6 will have a "phablet dock" allowing for a small keyboard to be attached. The dock will allow switching from the Android OS to the Windows 10 OS, another big innovation from the South Korean giant if true.
Display
Another Galaxy Note 6 major rumor is of the device's display, which could become flexible. This rumor reportedly came from previous rumors on the Note 4 suggesting the same feature. Since that didn't come into fruition, fans are awaiting the said feature on the Note 6.
According to Vine Report, another hyped Galaxy Note 6 display detail is that it will sport either a 6-inch or a 6.2-inch screen with remarkable 4k resolution.
Camera
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 6 camera is rumored to be 30 megapixels which will come with Britecell Camera technology while the front camera is said to have 8 megapixels. The Britecell tech is the same feature anticipated in the Samsung Galaxy S7.
According to Value Walk, the tech, which should improve camera sensitivity especially in low light conditions, was revealed at the 2015 Samsung Electronics Investor Forum.
Other Features
Other rumored Galaxy Note 6 features include a fingerprint scanner, fast wireless charging, Micro SD card support ranging from 32, 64 to 128 GB; compass, blood pressure and heart rate sensors, barometer and thermometer, according to Christian Today.
While all the aforementioned Samsung Galaxy Note 6 specs and features sound enticing, these reports should be taken with a grain of salt since Samsung has not released an official statement on the device.
