Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will offer the same color options as the Galaxy S5, according to the latest tweet of reliable tipster @evleaks.

The current Samsung Galaxy S5 is offered in four color options such as charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold. However, it is still unconfirmed whether the handset will be housed in the same faux leather casing or new metal case.

On the other hand, latest reports claimed that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be released on Sept. 25. A leaked image spotted on a German patent hinted the possible launch date of the phablet.

According to PhoneArena, which cited web site Samdownloads, the photo of the said German patent showed the date  as September 25 -which hints the big reveal of the upcoming tablet-smartphone hybrid. Various industry sources previously claimed that Samsung's new smartphone will be released on the said date.

The image also suggested that the Galaxy Note 4 will have a new lock screen in which users need to swipe his/her finger away from the center in order to unlock the phone.

Other rumored features of the phablet include: quadHD screen display with 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, 64-bit processor, Android 4.4.3 Kitkat operating system, 3GB RAM, 3 megapixel front-facing camera.

Just like its predecessors, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will most likely be available in two variants packing different processors. The international version distributed in Asia and Europe will come with Exynos chipset, while the handset being sold to U.S. will pack the latest Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor.

Reports claimed that the handset will head to production this month in order to meet the supposed release date in September. It was initially reported that the handset will be launched at its usual platform at the IFA 2014 event in Berlin kicking off on Sept. 3. However, the South Korean manufacturer has not announced anything yet.
