Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rumors: Phablet to be first to sport 4K display?

It has only been a month since Samsung released the Galaxy Note 4, but the Internet is already buzzing about what could be the surprises packed in the upcoming Note 5. Rumors claim that next year's phablet will be the first smartphone to pack a 4K pixel resolution on its screen display.

Although the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is still far off, there are murmurs that the smartphone will be amazing. Gossips claim that it will sport a 5.9-inch Ultra HD Super AMOLED display with 700+ ppi pixel density.

This is not impossible as the Korean tech giant already released TV sets with 4K resolution. The company also announced early this year that it is working on other devices with such display. This means that the smartphone will sport a 3480 x 2160 resolution. Samsung's timeline also revealed that UHD screens are up for launch in 2015. The company is still on track after it released the QHD displays this year.

Aside from an amazing screen display, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will also pack a more powerful processor. It's speculated that the phablet will be powered by a Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 to be paired with 4 GB of RAM. At the back, the smartphone will sport a 21-megapixel shooter, and it will have a 6-megapixel front-facing camera with full HD capture. The device will also sport a 4000 mAh battery with ultra-battery saver mode feature.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 release date will most likely be at around the same time that the Galaxy Note 4 hit the market.

In related news, there have also been whispers that the alleged successor to the current Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S6, will pack a 4K resolution, like the Note 5. The company will reportedly increase the pixel resolution to compensate for the device's screen panel, which will be of the same size as its predecessor.

However, Samsung has not commented yet on the rumors pertaining to the Note 5 or the S6.
