With Samsung known to provide at least two flagship lineups every year, fans are already wondering about the Galaxy Note 6 for this year, since the first one – the Galaxy S7 series – has already been revealed. While details about the Note 5 follow-up are yet to be confirmed, speculations about the next Samsung flagship point to a beast of an iteration.
According to Phone Arena, one of the earliest and most-known rumors about the upcoming Galaxy Note 6 is that Samsung will be making this next flagship a hybrid powerhouse. Adding a "phablet dock" accessory, the Galaxy Note 6 is speculated to feature a massive 6GB RAM in its internals, paired with the latest Exynos chipset. Meanwhile, just like the Galaxy S7 iterations, it is also said that the Galaxy Note 6 will feature a different chipset in each of two versions. In addition to an Exynos chipset variant, Samsung will also release a Galaxy Note 6 with a Snapdragon processor.
Trusted Reviews adds that to complement the top-tier RAM and chipset features, Samsung is also reportedly planning to use its newly launched UFS 2.0 memory chips in the Galaxy Note 6. This will be great news to big data users, since the memory chips hold 256 GB of storage. Should this be proven true, an additional microSD card support (already present in the Galaxy S7) will add to massive storage for the Galaxy Note 6.
Meanwhile, Yibada says that some Galaxy S7 features will also make it to the Galaxy Note 6, adding to its growing list of improvements. Aside from microSD card support, the waterproofing and enhanced camera features of the Galaxy S7 will also make it to the upcoming Galaxy Note 6.
While Samsung has yet to come out with details about the upcoming flagship, it is expected that the Galaxy Note 6 will be unveiled in the latter part of the year, maybe as early as August.
