The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 drew lots of praises, which puts a lot of pressure on its successor the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Though there is no official word on what the Galaxy Note 5 will bring, expectations are definitely set on a high bar.

And among those expectations include big improvements on what the current Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has already given to consumers.

Unofficial specs have been leaked and if they are made official, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 should be a device that will not disappoint. Just consider the specs being buzzed around which in most likelihood are the actual specs if not close to the ones to be expected from it.

The first rumor has to do with the power that the Galaxy Note 5 will come out with. There are two rumors floating around, one of which is that it will come powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and aided by at least 8GB of RAM.

However another rumor has revealed that the Galaxy Note 5 will be coming out with an Exynos 7420 SoC. Hearing that Samsung is gearing up on its Exynos technology could make sense with this one although it remains to be seen if the development would come in time for the Note 5's launch.

For display, the Galaxy Note 5 is rumored to have a 3840x2160 pixel Ultra HD, 4K display which is an expected bump from the Samsung Galaxy Note 4's Quad HD resolution and Super AMOLED technology.

Samsung's patented curved technology is expected to be applied to the Galaxy Note 5 as well, something rival companies such as Apple has been applying to their own phones as well.

Storage-wise, the Galaxy Note 5 could have an increased 256GB of internal storage which would make sense given the HD resolution it features. This could help address storage issues for large files saves such as HD photos or videos.

Other features are expected to be exposed as well but all that could come in the year, before the third quarter more or less. Cameras and connectivity issues are bound to be the topic of more leaked features and Galaxy Note followers are bound to be waiting for that as the months come by for sure.
