Tech Times reports on what we may be able to expect from the Galaxy Note 6.

“The phablet may sport a 5.8-inch slim RGB AMOLED display with a QHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. Just like the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge, the upcoming Galaxy Note 6 may be available in two variants: one with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and the other with an Exynos 8 chipset.”

The article adds that the Note 6 could come with 6GB of RAM, which is incredible for a smartphone. Tech Times also reports that Samsung is working on improving the already fantastic camera of the phablet as well.

Trusted Reviews says that the Galaxy Note 6 could actually have a 6-inch screen and a 4,000 mAh battery. There is also a rumor that the Note 6 could have its own phablet dock that turns the phablet into a small notebook. According to the article, the Note 6 could actually arrive in mid-July. Last year, the Note 5 arrived in late August and the year before, it arrived in early October.

Some of the commenters after the article are hoping for a 4K screen.

“4K display for the Gear VR tech will be essential and a vast improvement on the clarity over the current quad HD screens,” says Joe Bailey.

However, some think a 4K display could be overkill.

“I really don’t care about the 4k display on this device, I would rather have the resolution of note 5 with sharper display, and extra battery life. 4k would be overkill on such a phone,” says Realy Namey.

Samsung is hoping for a hit with the Galaxy Note 6 after the Note 5 failed to produce the same sales as previous Samsung Note devices. Still, the Note 5 arrived to excellent reviews. CNET gave the device four-and-a-half stars and praised the device for having an eye-catching design, high-end hardware, and the ability to take great outdoor photos. They loved the upgraded stylus and the terrific battery life. However, the review didn’t like the fact that the Note 5 doesn’t have a removable battery and that there are no external storage options.

Engadget also gave the Note 5 a great review.

“Samsung’s Galaxy Note series has never been for everyone, but the Note 5 just might change some minds. It’s the smallest, most comfortable version of the phablet to date, and thoughtful software tweaks make the S Pen feel way less gimmicky.”

The review adds that a great screen and top-notch performance make the device even better, but that some people will be upset by the lack of a microSD card slot and removable battery. Given that the microSD card slot returned to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, it’s likely that it will return to the Galaxy Note 6 as well.

Excitement for the Galaxy Note 6 is building on Twitter.

We should find out more about the Galaxy Note 6 soon. Based on the current rumors, would you replace your current smartphone with the Galaxy Note 6? Let us know in the comments section.
