As Samsung is persistently rumored to have been scheduled the Galaxy Note 6 for an earlier release date, likely by July 2016 to get way ahead of the iPhone 7 September rollout, leaks of the next-gen phablet feature upgrades are dropping down in torrents. The latest is that the Note 6 will rock a slightly bigger AMOLED display, up to 6GB of RAM and faster delivery of firmware updates.
Picking up a leaked screenshot from an unidentified Samsung insider, TechnoBuffalo reported that Samsung's next flagship phablet will unbox with a 5.77-inch or near-5-8-inch Quad HD display that beams out in 2560 x 1440 screen resolution. The measurement provided is a slight bump from the Galaxy Note 5, which unboxed with a 5.7-inch front panel.
As expected, Samsung's signature AMOLED display technology will be part of the Note 6 unpacking.
Inside the upcoming phablet, the same report said that the bigger sibling of the Galaxy S7 is powered by same mobile chip - Exynos 8890 chip that will be supported by up to 6GB of RAM. While not mentioned in the report, it is likely too that variants of the Note 6 will run on SD 820 in the same way that S7 does.
However, recent reports have suggested that Samsung might opt for a huge jump in the Note 6 computing power, which could be fired up by the tandem of Snapdragon 823 and a whopping 8GB RAM provision. This scenario though remains unconfirmed.
Yet what is certain is that the next Samsung Galaxy Note phablet will see faster or more frequent firmware update even if its operating system will remain a layered version of Google's Android. SamMobile said in a report that the Note 6 seems to be geared for release bearing identical codename and model numbers save for slight variations.
In most markets where the Galaxy Note 6 will be made available, the device codename Grace will stick plus the serial SM-N930. This is so for the new phablet to get quicker firmware updates than before, which SamMobile said Samsung already showed can be done with the Galaxy S7. It is understood that the more frequent updates will be independent of Android upgrade cycle.
The Galaxy Note 6 is all but confirmed to again skip the Berlin IFA trade show in September as its release date will likely happen in July 2016 with the package rumored to include Android N out of the box.
