Samsung Galaxy Note 6 on Release Date to Beat Galaxy S7, Note 5 with Desktop-Class Feature Upgrades?

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will feature a 5.8-inch display and a 4000mAh battery.

The minimum expectation for the Galaxy Note 6 on release date is for Samsung's sixth-generation phablet flagship to surpass what already were seen with the Galaxy Note 5 of last year and the recently rolled out Galaxy S7. The latest reports indicate that this will be case as the upcoming device will unpack with feature upgrades of desktop-class level. 

Tech blog GizmoChina reported that the Note 6 is a massive step up from both the last two flagships that Samsung has unboxed. The new phablet's main engine will be Snapdragon 823, which is a jump from the SD 820 that powers the S7 and S7 Edge. The RAM provision will be no less than 6GB, again a notable leap from the Note 6's immediate predecessors. The screen is stretched diagonally to 5.8-inch.

It is highly likely too that a version of the Galaxy Note 6 will boast of up to 256GB of internal memory and if Samsung will also bring back the microSD slot that was seen again with the S7 then the device is well-positioned to be the first mobile device with total storage capacity of more than 400GB. It is expected that like the memory expansion feature of the S7, the Note 6 will accommodate memory card with up to 200GB of memory space.

GizmoChina also claimed that Samsung's second flagship for 2016 will draw its battery juice from a 4200mAh battery, suggesting that like the HTC 10 the Note 6 will last up to days without topping up on the energy meter.

In a separate report, Android Geeks said that the Galaxy Note 6 is confirmed to unbox with the same camera system deployed with the S7 and S7 Edge. However, Samsung is said to have bumped up the Note 6 shooting prowess by including an infrared-aided autofocus module.

No doubt, the upgrade is considerable enough even as the S7 already gained tons of praises for its camera that is laced with superfast autofocus and dual pixels system. Experts have declared that both the S7 and S7 Edge are the best camera smartphones around, which likely will change once the Note 6 hits the market.

But what could prove as the biggest selling point of the Galaxy Note 6 is the prospect of the device running Android N on release date. This possibility could be the same reason that the Samsung phablet, brimming with functions and features akin to desktop setting, will debut ahead of schedule, likely as early as July 2016.
