As rumors surfaced that the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 on release date is packed with jaw-dropping hardware specifications, the Galaxy Note 4 with 32GB of internal memory tempts phablet fans with its sticker price down to $300. Is the Note 6 rollout imminent as deals on the old models are becoming aplenty?
The latest irresistible Samsung flagship offering comes from the Daily Steals, Android Authority reported, that brought down the Galaxy Note 4 price tag several hundred dollars from the original price point. When the Note 4 came out in 2014, the asking price was as high as $1000, the report noted.
And the tag was fully justified as the Note 4 then was packed with hardware specs and features that easily overwhelm the competition. The 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display was the best at that time and can still match up with its 2015 and 2016 rivals.
The specific Note 4 that Daily Steals sells is on Verizon has a 32GB built-in memory that is expandable by up to 128GB, thanks to a microSD slot. The firepower is provided by Snapdragon 805 with support of 3GB RAM. The on-board GPU is Adreno 420. The battery juice comes from a massive enough battery pack of 3220mAh.
Topping the impressive specs is the camera combo of 16-megapixel on rear and 3.7-megapixel on front, which should prompt for a quick buy decision.
However, one might want to wait a bit for the Galaxy Note 6 that according to reports will get unpacked as early as July this year. And if fresh rumors are to be believed then the sixth-generation original phablet from Samsung promises to be a compelling buy.
SamMobile has reported, picking from a Weibo post, that the Note 6 is shaping up as the most powerful and fastest Android flagship ever, easily defeating its Galaxy S7 sibling. As the S7 runs on the tandem of SD 820 and 4GB of RAM the upcoming phablet is said to double down on the processing might.
When unboxed, the Galaxy Note 6 will rock a 64-bit 2.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 823 processor with a mind-boggling 8GB of RAM provision. The package is completed by a very able Adreno 530 GPU, thus rendering the next Samsung phablet with computing might that is virtually desktop class.
This new rumor from China runs in counter with the earlier report that the Note 6 will mostly mirror the feature upgrades seen with the Galaxy S7. It could still be the case as the phablet is likely to borrow the waterproofing, microSD slot and other feature add-ons that the S7 was delivered with.
And as suggested above, the wait for the Galaxy Note 6 will not last for too long as Samsung has reportedly set the release date of its second 2016 flagship no later than July with one huge bonus - the likelihood of running on near-stock Android N.
