The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 release date has been confirmed August 15, at least in the United States, with reports indicating too that the sixth phablet flagship from South Korea is likely to be introduced in July or the month that the device was supposed to come out. No specs and pricing details have been provided.
According to Evan Blass, also known as gadget news leaker @evleaks, the Galaxy Note 5 will get its sequel on the same month that it came out last 2015, which is August and possibly no later than the 15th of the month. Blass tweeted:
Samsung Galaxy Note 6 US release scheduled for week of August 15th.

The @evleaks tweet, however, was unclear if the Note 6 August rollout is of global scale or merely involves the U.S. and key markets like North America, Western Europe, Australia and parts of Asia. There was no indication too if Samsung plans first to release the Galaxy Note 6 to its home and adjacent markets - South Korea, China and Japan.
Also, the new Blass scoop is wanting on details such as the device specifications. Thankfully, the rumors on this respect are quite aplenty. As reported by 9to5Google, the Note 6 is tipped to sport a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a likely 4K screen resolution. The power within is the enhanced Galaxy S7 main engines - Snapdragon 823 and an overclocked Exynos 8890 - with up to 6GB of RAM support.
To juice up the massive Note 6 component upgrades, Samsung is said to deploy the new phablet with a whopping 4000mAh battery that promises at least two days uninterrupted operation.
The Galaxy Note 6 is expected too to mirror a number of the GS7 feature upgrades that actually are mobile functionalities seen in previous Samsung flagships. Waterproofing and dust protection should be part of the deal as well as a microSD slot. The latter will potentially make the Note 6 the first device to have local disk space of up to 400GB+.
The Note 6 camera combo will be pretty much of the same S7 shooting specifications - 12-megapixel on the rear and 5-megapixel on front with the expected hardware and software specs such as enhanced aperture, bigger pixels and stupid fast autofocus. The package will likewise include USB Type-C port and iris scanner to complement the fingerprint reader.
Out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will reportedly rock Android N or the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, which was rumored as the chief reason the device was set for an earlier 2016 release date.
