The tech world awaits for the unveiling of the upcoming high-end flagship phablet from the Korea-based company Samsung, but as the big day nears, a hot rumor revealed that the new Galaxy Note 6 (Galaxy Note 7) will not have a pre-installed Android N OS.
Contrary to initial reports that Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will be one of the first few devices powered by Google's newest operating system, Sam Mobile reported a leaked user agent profile that shows there will be no running or pre-installed Android N on the upcoming handset.
The leaked profile of the upcoming Samsung flagship device showed Galaxy Note 6 model SM-N930A will be powered by the existing Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system.
It can be noted that the California-based tech giant Google has given no official name for its upcoming operating system, yet. Even though there is a developer preview for the Android N that was released in April, there is no announcement yet about the a new OS, which will be the major update after the release of Android Marshmallow in 2015.
Aside from the leaked user agent profile, Samsung Galaxy Note 6 has been subject to several rumors, as mobile enthusiasts awaits its expected first week of August release. One of which is that it will not be called Note 6, but Galaxy Note 7, as shown in a photo tweeted by Steve Hemmerstoffer.

The image leaked, which originated in China, shows a number 7 and "THE NEXT NOTE" text content. This revelation contradicts rumors that Samsung's Note 5 follow-up will be called Galaxy Note 6, and this will be the first time that Samsung will skip a number on its slate, ET News reported.
Galaxy S series, for instance, has started from 1 and is now in its 7th device. The hit Samsung slate has started since 2010 and it has not skipped any number yet.
The Korea-based mobile giant said they decided to name the next note to Galaxy Note 7 inorder to augment and continue the fame received by its latest premium smartphone, the Galaxy S7. The decision also aims to be consistent and to create a coherent number series for the Samsung's high-end mobile and phablet series.
