#Note6 is bigger, will it be better?
Samsung Galaxy Note 6 release date & specifications
Samsung Galaxy Note 6 a little bit earlier than expected. One leaker has suggested it'll come at the start of August, rather than the mid-month release we had expected.
While the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge almost stretches into phablet territory, Samsung fans will have to wait for the Galaxy Note 6 for a true 2016 flagship phablet from the company.
One rumor has even suggested Samsung will skip the Galaxy Note 6 and jump to the Note 7 name for its next phablet as well. It's thought the company wants to bring it in line with the name of the Galaxy S series.
But while the Note 6 or Note 7 probably won't be with us until the tail end of 2016 we're already starting to hear rumors about it.
The Galaxy Note 6 - or Note 7 - will be announced in the week commencing August 15, but he has since received updated information suggesting it'll be announced around August 3 instead. That's a little under two weeks earlier in the year than the Galaxy Note 5 announcement.
Samsung typically launches its Galaxy Note flagships during IFA, which this year is happening in early September, so it's possible that we'll have to wait until then though.
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Note 6. Rumblings like the possibility that it will be water and dust resistant. A Weibo post echoes that claim, saying that it will be IP68 certified. That's one rumor that seems likely, given that the Samsung Galaxy S7 is.
The phone will actually look, though there's a good chance that it will bear more than a passing resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy S7, with a slim metal frame and a glass back.
Samsung Galaxy Note 6 screen
A 5.8-inch 1440 x 2560 screen, with the latter claiming the display might be curved, though apparently Samsung hasn't decided on that aspect yet.
it's going to be at least QHD, given that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is, and 5.8 inches would only be marginally bigger than that phone's 5.7-inch screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will have a 12MP camera with Super OIS Plus. Though we'd always advise taking Weibo posts with a pinch of salt. Then again,GSM Helpdesk also claims we'll get a 12MP camera, so it could be true, especially as the Galaxy S7 has the same spec snapper.
While most camera rumors are pointing to a 12MP lens PhotoRumors claims Samsung is working on a new sensor that will be between 18MP and 24MP and have a wide f/1.4 aperture, which should allow it to take in a lot of light.
The same post claims that it will have a huge 4200mAh battery, which would be far larger than the 3000mAh juice pack in the Galaxy Note 5 and slightly bigger than the 4000mAh it had previously been rumored to be.
There's talk out of China that the Galaxy Note 6 will use a 2.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 823 chip, which is so new it hasn't even been announced yet. That chip, if the rumors are right, will essentially be a slightly faster version of the Snapdragon 820, albeit with support for up to 8GB of RAM.
Various tipsters on Weibo have also claimed the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will have a Snapdragon 823 chip, along with 64GB, 128GB and perhaps even 256GB of storage.
None of the leaks so far have given a clear idea of price for the Samsung Galaxy Note 6. We'd expect a similar price to the Galaxy Note 5 though, which didn't come cheap. In the US the phone retailed at aboutUS$700 on day one, so we'd expect over £500 or AU$950.
