Galaxy Note 4 Rumors: Device's Processor Could Be Announced by Samsung Soon
Samsung took to Twitter this week tease an announcement for its upcoming Exynos SoCs and the Exynos 5433 that will power the upcoming Galaxy Note 4.
The company used a similar strategy when it announced the Exynos 5410 octa-core chip two months before launching the Galaxy S4, which featured the new component. There are no official details on the chip at this time, however, Sam Mobile reports that it will feature an Intel XMM7260 Cat. 6 modem for LTE connectivity which will bring support for the ultra-fast internet standard to Samsung's in-house SoC.
This will also enable the company to launch the Exynos variant of the Note 4 in the countries that would normally receive the Snapdragon variant.

An inside source in Korean media recently revealed that the Galaxy Note 4 release date will be in September 2014.
The news comes as no big surprise since the company normally drops its new flagship phablet around this time of year. Samsung is expected to announce the device at IFA in Berlin which runs from 5th to the 10th of Sept. It will go on sale shortly after that.
The source also claims that the Note 4 is about to go into mass production. The process is scheduled to begin between now and July.
A device believed to be the Galaxy Note 4 was recently run through AnTuTu benchmark tests. The results pointed to the phablet being 15 percent faster than the Note 3. This very same data was used last week to determine the specs that will appear on the Note 4 and it also reveals the difference in processing power with both of the upcoming models and current versions.
Two versions of the Note 4 will launch, according to the data with one model packing the Exynos 5433 chip and the other with a Snapdragon 805. The benchmarks show that the Exynos 5433 is the faster of the two, but even with that, the Snapdragon 805 bests the 801 and 800 by at least 15 percent. Those older chips can be found in the Note 3.
