Samsung Galaxy Note 6: Tipster Leaks Rumored Release Date; Phone To Sport 6GB RAM, Retina Scanner?
According to famous tipster Evan Blass, the device may be coming out sometime in August.
Several Samsung fans were impressed with the Galaxy Note 5 that released last year. That is why many are wondering when its successor, the Galaxy Note 6, will hit the market. There is no official announcement from the South Korean tech giant yet, but according to famous tipster Evan Blass, the device may be coming out sometime in August.
Blass, who is known as @evleaks on Twitter, posted that the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will be released in the U.S. in the week of Aug. 15, which is a few days earlier compared to the schedule for its predecessor last year. One follower replied to his post, saying that if Blass' information is correct, it would be the first time that the device will be launched outside of Europe. Samsung has traditionally unveiled the line in Berlin during the IFA. Blass then answered that since there is no Edge+ version of the device, there's a possibility that the Galaxy Note 6 will not be made available globally.
The details are yet to be confirmed, though, so fans who are looking out for the device will have to stay tuned for it. As for the specs of the upcoming handset, there have been a lot of rumors about it.
Tech Times detailed that the Chinese website Weibo claimed the Galaxy Note 6 will sport a 5.8-inch QHD display with 2650 x 1440 pixels resolution. The device may also be equipped under the hood with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and Adreno 530 GPU.
Rumors also suggest that there will be an upgrade to the fingerprint scanner technology of the newest Galaxy Note device. A retina scanner is said to be incorporated, which allows scanning of the owner's eyes for confirmation. It will only unlock if the person holding is the owner. Moreover, iDigital Times reported that there will be camera improvements as well. A USB Type-C port is also expected.
None of the details released are official yet, so it's best to take reports with a grain of salt.
