The Note 6 is said to be released with two versions of its processor. One Note 6 model will reportedly carry an Exynos 8890 processor while the other one will run on a Snapdragon 820 chipset. When compared to the freshly released Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, the Note 6 is said to have a much larger screen size with 2560 x 1440-pixel AMOLED display found in Galaxy S II.

When it comes to its memory capacity, the Note 6 will offer a whopping 6 GB RAM. If this rumor proves to be true, Samsung will be the first in the smartphone industry that will bring such capacity to its device. As for its storage capacity, International Business Times stated that the Note 6 will be offered in three variants: 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB.

A microSD slot will also be offered. This feature was discontinued in previous models of the Galaxy series, the Galaxy S6 and Note 5. It was revived for Galaxy S7 so it's likely that Note 6 will also adopt the feature. For the camera, reports mentioned that Note 6 will likely have a 12-megapixel main camera.

Perhaps one of the most interesting rumored features of the Note 6 is its ability to be converted into a laptop. Samsung's upcoming phablet is said to have a hybrid feature that turns the device into a laptop or even a desktop when docked with a keyboard.

Note 6 is also rumored to be powered with a 3500 to 4000 mAh battery. It's likely that the battery will be non-removable, although a lot of people have expressed that they'd want the new Note device to have a removable one.

These features are still in the rumor category, but if they are indeed true, Galaxy Note 6 could be the next big thing from Samsung.

The tech company has not announced an exact release date for Note 6, but it's speculated that it will be released in August at the consumer electronics trade, the 2016 Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA).
