After Samsung’s success with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, we all know that the South Korean smartphone giant will launch the Galaxy Note 6 in the coming months. The Galaxy Note 6 was rumored to launch in July with Android N on board, but now rumors has it that the launch is scheduled for August. There’s no doubt that the Note 6 will give direct competition to the upcoming iPhone. According to @evleaks, the Galaxy Note 6 will be released in the week of August 15 in the US.
We also know that it will be water- & dust-resistant similar to the Galaxy S7 duo. It will also feature a USB Type-C port with reversible connector, but we curently don’t know whether it will be USB 3.1 or an older standard. The USB 3.1 standard supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 for faster device charging and an ability to carry HDMI or Display Port video signals. While we knew some of the configurations, few of them are heard for the first time. According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Note 6 Lite might be a cheaper variant of Galaxy Note 6 that might have a slightly different specifications at a relatively affordable price point.
The Galaxy Note 6 is expected to carry a 5.8-inch screen (5.77 inches, to be precise), and the resolution should also be the typical 2K. The camera might come with an IR autofocus mechanism, which combined with the 12MP dual-pixel Galaxy S7 camera, will focus faster in low light and more. The Note 6 is expected to have 6GB of RAM. Also, there are rumors that the new Gear VR will be launched with the Galaxy Note 6. Even based on rumours, it wouldn’t surprise us if they are switching to USB Type-C, the current Gear VR model won’t work with it. We will have to wait to know more details as we move nearer to the launch.
