Samsung Galaxy Note 6

1 | Bigger display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will reportedly come packed with a more vibrant display than its predecessor. According to SamMobile, the phablet will likely to sport a 5.8-inch Slim RGB AMOLED display with a Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sports a 5.7-inch display screen.

2 | 6 GB of RAM

The Galaxy Note 6 could be the first ever smartphone to come with a humongous 6GB of RAM. It may also house different processors for different markets. Just like the newly launched Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, the Galaxy Note 6 may feature both Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 chipsets depending on the market it is sold in.

3 | MicroSD card slot and storage

The Note 6 may also come equipped with a microSD card slot, which is absent in the Galaxy Note 5. The Note 6 is speculated to come with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options.

4 | Pressure-sensitive display

If the rumours are to be believed, the Note 6 will feature a pressure-sensitive display with 1,024 pressure points. Both the Samsung Note 5 and the Galaxy Note 4 have 2,048 pressure points for the S Pen. 

5 | S Pen with dual functionality

As spotted by Patently Mobile earlier this year, Samsung has filed a patent application for the S Pen with dual functionality. The US Patent & Trademark Office has published a patent application which indicates a design twist of the stylus pen. According to the patent, the S Pen can be bent mid-way and locked to be converted into a stand.

6 | Improved camera

An improved 12-megapixel camera with Super OIS (optical image stabilisation) system is expected to arrive on the Note 6. It is believed to come with a 20 percent improvement in camera stabilisation while capturing high resolution videos and pictures in low light conditions.
