Samsung's highly anticipated phablet flagship is making a lot of noise following the successful release of its Galaxy S7 cousin early this year. As the purported August 2 release date approaches, the South Korean tech giant is giving fans and tech buffs a teaser of the much-talked-about Galaxy Note 6 or Note 7 on its website.
As reported by Slash Gear, Samsung has a strange way of introducing the next Galaxy Note device on its website. The website shows a User Agent Profile being set up for the said device plus a link in the source revealing a basic XML info which contains model number SM-N930F. Galaxy Note 5's model number was N920 which means that N930 could be next handset model in the Galaxy Note lineup.
If naming convention is of any indication, the forthcoming device would most likely be Galaxy Note 6 unless Samsung decides to skip the entire 6th generation and go with Note 7 instead to make it at par with 7th generation Galaxy S handsets.
In another related update, Samsung may launch a single design variant of the phablet instead of two. While curved edge and flat screen handset options were offered on S6 and S7 families, recent reports suggest that the company is quite reluctant to release two options in the Note series. As per Forbes report, the sales figures of its Galaxy S-lineup cousins show that consumers generally prefer edge over flat variants. In addition, curved screen is a rarity on other devices.
Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy Note 6/7 will reportedly arrive with these specs and features (via Tech Times): 5.8-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED curved display, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow (with Android 7.0 N software update shortly), Snapdragon 823 chip, 6 GB of RAM, 12MP rear camera, and 5MP selfie snapper. Also, the company will enter mass production of handset units starting July with 5 million devices to be rolled out for August launching.
