The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 could be one of 2016's biggest smartphones, so it's time to get excited. Here's everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 6, including the Galaxy Note 6 release date, specs, features and price.
While most Samsung fans are beholden to the Galaxy S-series, the Samsung Note handsets have successfully carved out a niche of power users. That's because Note handsets are big, powerful and feature-heavy – just the way we like them.
The good news is that Samsung is rumoured to be plotting a mid-August launch for the Galaxy Note 6. That release date was tipped by reliable leaker Evan Blass, and seems likely. After all, the previous two Galaxy Note handsets launched in August. However, this rumour does contrast with previous speculation that Samsung was actually working towards a mid-July release.
A recent leak out of China – via social media network Weibo – suggested that the Galaxy Note 6 specs would be as follows:
5.77-inch display2K (QHD) screen resolutionQualcomm Snapdragon 823 processorAdreno 530 GPU6GB RAM256GB storage4,200mAh batteryIP68-certified waterproof/dustproof body
However, Samsung is yet to reveal any official details about the Galaxy Note 6, so there is a chance that the device doesn't even exist. Nevertheless, we've rounded up the latest in news, rumours, and leaks – plus a healthy helping of speculation to boot.

Samsung is inconsistent when it comes to Galaxy Note release dates, so it makes the next one difficult to guess. The most recent rumour – via @Evleaks – points to a mid-August reveal. That contradicts early reports from South Korean media that pointed to a mid-July launch instead.
Until more specific details are released, our best guess is either August (most likely) or September (less likely) – maybe October, at a push.
That’s based on previous launches, which were as follows:
Galaxy Note 5 – 21 August (release)
Galaxy Note 4 – 13 August (reveal), October (release)
Galaxy Note 3 – 4 September (reveal), 23 September (release)
Whatever the case, it seems likely that a Galaxy Note 6 is in the pipeline. That’s according to two reports (TechRadar, Forbes) that cite an unnamed source at a major UK phone network as saying:
“Samsung isn’t going to launch the S7 Edge+ in the UK. I got the impression that it had been a bit of a disappointment sales-wise and that the decision to keep the Note 5 out of Europe is now considered a mistake. So our information is that the Note 6 will launch in the UK in August and that there will be no S7 Edge+.”
When asked for comment, Samsung told us: “We can’t comment on these types of article, which are based on rumour and speculation.”

There are plenty of upgrades rumoured for the Galaxy Note 6, although we don’t have any official details just yet.
First, it’s tipped to include a 6-inch 4K/UHD display, which seems ludicrous for a smartphone – but this is the Note, after all.
Then there’s talk of serious memory upgrades. Most notably, it’s suggested we’ll see 6GB of RAM, plus hyper-fast UFS 2.0 memory on a 256GB chip.
Excitingly, there's also a rumour that the Galaxy Note 6 will feature Google's new Android N as its launch software.
Further details are sure to leak over time, so bookmark this article and check back for regular updates on what to expect from the Galaxy Note 6.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 6 SPECS
Samsung tends to use a split strategy for its smartphone processors; different chips will feature in different markets.
It’s rumoured that the Galaxy Note 6 will run on a custom-built Exynos 8890 in the East Asia market. However, western markets are rumoured to get a Galaxy Note 6 that boasts Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 820 SoC.
A more recent rumour, this time courtesy of Chinese gossip hotbed Weibo, suggested that the Galaxy Note 6 will run on the Snapdragon 823. Qualcomm hasn't officially announced this chip yet however, so take this report with caution.
In terms of storage, we’re expecting at least three options: 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. However, we’ve heard that Samsung might also include its UFS 2.0 memory chips in the Galaxy Note 6. That would put 256GB of hyper-fast storage at the disposal of Note users. Not bad, eh?
Finally, there’s talk of a 20-megapixel rear-facing camera on the Galaxy Note 6. That doesn’t tell us much, since image resolution is only a small part of a camera’s functionality. However, previous Galaxy Note handsets have offered impressive photography performance, so we’d be surprised if the Galaxy Note 6 was any different.
A recent report from PhotoRumors claimed that Samsung is working on a new 1/1.7-inch CMOS camera sensor. It would feature a f/1.4 aperture, which is much wider than the f/1.7 aperture that appeared on the Galaxy S7, an excellent snapper in its own right. Aperture is, of course, the hole that lets light through the lens to the image sensor, so a wider aperture is generally better.
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen any rumours about the front-facing camera thus far, but stay tuned.
Samsung galaxy Note 6 Software : Android 6.0 or Android 7.0 ?
Many of you will be wondering what version of Android the Galaxy Note 6 will run on. Fortunately, it’s easy to answer: Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
While Google is sure to announce Android 7.0 – a.k.a Android N – launch details this summer, it seems unlikely to appear on OEM handsets for quite some time. What’s more, Galaxy Note handsets always initially arrive with the previous generation of Android on-board, so it would seem unlikely for the Note 6 to break from that trend.
Interestingly, a recent rumour from South Korean media suggested that the new Galaxy Note 6 would ship with Android N straight out of the box. That would be an impressively quick turnaround, but considering the fact that the Android N developer preview is already live, we're inclined to believe it might actually happen
Alternatively, the Galaxy Note 6 will run on Google’s Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, which is no bad thing. Marshmallow brought a hefty helping of improvements over 5.0 Lollipop, and Lollipop made plenty of gains in terms of design. That means Android 6.0 is a formidable OS that’s undeniably on par with Apple’s iOS.
