The South Korean electronics company Samsung has remained quiet amid the rumors that the tech giant is getting ready for the launch of the Galaxy Note's latest design. So far, the rumored specs of the anticipated phablet upgrade from Samsung is very impressive as it will be sporting some of today's newest technology in mobile phone industry, that is if the specs rumors verify.

Yibada has reported that the Galaxy Note 6 is rumored to be released as early as July. There are some reports that the upcoming Samsung gadget will be released in August although it was stated that Samsung might be pushing for an earlier release date.

As of the meantime, the latest rumored specs of the Galaxy Note 6 include an 8-GB Random-Access Memory (RAM), new generation Snapdragon 823 chipset, and a much powerful phone system that will allow faster firmware updates. The Snapdragon 823 chipset is expected to be released at the same time as the Galaxy Note 6 launching, according to a report from SamMobile.

However, there is a contradicting report as shown in the same Yibada report saying that the Galaxy Note 6 will still use an Exynos processor to power up the upcoming gadget. It was noted that the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 were all launched with Exynos processor in 2015. Earlier this year, a variant of the Galaxy S7 was released with an Exynos chip. The other Galaxy S7 variant runs in Snapdragon 820 chipset. It is not known if Samsung will completely drop the use of Exynos chip in their upcoming projects and start using Snapdragon, or if two variants with different processors will be released.

On the other hand, the screen feature of the Galaxy Note 6 is rumored to be a huge step up from the previous Galaxy Note designs. With a larger AMOLED design and a maximum scree resolution of 2560 x 1440, the phablet is expected to have a very high-quality graphics offering for smartphone users. The camera feature is expected to be top class as well with 25 MP camera.
