Following the success of Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge release, fans are now shifting their focus to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 6. With its impressive specs under the hood and some great features, Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were destined to do well in the market. Now that rumors are circulating that Samsung is planning to release another device before the year ends, followers of the Korean tech giant are hoping that it will be as good as its recent rollout.

Although the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is not expected to hit the market until later this year, rumors and speculations about its specs and release date have already been a hot topic all over the internet. According to the reports, one of the best features the device has is its camera, which is said to have the Infrared or IR Autofocus.

Android Headlines reported that an engineering team from Samsung is apparently testing the IR autofocus feature of the device's rear snapper. The publication suggested that the feature will allow users to get high-quality outputs when shooting in low-light conditions. One of the great things IR autofocus can do is finding people through their body heat and not through face detection, which is not really good at all times.

Meanwhile, its rumored specs have already landed in several tech publications online. According to the reports, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 823 processor. One interesting speculation about its specs under the hood is the whopping 8 GB of RAM, which is believed to be non-existent in today's smartphone market. According to Digital Trends, the new device may also come with an iris scanner, which is another feature that will make this device as the best amongst its class once it hits the market.

Nonetheless, Samsung has yet to confirm these rumors and speculations. The best thing fans can do now is wait for the company to make an official announcement, which should happen anytime soon.
