The rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 6 phablet has been making a lot of buzz lately. According to the latest report, new leaked details suggest that the South Korean tech giant is getting ready to officially announce the upcoming device.

The new rumor started when the popular tech tipster Evan Blass posted a tweet on his personal account that Samsung could launch the Galaxy Note 6 or the Galaxy Note 7 in a couple of months from now. If rumors prove to be true, the new device could be revealed sometime in August.

"Galaxy Note 6/7 launch event is almost exactly two months away," Blass wrote on Twitter.

There have been contradicting reports coming from different tech publications online, which confused a lot of fans. However, the new leaked information appears to be making sense. The current Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was released in August last year, and an August 2016 release for the Galaxy Note 6 is just about right, which is exactly one year from the previous iteration.

According to a report from TheBitBag, most manufacturers would likely to follow a release pattern so they can generate enough hype and to make sure they don't disappoint their fans.

Meanwhile, tech observers expect the upcoming phablet to come out with a 5.8-inch screen. There are speculations circulating all over the Internet that the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will feature the company's Bio Blue screen technology, which has the capability to support 4K UHD resolution. It is also speculated to run on a Snapdragon 823 SoC from Qualcomm, which is paired with 6 GB LPDDR4 RAM.

New rumors even suggest that the device will come with a dual camera feature in the rear, according to a report by University Herald. Samsung may have planned this feature all along to compete with the upcoming iPhone 7, which is also rumored to sport a dual camera set up.

Samsung has yet to confirm these reports. Fans will have to wait for the company to provide significant details with regard to its development and release date.
