Samsung Galaxy Note 4 specifications, features leaked

Samsung Galaxy S5 hasn't even hit retail stores yet, but rumours about Galaxy Note 4 have already started swirling online. Japanese website CMNO.com has released a list of features that will reportedly make their way to the Galaxy Note 4.   As per the report, Samsung will not use the fingerprint scanner in Galaxy Note 4. Instead users will be able to unlock their phones by simply writing on their screens. It remains unclear whether the manufacturer will retain the heart rate monitor that it introduced with Galaxy S5. While its screen size remains unknown, Galaxy Note 4 is likely to have higher a higher resolution display. The report claims that the next-generation phablet will have 2K resolution (2560x1440p), instead of Full HD (1920x1080p). Samsung is also rumoured to be working on a Galaxy S5 variant with 2K screen resolution. The Galaxy Note 4 is also expected to get a 20.7MP camera, a major jump from the 13MP camera of its predecessor; even the new Galaxy S5 has only a 16MP camera. This camera is likely to feature optical image stabilization, a feature missing from top-end Samsung phones. Just like Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, the next top Samsung phablet will be able to record 4K (movie hall quality) videos. Apple's iPhone 5S is the only phone in the market with a 64-bit processor, and Samsung is looking to join its ranks with the Galaxy Note 4. The device will reportedly have a 64-bit processor, paired with 4GB RAM made on the 20nm process. Samsung last year unveiled the world's first 4GB RAM for mobile devices, but has not used the same in any of its products as of now. 64-bit processors require at least 4GB RAM in order to make full use of their computing capabilities. Galaxy Note 4 is expected to run on Android 4.5, which is likely to be unveiled at Google I/O in June this year. The phablet is also expected to have 128GB internal storage option, 3,600-3,800mAh battery, support for fast 4G and dual-band Wi-Fi networks. Just like Galaxy S5, the upcoming Galaxy Note 4 is expected to be water- as well as dust-resistant. The device will cost less than $800, according to the report. Though there is no word on Galaxy Note 4's launch date, it is likely that the model will be unveiled in august or September this year. Samsung may once again unveil the phablet at IFA 2014 tech expo in Berlin or host a separate event around the same time.
