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.
