Samsung has not yet officially announced the arrival of Samsung Galaxy Note 6, but rumor has it that the smartphone boasts some impressive features tech savvy fans need to know about.

In terms of its camera, the Galaxy Note 6 might be following the steps of the Galaxy S7 smartphone. The S7 is known for its camera tricks catering to low-light photography, hence that can be expected from the upcoming device. A 12MP camera can be probable if it follows suit with the S7 devices.

If Samsung wants to step up their game and level with competitors, reports suggest that the Galaxy Note 6 has "laser autofocus, as well as greater improvements to optical image stabilization (OIS) and lenses." On the contrary, a single camera sensor might probably be the best option unlike the Galaxy S7 line's Sony and ISOCELL sensors.

Reports claim the Galaxy note 6's similarities with the S7 lineup also include a support for microSD card, wireless charging technology, as well as a water-resistant body. A battery with 3600 mAh to 4000 mAh can also be anticipated. With Samsung yet to introduce a Type-C USB port on its smartphones, speculation says that the Galaxy Note 6 will have one.

Furthermore, two chipset variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is expected to be released: one with Snapdragon 820 and another one powered by Exynos 8890 (or its upgraded edition).

As reported by Fudzilla, a new 256 GB Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 2.0 is also considered to be a feature of the Galaxy Note 6. Its technology enables respective reading and sequential writing speeds of 850 MB/s and 260 Mb/s.

Adding to the speculated features of the Galaxy Note 6 is a5.8-inch Quad HD display, with a possibility of integrating it with a Samsung Gear VR headset. As of the moment, Samsung is showing aggressiveness in promoting the Gear VR headset as it comes free for Galaxy S7 preorder customers. With the Galaxy Note's expected 4K resolution, it is highly probable that it can deliver crisp and high-quality gameplay which makes it possible to use a Gear VR headset as well.
