Samsung is reportedly rushing things a bit in order to combat the iPhone 6, which is expected to bring a break in Apple's tradition of putting a puny display on their flagship and take the competition to phablets from other manufacturers. This fits in nicely with earlier rumors that the Galaxy Note 4 might become available for purchase a few days before the Galaxy Note 3 did post-announcement, and a quicker launch would indeed be a good move on Samsung's part if the company intends to do something about the decreasing profits it faced in the second quarter.
The Galaxy Note 4 is expected to feature a 5.7-inch QHD (2560×1440) display, an Exynos 5433/Snapdragon 805 processor (with record-breaking performance, if leaked benchmarks are to be believed), 3GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel with a Sony IMX240 sensor and optical image stabilization, an ultraviolet sensor, and at least Android 4.4.3 KitKat. A variant with a curved OLED display continues to be a possibility according to the report, though we will have to wait and see if such a variant really does get launched and whether it will ever make it to markets outside South Korea.
