Even as Samsung is preparing to release the Galaxy S6, all eyes are now on the company's upcoming phablet, Galaxy Note 5. The Galaxy Note 4 released in 2014 was a very successful device for Samsung and it is only natural for the company to soon come out with a successor.

Based on earlier rumors, the Galaxy Note 5 is expected to sport a 5.9 inch 4K Super AMOLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor or Exynos 7420 SoC processor along with 4GB RAM. The Galaxy Note 5 is expected to come packed with 32/64 internal memory that can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD card, and feature an 18MP camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 7MP front camera. Since the high-powered display in the Galaxy Note 5 will consume most of the power in its battery, the phablet is more likely to be powered by a bigger and powerful 4000 mAH battery, which can provide as much as 20 percent more power.

Other rumored features in the Galaxy Note 5 are retina scanner, fingerprint scanner, wireless charging, scratch and dust resistant, water resistant, and heart rate monitor. Samsung's executive vice president Roh Tae-moon had earlier indicated that all Note devices could come with a curved display similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge. This means that the Galaxy Note 5 could also feature a curved display. Samsung has made huge improvements to its S-Pen stylus with each new generation of the Galaxy Note, and the Galaxy Note 5 is also expected to come with an improved stylus.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in September, as its predecessor would complete a circle of one year in the market by then.
