Speculations on the release date of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 have been doing the rounds ever since the release of Galaxy S5. The unveiling of the device is expected to clash with Apple's iPhone 6 in September, according to reports.

The South Korean electronics giant has not even uttered a word on Galaxy Note 4 but several expected specifications of the device have hit the internet.

Here are some expected features of Samsung Galaxy Note 4:
