Samsung Electronics remains tight-lipped on its upcoming next generation device, dubbed Galaxy Note 4, which is expected to be released in September but that has not stopped the media from leaking the alleged features of the purported phablet.
Here are a few expected features of Galaxy Note 4, according to reports:
1) Processor: According to AnTuTu benchmark listings, Samsung may release two versions of Galaxy Note 4 - one powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 that features Krait 450 (300MHz-2457MHz) CPU and Adreno 420 GPU, and the other with Exynos 5433 8 Core processor that has ARM Mali-T760 GPU. Earlier reports had also claimed that the device would have a Quad Core Snapdragon 805 processor that clocks at 2.5GHz.
2) Operating System: Samsung's next generation phablet is expected to come with the latest Android 4.4.3 KitKat.
