Samsung Galaxy Note 6 Release Date, News and Rumors: How The Newest Model May Outwit The Jumbo iPhone
South Korean electronics giant, Samsung, is bound to clash with Cupertino-based tech behemoth, Apple, in their ongoing rivalry to create the most innovative and technologically astounding smartphone to date. As avid fans from both sides of the fence argue over the best phablet ever, analysts and observers feel obliged to make a comparison between the two rivals' forthcoming flagship devices.
Although information remains scarce as the world awaits the highly anticipated release of the Samsung's Galaxy Note 6 and Apple's iPhone 7 in the second half of 2016, here is a roundup of their features based on swirling rumors and unconfirmed insider reports.
So how does the purported features of Galaxy Note 6 compare when pitted against the soon-to-be-unveiled iPhone 7? A report from the International Business Times makes the comparison based on display innovations, RAM and storage, Camera, and a slew of other innovations.
Screen display
Galaxy Note 6 is reportedly armed with 5.8-inch AMOLED display with RGX matrix technology that supports Quad HD resolution and pressure sensitive display feature. Apple, on the other hand, is rumored to rid iPhone7 of the physical home button, introduce a top-to-bottom display. The company may also add an anti-reflective coating and drape the iconic smartphone with high-end sapphire display. In an attempt to make the phone slimmer, Apple is also reportedly ditching its 3.5mm headphone jack.
RAM and Storage Offering
Both companies are probably going to be more generous in offering larger internal storage capacity for their forthcoming devices. Apple and Samsung are reportedly planning to offer variants with 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB options with expandable memory. While Note 6 is rumored to come with 6GB RAM, Apple may offer a little less generous 3GB of RAM.
Camera
Apple's iPhone 7 may be equipped with a dual-lens camera set-up while Samsung's Note 6 could boast a 12MP camera supported by a 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization system (OIS) technology.
Other Cool Features
Apple may incorporate wireless charging technology which could be a game-changer. Samsung, on the other hand, has just patented a dual OS hybrid device equipped with an internal charging dock which observers believe may appear in the upcoming device belonging to the Note series.
Meanwhile, Samsung is believed to be making a strategic change in the company's launching of its highly anticipated flagship devices. According to Nashville Chatter Class, insider sources suggest that the company now favors an earlier release of Note 6 around in July instead of rolling it in either August or September ahead of the traditional IFA event.
In another update, Walmart is currently dropping $100 off to all iPhone models. Likewise, the retail giant is also doing a similar discount to Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 by taking $150 off from their prices as reported by Phone Arena. So if you're looking for a smart deal on high-end phones, Walmart might just be the right place to put in your money's worth.
