Galaxy Note 5 suffered greatly from losing its removable battery and expandable memory features. As leaks about the Galaxy Note 6 come out, many gadget lovers are looking ahead for some major changes in Samsung's oversized handset. Here's latest round up of update about Samsung Galaxy Note 6 release date, specs and rumors on the web.

Based on the leaked specifications published in GSM Helpdesk, Samsung's next-generation Galaxy Note is ready to boast big improvements regarding battery, processor and design.

The Galaxy Note series is known for its excellent battery life, but many gadget lovers were disappointed when Galaxy Note 5 came out with reduced battery capacity and non-removable battery feature. Now, Samsung reportedly develops the upcoming Note 6 with removal battery and longer battery life. From 3,000mAh, the device will have a 4,000mAh, which is enough to make it one of the toughest in the tech market.

Following the footsteps of the S7 lineup, the Galaxy Note 6 could also have the powerful Exynos 8890 chipset. Also, the next Note could have a massive 6GB of RAM. These internal features will surely help the device to have optimum performance under heavy use.

With the return of mircoSD storage in Galaxy S7, many tech enthusiasts believe that technology is also present on this year's Galaxy Note. MircoSD card slot will give users more room to install apps and download big files.

Plus, the addition of the IP68 rating protection is welcome. This feature will protect the Note 6 from dust and water, giving users comfort while using the device in a swimming pool or under the rain.

It is also rumored that Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will sport a curved display feature, which is also present in the Edge lineup. This feature would make perfect sense given that the South-Korean phone maker adds extra functionality to its Edge panels. Additionally, the device could have a larger 5.8-inch display.

With that being said, these features will greatly help the Galaxy Note 6 to stand toe-to-toe with the upcoming gadgets from smartphone market's top brands this year. Many people believe the oversized smartphone from Samsung will go up against Apple's iPhone 7 Pro.

As for the release date of Samsung Galaxy Note 6, Forbes predicted it will announce late August or early September to coincide with the Berlin-based IFA show.
