4 | Micro SD Storage

Except for the Note 5, all the Note series phablets feature a microSD slot. Samsung is heavily pegged to bring back the microSD card storage support on the Galaxy Note 6.

5 | Enhanced Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is expected to embrace the camera that is already present on the Galaxy S7. Hence, the phablet is likely to feature a 12.3 MP camera with Super OIS support that will be able to capture stunning photos and videos in low lighting conditions.

Samsung is yet to introduce USB Type-C connectivity on its smartphones. Rumours are rife that the Note 6 will be the first Samsung smartphone to feature it.

9 | Laptop Dock

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 rumours are suggesting that the company will launch the device with a laptop dock support, which means Note 6 owners will be able to attach their smartphone to a laptop dock and power it up with the smartphone’s CPU, RAM and storage.

10 | Huge Battery

The Galaxy Note 5 has a 3000 mAh battery whereas the newly launched Galaxy S7 Edge has a huge battery of 3600 mAh battery. Hence, speculations are indicating that the Note 6 will be packed with a battery of 3600 mAh to 4000 mAh capacity.
