Hasta La Gadget!

Back at the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S5. There had been a lot of rumors about the expected specifications prior to the announcement, and not all rumors turned out to be true. Since then many have been wondering what this means for the Galaxy Note 4, and if its possible that the popular phablet might not come with all that its expected to. Partial Galaxy Note 4 specs have been purportedly leaked, but its still too soon to be certain of what Galaxy Note 4 has in store.

Folks at CNMO claim that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is going to have a 1,440×2,560 Quad HD display. This is one of the most rehashed rumors about the Galaxy S5, but ultimately it came with a full HD display. Its not surprising that the 2K speculation is now focused on the Note 4, given that the S5 let everyone who was wishing for it down.

It is also claimed that Galaxy Note 4 is going to be dustproof and waterproof, just like the Galaxy S5. This would be the first time the phablet would be able to better resist the elements. Not much else is known as yet. It is unclear if Samsung intends to keep the faux leather back it introduced last year. Given that it has extended it to laptops as well, there’s a chance that faux leather might not go anywhere.

Samsung usually unveils a new iteration of the Galaxy Note phablet at IFA in Berlin. This isn’t due until September, so we have quite a bit of waiting to do.

It has only been a few months since Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was released to the public. This particular lineup was quite monumental in pushing the phablet phenomenon forward so much so that customers are now increasingly tilting towards smartphones with rather large displays. One might wonder what’s next in store for the Galaxy Note lineup, it could be something amazing. There’s a possibility that the Galaxy Note 4 may tout a wraparound display.

Samsung’s mobile division’s chief Lee Young Hee says that the company wants to target consumers who want more professional use and those who are willing to spend more for mobile devices. It is believed that Galaxy Note 4 will be focused towards the high-end segment of the market, pitched particularly to those customers who don’t mind spending extra as long as the device lives up to their expectations. A wraparound display would allow users to read messages at an angle, there won’t be a bezel. Galaxy Note 4 will really be in a class of its own if it comes with a wraparound display and no other manufacturer beats Samsung to the market first on this technology. According to reports, the next generation Galaxy Note phablet isn’t due until the second half of 2014, which means that Samsung is sticking to its traditional release cycle.

Might it be too soon to start talking about a Samsung Galaxy Note 4? Given the success of Samsung’s Galaxy Note series of phablets, it is expected that the South Korean tech giant could be planning a successor to the Galaxy Note 3 which we can only assume will launch later this year, but what will it look like? While specs and features are important aspects to consider, design is another important part of purchase decisions as well. After all having a powerful phone in an ungly design is a bit of a put off, don’t you think? Well according to a patent filed by Samsung (discovered by SammyToday), it shows a design of a handset that could clue us in as to what the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 might look like.

Given that the patent doesn’t actually mention a particular device, one could argue that this design could be for just about any phone from Samsung. However the telling feature would be its slot for the S Pen stylus which has typically accompanied Samsung’s Galaxy Note handsets. Of course one could also make the argument that perhaps it could be the Galaxy S5’s design and that the handset could incorporate S Pen support, but why would Samsung want to take away the differentiating factor from the Galaxy Note series? In any case the patent’s design shows off a more curved handset compared to previous generations, and to a certain extent we’re kind of digging it.

Could this really be the design of the Galaxy Note 4? It’s hard to tell but assuming that it is, what do you guys make of it? Is this a design you could get on board with?

As this year approaches its end, speculation about 2014 has started making the rounds. We have already heard a few theories about what to expect from Samsung in 2014, latest reports coming in from Korea suggest that all Samsung 2014 flagship devices will have similar cameras, 16 megapixels possibly accompanied by optical image stabilization. Basically what this means is that if the Galaxy S5 comes with a 16 megapixel camera, it is highly likely that the Galaxy Note 4 will tout it as well. Though it won’t come as a surprise, Samsung has always used the same camera in its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note flagships.

A report suggests that the company has placed orders for 181 million 16 megapixel camera modules. The number contradicts another recent report, which claimed that Samsung only aims to sell 126 million high-end devices, which would include all flagships, in 2014. So why would the company order 55 million additional modules when it doesn’t aim to sell that many units? Could this mean that the company really announce that premium Galaxy F smartphone we have been hearing about? Too soon to say now, besides, these speculative reports must always be taken with a grain of salt. The previous report suggested that Samsung is going to focus more on tablets and low end smartphones next year.
