Samsung's most-awaited device of the year, the Galaxy Note 6, is just a few months away from seeing the light of the day, but the company is not willing to reveal any detail. However, leaks over the last few weeks have given a hint of what to expect from the device, including specifications.

The South Korean technology giant is expected to release the upcoming next-generation device in August, by the time its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 5, completes a year cycle in the market. There are also reports that the device could be launched in mid-July, however, it is just a speculation at the moment.

Design: According to Dutch website GSM Helpdesk (via Phone Arena), Samsung is testing two variants of the Galaxy Note 6, one with a flat display and the other with a curved screen. It claimed that the two models will share same specifications.

Display: Several reports have clailed that the Galaxy Note 6 will sport a 5.8-inch display with 2,560x1,440 pixels.

Hardware and software: The device is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 processor, and come packed with a 64GB/128GB internal memory and a 10 nanometer 6GB RAM, and house a 4,000mAh battery. It may come running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow or even the just announced Android N.

Camera: Samsung is expected to decrease the camera mega-pixel and concentrate on quality. It is reported that the device will have the same camera seen in the Galaxy S7. The recently released flagship device houses a 12MP main camera with features like f/1.7 aperture, 26mm, OIS, 1/2.6" sensor size and 1.4 µm pixel size, and a 5MP front-snapper with f/1.7 aperture.

Features: The device is expected to come with a microSD card slot, an IP68-certification (waterproof), and a USB Type-C port. It is also reported that features like iris scanner and a foldable S Pen.
