The Samsung Galaxy S6 is still under wraps, but rumors are already starting to surface regarding the alleged release of yet another flagship phone from the South Korean mobile and consumer electronics company. 

Speculations are rife about Samsung's plans to come up with the successor to their 2014-released Samsung Galaxy Note 4. According to reports, the device that will be reportedly dubbed as the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be ready in time for this year's IFA in Berlin, Germany to take place from Sept. 4 to 9. 

Note5US website listed down several rumored specs of the alleged device, including a 5.9-inch 4K Super AMOLED display that features a 600+ ppi, a built-in 4 GB RAM, dust and scratch resistant screen, a water resistant body, as well as a 2.9 Ghz octa-core Exynos processor with a 64-bit architecture or a quad-core Snapdragon 808 chipset. 

There are also reports posted by KDrama Stars saying that the alleged Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be equipped with an internal storage of 32 GB, but it can be expanded up to 128 GB using the built-in microSD slot. 

Meanwhile, camera features of the rumored new flagship device will have a jaw-dropping 20-megapixel rear-end primary shooter as well as a 5-megapixel secondary front facing camera. Conversely, other rumors claim that the new phablet from Samsung will have an even better 21-megapixel primary rear camera with a groundbreaking 6-megapixel front-facing shooter that is perfect for video calls and taking better selfie shots. 

Other significant rumors that were tagged to the features of the so-called Samsung Galaxy Note 5 include the all-aluminum curved edged body, which will be seen in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 device. It will also have a fingerprint sensor as well as a retina scanner, according to Note5US. 

However, none of these rumors have been confirmed by the South Korean tech firm.
