The Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which was released in October last year, has recently become very popular in the U.S., according to a recent survey that was conducted by the American Consumer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).

The survey shows the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 finishing in first place, followed by Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in second place alongside two other Samsung devices, the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5.

What makes the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 very attractive to U.S. consumers, according to the survey, is the phone's 5.7 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display screen that comes with a 1440 x 2560 resolution. This offers users sharp and clear viewing experience along with a 3.7 mega pixel front-facing camera and a 16 mega pixel rear camera.

For the new Galaxy Note 5, it is suggested that Samsung might use an 8 mega pixel front-facing camera and a 16 mega pixel primary camera. It is also suggested that Samsung is planning to use a 4K Ultra High-definition 3840 x 2160 resolution display screen for the Note 5, which will definitely give the phone a boost over its predecessor.

The new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 might also come with Samsung Pay and a larger 4100 mAh battery. Its predecessor uses a 3220 mAh battery and is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 chipset.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5, codenamed Project Noble, is also expected to be launched alongside another version, which is the Note 5 Edge. The Note 5 Edge will sport a dual curved edge display screen.

It still remains unclear when exactly the new Note 5 will be launched, but reports claim it might happen at the IFA 2015 event held in Berlin, Germany.
