The next iteration in Samsung's Galaxy Note line-up is reportedly packing a feature similar to the BlackBerry Hub, now dubbed as Samsung Focus. This is poised to serve as a one-stop communication-organization center where functions such as calendars, contacts, emails and memos are all integrated.
The information comes from SamMobile, which specifies email aggregation as one of Samsung Focus' major features. BlackBerry users are familiar with the convenience brought by the Hub, and with the Galaxy Note 6 promising to become another powerful handset, the rumored feature is a possibility.
SamMobile claims that Samsung Focus has a "clean and modern interface," faithful to Google's Material Design guidelines. According to the outlet, the feature will sport a main screen where all important details are displayed, such as emails and reminders relevant on specified days. A contacts page - which comes with priority settings - is said to display calendar invites, emails and messages under each particular contact.
The Galaxy Note 6 is purported to have a 4,200mAh battery, 256GB internal memory, 6GB of RAM, USB Type-C support, 24MP rear camera resolution and an IP68 certification. A 5.8-inch QHD display, Snapdragon 823 and iris scanner are also expected.
Because there is no official word from Samsung yet, it is best to take these information with caution. It is safe to say that the Galaxy Note 6 will sport upgrades from its predecessor, but to what extent, we are yet to know.
The new Note will likely arrive the latest in August, ValueWalk says, though there are also assumptions pressing for a much earlier release. Price speculations, on the other hand, appear to agree that the high-end device will be costly. Because a patent has suggested that it might function as a laptop, AndroidPIT notes that price can be expected to rise accordingly.
