I have been thinking about this beast for a while! Need to upgrade from my Note 3 which I absolutely adore.

Cannot wait till the official announcement!

Why the jump straight to 7? Is it so it falls in line with the standard Galaxy range?

No real sensible reason to even want to "upgrade" from an S7 Edge.

Probably the first time I'd ever have expected to say that since owning Galaxy devices as each Note I've owned has always provided a good step up from the previous Galaxy/Note I had before it.

How times have changed.

I'll only be upgrading now when phones are using the new charging/battery tech that Mediatek recently showed off (Pump+ 3) where a 0-70% charge takes a mere 20 minutes over USB-C.

6 would seem a step back against the current S7 range maybe?

As we're suggesting features ... no glass back :mad: I'd have swapped my Moto X for the GS7 Edge or even the maybe the the none edge version but I know with my use the glass back is going to get broken.

Someone is going to ask for a removable battery too :D though personally not bothered about that.

Leaked blueprints of the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 / Note 7 have given us our first-ever look at the phone and confirmed some key features, ahead of its anticipated debut in August or September.

Sourced exclusively for uSwitch by @Onleaks, AKA Steve Hemmerstoffer of Nowhereelse.fr, the blueprints reveal that the handset will feature a design that’s almost identical to the Galaxy S7 Edge, albeit with an aperture for the stylus pen that defines the Note range.

However in a major break from past form a USB-C port is evidence, making this the first-ever Samsung handset to upgrade from standard USB. USB-C technology, which tech sites have widely tipped to feature on the next-generation Note, enables faster data transfers and means faster charging too.

Interestingly, our source tells us that above the screen, which comes in somewhere between 5.7-inches and 5.8-inches, there’s a concentration of sensors (two large ones and three smaller ones).

Their presence adds real weight to rumours that the Note 6 / Note 7 will feature an iris scanner that 'reads' unique biometric information and enables you to unlock your handset just by looking at it.

The phone's dimensions are purportedly around 153.5mm x 73.9mm x 7.9mm. That puts it broadly in line with the Galaxy Note 5, which comes in at 153.2 x 76.1 x 7.6mm, and the Galaxy S7 Edge, which measures 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7mm.

What we can’t tell you with any certainty is whether the phone in the blueprints is the standard Galaxy Note 6 / Note 7 or the as-yet-unconfirmed, curved-screen Edge-branded model that’s rumoured to be landing alongside it.

The case for the latter is lent some heft by the fact that the phone our source presented us with features a curved screen. But we wouldn't bet the ranch on it.

We're also unsure exactly what the next-generation Note smartphone will be called.

According to some industry insiders, Samsung could brand the standard model as the 'Galaxy Note 6' and opt to call the variant, curved screen edition the 'Galaxy Note 7'.

We won't know for sure until Samsung shows its hand later this year, most likely the IFA technology expo in early September.

The good news, though, is that rumours suggest that, unlike the Note 5, the 2016 Note phone will be granted a UK release.

Yeah not fussed about removable battery even though I changed the one on my Note 3. Likewise the) with micro sd support. If they whack in 128gb on board then what's the need for external storage?

Why does the renders in that story make it look like an iPhone?!

I'm not averse to the edge display, its quite cool tech and I think by now we should have bezel-less phones anyway!

It has been done before with lesser models so why not top end flagships?
