Galaxy Note 5 could arrive 2015 w/ UHD double-edge display

It’s already been a ritual for Samsung to release a Galaxy Note every year ever since the success of its first iteration. Having said that, it’s safe to say that a Note 5 is to be expected to release this year, but it seems like there’s more to be offered by the South Korean company this time.

According to a leak the next-gen Note could have a UHD display with a whopping 4K resolution and 748ppi. Not only that, it could also sport a dual-edge form factor just like the current Galaxy S6 Edge.

The tip also suggests that production of the Note 5 will be in August, which is just in time for a September announcement at IFA 2015. With 4K resolution TVs getting cheaper these days and with the direction that Samsung is by far taking, it’s not that far-fetched to see such a device for this year.

Meanwhile, stay tuned as we keep an ear to the ground for any developments regarding this matter.

Samsung to Launch First Smartphone w/ 4GB RAM

Lazada Philippines

2015 may very well be the year of 4GB smartphones, at least that’s what the rumor mill seems to be pointing out with the recent leak of the Sony Xperia Z3X and now the speculation around the Samsung Galaxy S6 which, judging by their recent announcement, could be the first smartphone to launch with 4GB of RAM.

The speculation arose when Samsung announced that the mass production of industry’s first low-power double-data rate 4 (LPDDR4) mobile dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with 8GB capacity which is based on the company’s 20nm process.

Samsung LPDDR4

According to Samsung, their new LPDDR4 DRAM will be two-times faster than a “typical DDR3 RAM” for PC and, in the case of the 2GB package, is expected to be 40% more power efficient than its LPDDR3 counterpart.

Furthermore, the South Korean giant stated that apart from lowering the operating voltage to 1.1V, the company’s new 8GB LPDDR4 DRAMs can support Ultra-High Definition video recording and playback, not to mention continuous shooting of 20MP+ pictures.

Although Samsung hasn’t really confirmed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 (and most likely the Galaxy Note 5 too) will sport the next-generation DRAM, I think that we can all agree that the tech giant will not allow their two franchise centerpieces to be left behind in the specs race, especially since they’ve openly announced that they’s started providing LPDDR4 modules to other device manufacturers starting this month.
