At a glance, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is thought to sport a 6-inch screen with 4k AMOLED display. In addition to its massive size, the phablet's beautiful display is rumored to be protected with Gorilla Glass 4.

The rumor about the 4k display emerged from the hopes of supporters that this feature might be included in the Galaxy Note 5 after Samsung announced prior to the launching of Note 4 that it is investing in such a technology.

If the Note 5 would indeed be the 6-inch massive screen display that it is being rumored now, it would be one of Samsung's smartphones with the biggest screen, and in the industry in general. Not to mention that it would be able to withstand a few heavy drops if it comes with the Gorilla Glass 4, which according to its manufacturer is twice stronger than its predecessors.   

For the Galaxy Note 5 hardware, it is rumored to have the Snapdragon 810 CPU with 4 GB of RAM, although there are also rumors indicating that it could use Samsung's newest Exynos 7 version, the 14nm FinFET process. This three-dimensional processor is also expected to be used across Samsung products that will be released this year.

In fact, the Galaxy S6 is also being projected to have the high-performing Exynos 7 processor. Speculations get stronger about it when Samsung Mobile released a teaser video this week showing an icon like a lightning bolt with a line under it. The video does not tell much except for the title: "I am the next Galaxy". 

Given the rumored features, some of the flagship smartphones that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 would be in competition with include Google's Nexus 6 and Apple's iPhone 6S.

Other interesting rumors that are being linked to the device include the arrival of the retina scanning technology as an additional security feature. While Samsung's Exynos Twitter account did tweet about it looking at the possibilities of the scanning technology as a security measure for phones, it did not mention anything about the Galaxy Note 5.

The possibility of wireless battery charging is also being considered, but tech reviewers have yet to prove the logic behind it as the original source of this rumor is not well known for its tech reports.
