Just six months after the Galaxy Note 5 made its debut, the rumor mill is already making promises about this year’s Galaxy Note 6 — and they sound super exciting.

According to one tipster, this year’s upgrade will deliver a larger “Slim RGB” display, a whopping 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of speedy storage, and more.

If you’ve been longing for the Galaxy Note’s S Pen functionality but simply can’t manage its size, Samsung could soon deliver a case that fixes your problem. In a new patent filing, the South Korean company describes a neat case that adds an S Pen stylus to other Galaxy smartphones.

If you’re planning to make Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 5 your next smartphone, here’s a helpful warning you definitely don’t want to forget: Inserting its S Pen upside down with break your phone.

Unlike with previous Galaxy Note devices, the fancy new S Pen with the Note 5 can easily be inserted the wrong way around, but doing this can cause the S Pen’s detection feature to be broken unbelievably easily, and could prevent it from being removed altogether.

HTC is reportedly gearing up to take on the iPhone 6 Plus and the Galaxy Note 4 with a flagship phablet of its own called the HTC One M8 Max. The device will reportedly offer a 5.5-inch display — the same as the 6 Plus — with a super sharp Quad HD resolution.
