As the world awaits for the official unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Note 6, excitement among fans and tech buffs has been steadily building up to see whether the South Korean tech giant's flagship phablet lives up to expectations.

Recently, Samsung has been gaining a strong foothold in the smart devices industry when the company released Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Both variants came with features and specs that seemed to have met tech consumers' demand for superb technological attributes, at least for now, while critics and fans anxiously wait for Apple's official counter-response to Samsung's volley of opening shots in 2016.

Right now, analysts are fixated on Samsung's forthcoming product wondering if it ends up as a failure or success. As sales plummet, the attention would certainly revolve how whether Samsung could pull off its next-big-thing to turn declining fortunes into market success. It's still five months away from the purported release of the Note 6, yet the constant clamor for the device is just getting louder as expectations becoming even more demanding.

But if rumors prove accurate, then we should be expecting a whole array of excellent features that should give rivals a run for the money. Drawing cautiously on roundups churning out the rumor mill, the forthcoming phablet should come with a massive screen display plus a long battery life.

To start off, here is a quick overview of the key features and specs that we can expect with Galaxy Note 6 as per Slash Gear roundup:

1. Two variants of the new device from the Note series are supposedly coming out: a 5.8-inch flat display variant and a 5.9-inch curved model that resembles the Galaxy S7 Edge although other leaked scoops report both variants having 5.8-inch display size.

2. The device will have a generous offering of 6GB of RAM.

3. For a longer battery life, it will be armed with 4,000 mAh battery pack.

4. The memory is expandable with the microSD comeback via a SIM try combo.

As per Yibada report, the phablet also comes with additional slew of impressive specs and features as summarized herein:

1. A much bigger memory offering can be expected in three base storage options: 256GB, 128GB and 64GB.

2. Under the hood are two possible chipsets that can internally added to the device to render a more enhanced processing efficiency: Exynos 8890 as well as Snapdragon 820.

3. For handset durability, the device is rumored to come out with IP68-certified waterproof design and an iris scanner for greater security features.

The camera, however, is reportedly unimpressive with only 12MP for its rear camera which unexpectedly lower than most high-end smartphones currently in the market today. To compensate for the lower MPs, Note 6 is speculated to integrate its Dual Pixel technology plus an incredibly fast autofocus according to Value Walk.

Are these all the Note 6 has to offer?

Apparently, the abovementioned features and specs are not the only surprising treats in store for tech consumers. A recent unearthed and intriguing patent points to a possible addition of a hybrid design for the Note lineup.

"A patent has been unearthed...which showcases how Samsung is considering an interesting hybrid design for future Note devices. The concept has echoes of Asus' Padfone handset, which could be docked with a large-form tablet, which could in-turn be docked with a keyboard to become a laptop - all of the processing power came from the phone, however," wrote Paul Briden of Know Your Mobi
