So rumor round up.
1.4K display is likely. About 800 nits maximum. And all the other world leading Amoled advantages.
2.Exynos 7422? Which is likely a refined 7420 with higher mp version of the Mali GPU. Like the Mp10. Hopefully the mp16. Especially if they go 4K.
3.That would also mean Wolfson Audio DAC. Sadly though it's close to the best performer by sheer power, HTC can tune Qualcomm ones to be more powerful. It's one area Samsung could really improve.
4.Back camera is very tricky at this point. They could have a new Isocell ready by then. Or use a newer Sony sensor. Could easily be 20MP at this point. With OIS, at least F1.9 again, and various improvements.
-Front camera is almost for sure their new 8mp Isocell with the new color filter. And at least F1.9 again.
5.DDR4 ram of course. Very possibly in 4GB configuration.
6.Sorage is the tricky one. They are said to be using their new epop set upadding memory, ram, soc, and radios on one chip. But also claimed this was with older storage and only DDR3 ram. So DDR3 and emmc?
Or upgraded to DDR4 and possibly UFS storage for dramatic performance gains?
Or will they use Emmc 5.1 because it's still fast, but shares enough bandwidth for the SD card?????????
At least 32GB and 64GB.
7.Design...Is also tricky. You want to think they will be more cautious knowing way more Note users will be upset about a non removable battery and SD slot.....But they still could do the same thing and make it non removable, but a lot thinner with more efficient tech.
Either way I do expect at least a metal frame. Probably the stronger one like the S6. And for it to be at least 8mm thin. But anywhere from 7.2-7.8mm possible.
8.Battery. Also way in the air. Depends very much on whether it's a little thinner and removable or a lot thinner and non removable. It could be anywhere from 3000-3600mah. Some rumors suggest 4000, but keep dreaming.
Either way expect good battery life and really fast charging. Probably with wireless built in. Better than Note 4's battery life though? Good question.
9.And of course the more refined Touchwiz with more advanced pen features and the great theme engine.

Extras? Maybe a new pen. Very loud speaker, but they still might not be awesome to move back to using stereo speakers again yet....Fingers crossed though.....heart rate monitor and improved finger print sensor. They have pointed out they are working on retina/iris scanners, but will it be included? I don't think so. Raw photo capture and improved manual controls? High chance. Latest Lollipop is most likely. Unless M is out and ready for testing way prior.
September World release? Maybe.

          Well guys,,,, S6 is an indicator for note 5....I think Samsung will remove the SD card option to release the note 5 in several categories "16/32/64" also the battery will be non-removable! so it seems that I will keep on my Note 4 till Note 6 in 2016!

            I don't have anything against your hate. Everyone's entitled to their opinions. But don't act like you didn't ask for it when you clearly were trolling.

                It's for their virtual reality, native 4K content, and with them it will draw less power than current displays.

                  4GB DDR4 is a must.

                  Also microSD, Type-C USB, S Pen with no lag, lighter TouchWiz, bigger battery, small bezel.

                    1) let's hope this 4k screen stupidity doesn't happen
                    2) please keep the micro SD cards
                    3) please keep the removable battery

                    I get the feeling I will be disappointed and will be staying with my note 4.

                            4 gb ram please!

                              As was 4k video, camera manual,... who comes first wins.
                              Waiting 4k screen.

                                You know the leak is fake when it says 16GB Internal since the default minimum memory is now 32GB in the Note series.
