                  Hope they don't make it any thicker than Note 5 . Also metal frame around body won't be as round as it is on S7 / S7 Edge as latter reminds old and ugly to my taste Galaxy S3. Note 5 frame is really nicely shaped and I hope whey won't change it or make even better rather that making it just rounded and looking cheapish.

                      So you mean to say I will buy another OTG that is USB type-C?
                      Or perhaps a micro USB to USB type-C adaptor to use my existing micro USB OTG?

                          Hope this is not true. USB-C is premature for phones market... hope Samsung is going to be smart enough to hold until USB-C-micro going to become available.

                            Anonymous, 03 May 2016Sami the Note 6 is your chance to take on and beat Apple so... moreAha, just not gonna happen, not to mention several things of which you say are ridiculous and not appreciated by most users.

                            1- Screen size too big and pixel density will drop crazily. Anything over 6", isnt a smartphone anymore, a phablet indeed at 6", but at 6,4", it should be a totally new uncomfortable and unapreciated classification of its own.
                            2- 6000mAh battery? Keep dreaming... Surely, Zerolemon or Mophie or even Samsung, could make a case that adds extra battery (and bulk in the process) to the phone, but natively, your lucky to already get 4000mAh, and thats an "if".
                            3- 6 gigabytes of ram would be very well appreciated, but this is Samsung you know and maybe we could expect 5 gigabytes from them? Lets just hope its more.
                            4- IP68 would be great, but then again, with the added S-Pen and who knows what extra acessories or ports, it could be more difficult to implement that feature and it may not even appear lol.
                            5- That should really be the case, but 256Gb doesnt seem very plausible, at least not for Samsung. Theyr selling 32Gb smartphones without adoptable storage, which is pathetic at that price point and given how cheap memory is to manufacture and implement. You can get a 4Gb Ram+128Gb UFS 2.0 storage phone for 200-300€ less... I mean, we had 128Gb S6's and S6 Edge's, why not 64Gb/128Gb S7/S7 Edge's globally...
                            6- Unbreakable screen? Your living in the wrong planet buddy xp. The closest thing to that is from Motorolla, and its plastic screen make it very scratchable, getting marked at a level 3 in Mohs scale of hardness, which is super sad, since gorilla glass 4 is a level 6 or 7.
                            7- Stereo sound would be friggin cool, and lets not forget of the headphone jack, getting an independent DAC and maybe some Hi-Fi earphones too :p
                            8- USB Type-C while should be native to all phones this year, seriously only the S7/S7 Edge did stick to old gen ports so far, but knowing Samsung, unless theres a new Gear Vr, your gonna have to wait for 2017 to get Type-C Note device.
                            9- Dual Sim is already possible, so i dont see the problem with that lol. Obviously, more storage, to complement the dual sim.
                            10- If theres dual sim tray, then theres micro sd tray. Hybrid tray is a very common thing nowadays.
                            11- 10nm chip? Hmm, probably not. If anything, given how they acted last year to sticking with the 7420 trough all 4 seasons, theyll probably make the Exynos 8890 a bit faster and update its clock speeds and maybe give it a better gpu like a Mali T880MP16, which is the max supported cores by this gpu, being a significant upgrade from the current T880MP12. That is, the ones that get the Exynos. The snapdragon variant may get upgraded to the 823, 826 or 830.
                            12- Yes, it should have Android N out of the box.
                            13- Nope, very unlikely. They shoulndt be adding both of those things together, maybe the fm radio.
                            14- Not unless you want to get rid of the glass. Same thing with the unbreakable screen, just not gonna happen anytime soon.
                            15- Aha, no... Not unless you wanna play Asphalt 8 and most games at 20 fps with max settings and have a phone that lasts for 10 hours of usage, max! Then again, unless you have to increase the PPI, theres no benefit on getting higher resolution, since its unnoticeable
                            16- That will be happening, since its already been...

                                        "The new Type-C connector in the Note 6 will therefore require an updated headset."

                                        Most of the brands offer Type-C to MicroUSB adapter.
