The currently available Note 5 is clearly no slouch when it comes benchmarks, user experience and the camera. It is an all-rounder of sorts and the only smartphones to come close to it are its just announced Galaxy S7 twins.There are plenty of Android-powered smartphones on their way to store shelves that will soon trump it when it comes to performance with their Snapdragon 820 chipsets. So what is Samsung doing about it? Well, as the latest rumours point out Samsung has readied its Note 6 smartphone and will even be launching it earlier in July this year.Korean website, The Bell points out that Samsung will be launching its Note 6 smartphone earlier this year and it will also feature Google's latest and greatest Android N operating system, out of the box.Samsung usually launches its Note series smartphone in September every year, but it now seems that they are in a hurry to get a bit of a head start since Apple too is planning to launch an iPhone Pro or iPhone 7 Plus this year as well.According to the same source, Samsung internally calls the Note 6, Grace. No other details about the upcoming Note 6 have been revealed.Samsung will indeed be one of the first smartphones to be launched with Android N out of the box. Turns out, that Google is expected to roll out the final release by Android N in July, so it would make perfect sense if Samsung can pull off the same with the Note 6.Recently, we also heard about Android N adding stylus support. This seems a bit lame at the moment, but Google adding support for features that were until now locked down to manufacturers will also see more support coming from developers. Samsung was also one of the first smartphone manufacturers to introduce a fingerprint reader on a flagship device and look where we are today, with Google adding native support for the same.
