The Galaxy Note 6 might be a laptop-smartphone hybrid

The future of the Samsung Galaxy Note series looks sets to provide some surprises – rumors abound that the Note 6 will be a laptop hybrid device. The phablet would fit into a laptop dock, effectively serving two purposes, for what we hope will be relatively little extra cost. Find out what we know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 release date, price, specs and rumors here. The earliest rumblings about the Galaxy Note 6 specs are very intriguing. Patently Mobile dug up a Samsung patent that shows the Note 6 phablet sitting in a laptop dock, where it acts not only as a touchpad, but also as the laptop’s processor and memory. The patents appear to show Windows software running once the Note 6 is docked. It would seem that Samsung is thinking of having the Note 6 run Android in its standard setup as a tablet, and switching over to Windows when it is set into the laptop. For Samsung to pull this off, the Note 6 will need to be a powerful machine indeed. The Note series has always focused on multi-tasking and productivity, and packed in a lot of power to handle the strain, but nonetheless, this is a big step up.
