Galaxy Note 4 images:

Expected to be unveiled on September 3rd, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will hit the stores by mid September. Considering there is merely a couple weeks left to the release of this gorgeous phablet smartphone loved by many, we are seeing an increased number of leaks. The latest may just be the first ever Galaxy Note 4 images set showing pretty pictures of the metallic frame of Note 4. While the back of the phone still looks similar to the earlier designs of plastic looking, leather-like texture, the sides do look metallic and very much similar to the high res image we saw of Samsung Galaxy Alpha (aka S5 Prime).

Sourced by GSM Arena through an anonymous reader, the images show a plastic inlay in the side frame with an S Pen holder etched into the side of the phone. You can also see the speaker pattern and the microUSB 3.0 port at the bottom of the Note 4. Laying alongside the camera, we are seeing what looks to be the heart rate sensor.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is expected to retain the 5.7" size whilst improving the resolution to 2,560 x 1,440 pixels (QHD). These Galaxy Note 4 images may actually be real considering the front design matches with the earlier released image of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 retail box by Phone Arena.

So far the most rumored aspect of the phablet has been its metallic design. While it is yet to be seen if Samsung's first metal device would indeed be a Note 4 or the rumored and unannounced Galaxy Alpha - set for a later release. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be offered in both the Exynos 5433 and Snapdragon 805 processing options with a QHD display, 16MP camera unit with OIS module, battery optimization, and all the sensors and health features of Samsung Galaxy S5.
