DiGi seems to know something we don't and that involves when exactly the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is coming to Malaysia. Already, they've opened up a registration of interest page for the Galaxy Note 4. As usual, you'll be required to list out all your contacts and particulars but it is interesting to note that we could be seeing the Galaxy Note 4 in black, gold and white, instead of just the traditional black and white. The page does not mention any other tech specs but it should still pack in the usual features of Exynos 5433 (N910C) processor to go with the 3GB RAM, 5.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with 2K resolution and 16MP ISOCELL rear camera. If you're interested in hooking up with a DiGi postpaid plan bundle along with the Galaxy Note 4 then do check out the DiGi site.

Samsung Mobile recently put up a teaser showing their "S CARPET" launch event for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 worldwide. In the map, Malaysia was marked at 24 October 2014, signifying that we could see the launch here on that date. As it is, Samsung have already revealed an unboxing video of the Galaxy Note 4 on their own, along with several other trailers which you can check out below. From current rumours it seems like the tech specs for the Galaxy Note 4 coming to Malaysia will include an Exynos 5433 (N910C) processor to go with the 3GB RAM, 5.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with 2K resolution and 16MP ISOCELL rear camera. Still no Malaysia pricing details yet but we'll let you know as soon as we do, so stay tuned for more developments.

Samsung has officially announced their Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phablet. While it features a same sized 5.7-inch display as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the overall design for the Note 4 is more compact, with slimmer bezels and a slightly taller frame. The overall look is more refined, with a classy metal side frame and artificial leather backside, this time with no rough stitching visible. The S Pen slides in at the bottom like before but the Galaxy Note 4 already has accessores from Montblanc that includes more stylish S Pen styluses and back casings. The full tech specs and feature list for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can be seen below:

• 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor / 1.9GHz octa-core Samsung Exynos 5433 (1.9GHz quad-core + 1.3GHz quad-core)
• 3GB RAM
• 32GB / 54GB storage + up to 64GB microSD

• 16MP rear camera (auto focus, Smart Optical Image Stabilization) + 3.7MP front camera (f1.9)
• supports WiFi 802.11 ac (MIMO), GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1, IR LED, MHL 3.0, 4G LTE Cat 4 + 4G LTE Cat 6

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 media blitz continues as Samsung reveals four more teaser videos showing off the Galaxy Note 4's features and capabilities. Like the previous teaser trailers, there doesn't seem to be anything new in terms of features but the videos do highlight the fact that you get a stylus-driven multimedia computer that can fit in the palm of your hand with the new Galaxy Note 4. Tech specs expected for the Galaxy Note 4 remain a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor or a Samsung Exynos 5 processor. It will likely come with a 5.7-inch 2K display and 16MP camera with optical image stabilization. Again, no specific Malaysia release dates or pricing details were available yet, but it is expected to be revealed at the Samsung UNPACKED event on 3 Spetember 2014 so stay tuned.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is just a week away from it's official announcement, so Samsung have started increasing the hype by releasing trailers of the phablet in action. We've already seen one highlighting the S Pen's writing and note taking capabilities, so it makes sense that one showing it's other uses would come up as well. It appears that the S Pen is still as accurate as before and you can do everything from photo editing to playing games with it. Older features like the Air Command menu are still there as well but we've yet to see anything new just yet. Perhaps it is more of a hardware refresh than a feature refresh, but we should find out more as soon as next week. In the meantime, do check out the video for yourself.

It is no secret now that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is set for a reveal at their upcoming Samsung UNPaCKED event on 3 September 2014. However, it still doesn't showcase all of the new features that the Galaxy Note 4 may bring. A new teaser video from Samsung reveals that it could be all about the handwriting as it shows more streamlined note taking for those who like to write with the S Pen on their digital device. It also shows how the new Galaxy Note 4 will look like. Check out the video for yourself in this article.

While it usually offers benchmark scores, the AnTuTu site is also rather infamous for revealing the tech specs and features of upcoming smartphones and mobile devices. It appears that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 could be one of the latest devices to appear on the AnTuTu site. This listing reveals the Galaxy Note 4 tech specs to include a Samsung Exynos 5433 processor with ARM Mali T760 graphics. Other tech specs include 3GB RAM, 16GB of storage and a 16MP rear camera along with Android 4.4.4. Unconfirmed but anticipated tech specs for the Galaxy Note includes a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display. The AnTuTu listing has since revealed that it will pack a resolution of 1440 x 2560 and we expect the camera to be the same 16MP ISOCELL camera sensor currently available on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Many are hoping that the Note 4 will be enough to revitalize Samsung's decline, but rather than head for the premium flagship area we think the battle they need to win will be in the midrange and entry level, something which Samsung is currently lacking. No Malaysia release dates or pricing is available yet, but stay tuned for the Samsung UNPACKED event on 3 September 2014 for more information.

Confirming earlier rumours, Samsung has just sent out invites for an UNPACKED 2014 event right before IFA 2014 where they will unveil the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phablet. Tech specs still have not been confirmed for the Galaxy Note 4 but many are thinking it may offer a Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB RAM, 5.7-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, 16MP camera with OIS, an ultraviolet sensor and Andoid 4.4 KitKat. We're still hoping that the RAM could get an increase to 4GB but this seems unlikely now. Other devices are also expected including the metal-body Samsung Galaxy Alpha and more (including some new wearable devices). No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but we should find out in another month so stay tuned for more developments.
