Samsung is readying itself for the launch of its Galaxy Note 4, which it hopes will be another successful entrant into the hand device sector as the Korean manufacturer continues to move forward with its flagship Galaxy device line.
Still, there are worries that if the new Note 4 is not improved upon, especially if the company doesn't move away from plastic casings, the average user may shun the device as more and more companies look to metal for their device's shells.
And that appears to be exactly what Samsung is going to do with the Galaxy Note 4, as rumblings on the new device have begun to be published. According to a number of reports, Samsung is going to be preparing two separate models, one with the cheaper plastic, but also a second for the Note 4 that will allegedly hit all the top-shelf desires of users, including a metal case that can stand up to a little wear and tear.
The move toward higher-end components could be a huge boost for Samsung, which has somewhat fallen into stagnation in the American market where Apple continues to dominate.
"To highlight the luxurious feel, a metal case is adopted," the reports said of the premium Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The Galaxy Note 3 follow-on will reportedly be "crafted from a combination of metals, including aluminum, magnesium and stainless steel."
That is good news for those wanting a Samsung device but who have shied away from picking one up due to the plasticness of the devices. With other companies' devices having metal casings and stronger, more durable components, including offerings from LG, Amazon and HTC, it makes sense that Samsung would push forward into this market with strength.
Most observers expect more information on the new device to rollout ahead of September, when Samsung has hinted it will be launching the new Galaxy Note 4.
One of the more innovative features that the Note is reportedly going to have is a flexible display. Last year, a Samsung Galaxy Round statement said the company had "increased yield rates" of flexible screens by 50 percent, but with the rigidness of a metal body, this feature, if successfully manufactured, could give Samsung the market edge it is seeking.
