The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4 very well could have to square off with a phablet-sized iPhone this fall, but Sammy appears to have another trick up its sleeve to reach a wider range of consumers if aSamMobile report is to be believed.
According to the publication, Samsung is developing an Ultrasonic Cover case for the Note 4 - an accessory designed for users with vision disabilities. The cover will reportedly come with three range levels for the ultrasonic beam: short, middle and long.
As BGR notes, Samsung has already created an Ultrasonic Cover case for the Galaxy Core Advanced, a 4.7-inch smartphone.
The Note 4's alleged specs include a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED 1,440x2,560-pixel display, a 16MP rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), 4GB of RAM and16GB, 32GB, or 64GB store options with microSD card availability for up to 128GB.
Depending on the region you live in, the device will come with one of two CPUs: a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 chip or an octa-core Exynos 5433 with four 1.3GHz Cortex-A53 and four Cortex-A57 cores. CNET notes that the Snapdragon has been rumored for the US, with the Exynos headed to international markets.
The device will also reportedly come with Android 4.4.3 KitKat and 802.11ac with a price tag of $813 or €607.
The Note 4 was also recently leaked in alleged new images that show off the massive smartphone's new design features.
The photos, which were published by GSMArena, indicate the rumored device will ditch the fake stitching of the Note 3 for what appears to be a leather back and a new metallic frame. Android Origin reports that Samsung is indeed preparing a Note 4 that will ditch the plastic for metal casing - but just for a premium version. The leak also suggests that the device will feature a flexible display and a 16-megapixel rear facing camera.
In GSMArena's photos, the S Pen holder shows up on the side of the device and a microUSB 3.0 port is situated on the bottom with the speaker grille.
The large-screened smartphone is expected to be unveiled Sept. 3 at a pre-IFA event in Berlin.
Samsung last year launched the device's predecessor, the Galaxy Note 3, on Sept. 5.
