Rumor Samsung Galaxy Note 6

Samsung may have already launched a pair of flagship smartphones earlier this year, but that’s not stopping the company from staying on track and launching at least one more in just a few months.

That handset is already being called the Galaxy Note 6, and according to a new report from SamMobile, that handset is apparently going to get a new feature that looks, and acts, similar to the BlackBerry Hub. For those who don’t know, BlackBerry’s Hub is a software feature that brings in pretty much every type of notification you can get on your device, from emails, to text messages, to social media pings. It’s your hub for all things you might find necessary.

Now, Samsung might be adding a similar feature to the Galaxy Note 6 called “Samsung Focus.”

“With the Galaxy Note 6, Samsung seems to be working on a similar feature. This feature is dubbed Samsung Focus, and it will integrate functions like email, calendar, contacts and memos. The aggregation of emails will be one of the major features, with Focus offering options for viewing and responding to emails from various accounts, similar to Google’s Inbox app. We’re unsure if this will include Gmail or only work with Android’s default email app, which went defunct with Android 5.0 but continues to be present on Samsung’s smartphones and tablets.”

A one-stop shop for all of your device’s most important notifications actually sounds like a pretty good idea, especially on the Galaxy Note series. Of course, with a feature like this, it’s already being rumored that it could see the light of day on other Samsung devices at some point down the road.
