Samsung fanatics are patiently waiting for the South Korean tech giant's next release, which is believed to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 6. However, rumor has it that despite being a fresh release, the Note 6 won't be shipped with the latest operating system, Android N.

Previously, Note 6 is rumored to be one of the first few devices to have the Android N operating system straight from the box. But according to a leaked user profile of the device, the Note 6 will run on an Android Marshmallow OS.

This may not come as a surprise for a lot of Android fans since Samsung is known to receive software updates late. Google has yet to name the new Android operating system and it's highly likely that the 2016 Nexus devices will receive the update first once it gets released.

Meanwhile, the Note 6 is not only rumored to get a Marshmallow OS, but reports about the next device not being a Note 6 have also made the rounds. A couple of weeks ago, SamMobile reported about a source who revealed that Samsung will skip a number and the next device will instead be called the Note 7, the reason for which is to avoid giving the wrong impression to consumers.

"When Galaxy Note 6 that has its model number lower than Galaxy S7, which is the newest model, is released, it can give out a feeling that it is an outdated phone," says a high-ranking official, as reported by the news outlet.

On the heels of this rumor comes a leak that seems to hint that it's likely the case for the next device. NowhereElse's Steve Hemmerstoffer posted an alleged leaked photo that shows a big number 7 with the words "The Next Note" written below it. It is unclear if the photo is legitimate but Samsung's logo was not placed, suggesting it's not official.

Samsung has not confirmed anything yet regarding its next device, so fans may need to take the reports with a pinch of salt. More updates should be dropped soon.
