Galaxy Note 4 rumours return to the spotlight, as fresh details of Samsung's upcoming flagship phablet have surfaced online via some unidentified insider information reportedly obtained by SamMobile.

According to the leak, Samsung will be packing a 16-megapixel rear camera powered by Sony IMX240 sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS). The rear camera is said to be capable of Ultra HD video recording (3840 x 2160) at 30FPS.

Contrary to its tradition of employing a 2.1MP front camera on its devices, Samsung is reportedly introducing a new 3.7MP camera sensor on the front for the Galaxy Note 4 which will be capable of capturing images and videos in WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution.

Galaxy Note 4 is apparently borrowing a lot of technology from the current flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, as the report claims Samsung is testing the Side Touch technology on the next-gen phablet.

The Side Touch technology is apparently designed to replace the existing physical camera button at the bottom right hand side of the device which enables the user to capture images with a simple tap.

On the flip side, the Side Touch fails to work in Portrait mode, Easy Mode or while recording video, besides the lack of auto-focus capability which is possible with a half-press on any physical camera button.

On the software front, users can enjoy a gesture-based shortcut for quick access to the camera when the display is off. The gesture-based input involves tapping the screen with two fingers and swiping them apart to launch the camera app.

Other key additions to camera features include new camera modes such as Wide Selfie, Selfie, Selfie Alarm and Creating a GIF, besides retaining the popular camera features from the Note 4: HDR Live, Selective Focus, Fast Auto-focus and more.

SamMobile has duly compiled the complete list of picture resolutions, effects, video resolutions and camera modes supported by the Galaxy Note 4. Check them out here:
