In just three weeks, Samsung will unveil its long-awaited flagship phablet of 2014, the Galaxy Note 4. The South Korean company has now started advertising its arrival, but strangely the majority of its promotion is only targeted at the Chinese market.

Earlier today, a handful of reports appeared online, revealing masses of Galaxy Note 4 banners plastered all over Beijing’s famous Chang’an Avenue. These posters not only tease the release of the device, but give us a glimpse at the handset’s ‘candy bar’ form factor, too.

In addition, Samsung is currently running a contest that can score the winner a Galaxy Note 3 on the extremely popular Chinese social networking website, Weibo, and couldn’t resist the opportunity to plug the not-yet-announced successor to the phablet at the end of the post by reminding entrants and viewers that the ‘next big thing is coming soon.’

If recent leaks and rumors are anything to go by, the Note 4 it set to be an extremely powerful device, packing a 5.7-inch QHD display, a Snapdragon 805 or Exynos 5 Octacore chipset, a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera equipped with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), 3GB of RAM and a 3,200mAh removable Li-Ion battery.

As we know with all leaks, rumors and speculation, we have to take these alleged specifications with a large pinch of salt until Samsung provides us with some solid evidence with regards to what it has in store for the Galaxy Note 4, but thankfully we don’t have too long to wait. Be sure to check back for more information.
