Samsung has announced a new version of the Galaxy Note 4 that can download files and connect to the internet faster than the current model and standard LTE smartphones, reports Business Insider. 

The South Korean electronics and technology company says the new LTE-A Tri Band CA-enabled Galaxy Note 4 will offer consumers download speeds up to 300 megabits per second (Mbps).

The average download speeds on 4G LTE networks in the U.S. is 6.5 Mbps, according to a report by OpenSignal in February.

Samsung claims that, at that rate, users can download 10 songs in one second.

The secret behind the faster download is the Galaxy Note 4's ability to aggregate three different kinds of frequency bands into a single connection. The smartphone can pick and choose connections with the best bandwidth.

The technology, called "carrier aggregation," was introduced by Samsung with the Galaxy S4, but, like the new Note 4, is only available in Korea. U.S. carriers have not fully launched the aggregation networks.

American semiconductor company Qualcomm and Chinese phone manufacturer Huawei have begun testing on LTE CAT 9 carrier aggregation with The Snapdragon 810 chip, which is expected to hit U.S. retail devices next year. 

There are also reports that the new Galaxy Note 4 operates on a different processor than the standard model, according to Business Insider.  

Here is a list of notable Note 4 features:

  • Removable battery (Apple doesn't offer this) for easy replacement while on-the-go
  • The screen is not full HD like the iPhone, but it boasts a brilliant high-resolution screen that is impressive
  • High-quality outdoor photographs using the 16-megapixel camera
  • Use a micro SD card to add up to 128 GB of storage
  • No other popular smartphone comes with a stylus, and the S-Pen boasts mouse-like properties with the ability to write and draw on the screen

Samsung has not said when the new Galaxy Note 4 will launch or its retail price.
