Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is expected to report its second straight quarter of profit decline as its high-end smartphone business loses steam, a trend likely to sharpen the firm's focus on costs and the cheaper phone market.

The latest Samsung Galaxy Note 4 news will surely delight future owners with vision disabilities. Reports are saying that the next Samsung Note model is set to offer an Ultrasonic cover as accessory.

The Ultrasonic cover is made to help users with vision troubles to detect objects near them due to its embedded ultrasonic sensors, wrote Yahoo. It added further that its ultrasonic beam can be set to three ranges of short, middle and long.

This is not the first time that the Korean tech giant made such an accessory. They have once made such a similar cover for their Galaxy Core Advance unit which is a 4.7-inch smartphone.

Below is a portion of the actual description that a source from SamMobile got from a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 prototype:

"The Product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. This Product is a non-medical device...

"It cannot replace a cane and should never be used as a mobility aid or substitute for any mobility aid tool. It must always be used in combination with a cane, a dog guide, or a human guide because, by itself, it does not provide information necessary for safe travel....

We strongly recommend you to educate yourself fully and abide by the operating procedures of this manual before your first use."

The recently rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 4 specs include continuing on with a big screen, somewhere around 5.9 to 6 inches, same as the LG G Flex. It is expected to arrive with an S-Pen stylus and will of course be powered by the Android operating system.

It is also speculated that it can be able to render personal handwriting recognition for unlocking it and perform other usual functions.

Various insiders have been suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 release date will fall on September 3, during a pre-IFA 2014 Samsung Unpacked event. The invitations for that event have been reportedly sent out already.
