Samsung’s Galaxy Note series of phablets seems to get better and better and a new patent filing indicates that the best may still be yet to come. SammyToday flags a recently filed Samsung design patent that shows what looks like a potential future design for a Samsung phablet. The design drawings show a device whose display has incredibly thin bezels and no buttons on the bottom, which is a major departure from the designs of all other Samsung flagship devices. The drawings also clearly show a slot in the bottom of the device for a stylus, which means it’s likely that the design is of a future Galaxy Note and not the Galaxy S5. Pictures of the design patent follow below.
