Late last month, we saw Samsung Electronics President Shin Jong-kyun denying that a Galaxy Note 5 would be arriving earlier than exxpected. But that would not stop speculations to continue to pop up.
According to the latest report of Tech Times and Expert Reviews, the next high-end phablet would likely come out in September during the IFA event which is slated for September 4 to 9.
Both reports have cited that previous Note phablets had September launches so it would also be likely for fans to see the new device on that same month. Express Reviews further added that the Korean giant usually has its event "a press day" before the actual event launches so expect the new device on the 2nd or 3rd of that month. It added that despite being showcased at the event, the handset would still likely to hit stores a month after.
Who Wired has earlier revealed that the the next Samsung Note phablet would be arriving by end July. It claimed that the production of the device's prototype is expected to be completed by June.
With these expected July or September launch, Tech Times drew the conclusion that the new device would not come out with the Android M in it but it stressed that it is sure that the new handset would likely get an OS upgrade after its release.
The arrival of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was first reported by Sam Mobile through an exclusive report speculating on two new spotted Samsung devices -- one with a model number SM-G928S and another with model number SM-N920F.
Sam Mobile said that the new Note 5 dubbed as Project Noble would have a 2K or a 4K flat-screen Super AMOLED display. It said that Samsung has not yet decided on which to choose but both choices are being considered. It is believed that Samsung would go for the Exynos 7422 processor for the new device. But, Sam Mobile remains skeptical about it saying that Samsung is also pondering to put in the new Exynos 7430 chipset in the new Galaxy Note 5. Sam Mobile however reveaked that it might also not be an Exynos 7430 chip as it is "supposedly just an engineering sample" and that it "isn't ready for prime time yet."
We also revealed in a previous report that an Edge variant for the device might also come out. Sam Mobile said Sam Mobile said that the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Edge, dubbed as the "Project Zen," would have an 8 megapixel front camera and a 16 megapixel main camera. It would be a dual-edge curved 5.4-incher or 5.5-incher device with Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 808 or Exynos 7422 or Exynos 7430 processor. Samsung has yet to confirm rumors.
