Samsung to announce Galaxy Note 5 in July ahead of Apple's iPhone launch in Sept?

 Samsung typically refreshes its Galaxy Note lineup in end August or early September before IFA.

Consumers who are waiting for the Galaxy Note 5 may only have to wait for another two months.

According to Korean news site WhoWired, Samsung is said to be unveiling the Galaxy Note 5 at the end of July. In addition, the South Korean phone maker reportedly accelerated the release plan to complete the prototype in mid June and informed global telcos to take pre-orders before its launch. 

Quoting information from major bloggers in the industry, WhoWired claims that the Galaxy Note 5 will come with a 5.89-inch 4K display while its Edge counterpart will sport a 5.78-inch display. The Galaxy Note 5 is rumored to be just 7.9mm thin and will be equipped with a whopping 4,100mAh battery. 

It is believed that Apple's explosive sales of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus prompted Samsung to push forward its launch schedule to gain a head start. However, the latest report does not coincide with earlier reports from SamMobile that Samsung might be only releasing the Galaxy Note 5 this year. Samsung is also alleged to be releasing another smartphone with a curved display before September.
