Samsung to launch Galaxy Note 5 in mid-August
The Wall Street Journal reports that Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy Note 5 by mid-August to avoid fighting for consumers' attention in September when Apple is believed to unveil its new iPhones.

Samsung is breaking tradition this year by launching the Galaxy Note 5 earlier than expected.
According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a person familiar with the matter claims that Samsung will be launching the Galaxy Note 5 in mid-August. In addition, we can confirm that Samsung is holding a launch event in the U.S. this year instead of Berlin where it had launched the previous four generations of devices just before the IFA tradeshow kicked off.
This is a deliberate attempt to give more time for its Galaxy Note 5 to shine before Apple launches its new iPhones in September. The Galaxy Note 5 is alleged to come with a 5.7-inch Quad-HD Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 7422 processor, a non-removable 4,100mAh battery and possibly a new automatic ejectable S Pen.
