Samsung officially reveals the name launch date of next Galaxy Note

Samsung officially reveals the name launch date of next Galaxy Note

Samsung typically launches new Galaxy Note flagships at IFA, but this year its next high-end phablet will arrive a bit sooner. The South Korean maker today announces that its second Unpacked event of 2016, which will see the latest Galaxy Note device or devices debut, will take place on August 2.
 
This announcement is different than what we have come to expect from Samsung, as, on top of the usual launch date, it also reveals the name of the Galaxy Note device and even hints at some of the changes that we should look forward to.
 
First off, lets talk about the name. Samsung says that the upcoming Galaxy Note device will actually be called Galaxy Note7. The current model, which launched at IFA 2015, bears the Galaxy Note 5 moniker. Worth noting here is the lack of spacing between "Note" and "7", which is unusual for a Samsung Galaxy flagship -- and jarring, in my opinion.
 
The reason why it is called Galaxy Note7 and not Galaxy Note6 is so that Samsung can have a consistent naming scheme for the flagship Galaxy products that it launches in a year. A few months ago we saw the introduction of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, so it would make sense to align the generation number -- 7, in this case -- of the new Galaxy Note product to that of its sister devices.
 
This will allow Samsung to "minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology" that it introduces. While I believe that enthusiasts will know which Galaxy Note is the latest in the line, for those who are familiar with the Galaxy S range it may be a bit confusing to see a newer product sporting a lower number at the end.
 
Now, what can you expect come August 2? "With added functionality of the S Pen and large screen, the Galaxy Note7 is a powerful instrument for achievement and self-expression, and is made for those who want to get the most from their phones -- and their lives. Galaxy Note7 will help people do more in work, at home and everywhere in between. We can�t wait to tell you more about it!", says Samsung.
 
The launch event will take place in New York, at 11am EDT, with secondary launch events to be held in London at 4:00pm/16:00 BST and Rio de Janeiro at noon. There will be a livestream and, as usual, we will cover the event.
