WSJ: Samsung won’t launch the Galaxy Note 5 at IFA

According to a report published by The Wall Street Journal earlier today, Samsung will not be taking the wraps off its upcoming flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 5, at Berlin’s IFA trade show in September this year. It will, instead, move its announcement forward a few weeks in order to avoid competing for attention with the unveiling of the latest iPhone, which usually takes place just after IFA.

This isn’t the first time Samsung has released a smartphone in an uncustomary month, though. Back in August, 2014, it launched the Galaxy Alpha, which did extremely well during its first couple of months on the market. The fact that the Asia-based manufacturer has done this before adds credibility to the report as it makes sense for it to follow in the same footsteps for its fifth-generation phablet.

If recent leaks, rumors and speculation are anything to go by, the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 is expected to pack a 5.67-inch Super-AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, an Exynos 7422 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter.
