Samsung Galaxy Note 7 WILL Launch on August 2

According to ALL the rumours the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be an absolute BEAST with 6GB of RAM, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, a brand new high-end camera and a shed-load of new software tweaks to make the whole S-Pen stylus experience and multitasking on the big screen better than EVER. On top of that, rumours are now consistently saying the the Galaxy Note 7 will feature a 5.8in QHD Super AMOLED EDGE display with the signature curved screen edges seen on the Galaxy S7 edge. Unlike the Galaxy S7 series, however, this will be the sole model rather than having two variants.

Other rumours point to new software for S-Pen, a potential 500+ GB of storage with a microSD card, a complete redesign of the chassis, market-leading 10nm memory and a bunch more besides. Samsung will want to hit the ground running with the Galaxy Note 7, as it is the company’s last line of defence against Apple’s iPhone 7.

And like many people in the industry, Samsung likely knows that Apple’s next update could well be quite dull, resembling last year’s model with a few internal tweaks. For this reason, Samsung will push very hard in order to build on the momentum established by the AWESOME Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7: Release Date & Launch

Samsung has now confirmed the Galaxy Note 7 will launch on August 2 in New York, confirming previous rumours about the launch date. Samsung confirmed the news in a blog post and provided the world with its usual vague poster — this one features the S-Pen, as you can see below:

As for what this means for a release date, well, it’s anyone’s guess. Samsung could hit the ground running and confirm a release date immediately after launch or, more likely, it could wait a few weeks before unleashing the handset to retailers.

Samsung will almost certainly try and get the Galaxy Note 7 out before the release of the iPhone 7; no one wants that kind of heat accompanying the release of a new phone, regardless of its capabilities. This means we should, in all likelihood, expect to see the Galaxy Note 7 released before the end of August at the very latest.
