Among the many rumors circulating in recent weeks, the only certainty was the date of presentation of the Galaxy Note 5 . A source in the Wall Street Journal has however revealed that the new model will not be announced during the IFA in Berlin . Samsung have decided to break the tradition in place since 2011 for not giving a “head-start” the rival always: Apple .

All previous models of the Galaxy Note were revealed during the German event in early September. The Galaxy Note 4 was announced September 3, 2014, it arrived in stores a month later. Even Apple has chosen the month of September for the launch of the iPhone 6 (on 9 to be exact), but sales have started before (September 19). To avoid making the same mistake of timing, Samsung would have decided to anticipate the launch of the Galaxy Note 5 in mid-August .

In this way, the producer could use a greater visibility window by the press and potential buyers. The arrival of the iPhone 6S fact monopolize the attention of the entire mobile industry, relegating to the background the phablet Korean. So far, the only smartphone announced by Samsung in August was the Galaxy Alpha, the first model with metal frame.

The other reason that would have prompted the manufacturer to the early launch would be linked to lower sales the expectations of the Galaxy S6. For the seventh consecutive quarter, Samsung forecast a drop in profits, despite the new model has achieved a greater success of the Galaxy S5.

The Galaxy Note 5 should have a Super AMOLED display Quad HD (2560 × 1440 pixels) by 5.7 inch , an octa-core Exynos 7422 processor, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory UFS 2.0, expandable with microSD. Almost certain the presence of a USB Type-C and likely use of a magnetic stylus.
