Leaked pic indicates Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will launch August 2nd
July 19, 2025
Samsung’s Galaxy Note series has always been in the spotlight, be it for making the phablet popular,showing off its curves,rekindling controversy, or warning people aboutproper pen placement. This year looks to be no different, as the new Note hasn’t even been announced yet but has already attracted a fair share of attention. Several weeks ago, Evan Blass (@evleaks) indicated thatthe product would see launch in roughly two monthsand now a new leak, courtesy of SamMobile, has seemingly suggested the same:
The above image looks to be leaked from either an invite to be sent to the press, or else a possible design layout for promotional posters to paste in public. There are several key points to glean from it:
Assuming this leak is legit, that the Note 7 will launch early is not really news so much as it just reiterates Samsung’s current strategy to push things up in 2016. The real question, now, is more about the curves. It seems quite obvious Samsung will launch a Galaxy Note 7 Edge, but will it be the standard – and only – Galaxy Note 7?
While this is mere speculation, the likelihood is somewhat low, given that (1) Samsung continues to release “traditional” Galaxy S handsets, (2) the Edge display costs more and therefore will raise the price, and (3) many people simply do not like the curved sides. Samsung has managed to repair some of last year’s damage by including microSD support with the S7, so it would be seemingly foolish for it to anger Note buyers once again by forcing upon all of them a different display dynamic. It is highly likely that there will indeed be two models, but obviously the Edge variant receiving the focus.
