August 06, 2025
Last year saw Samsung announce theGalaxy Note 5, only to thenomit it from sale in Europeand despite months of rumors, coupled with a petition to launch the Note 5 in Europe that reached 10,000 signatures, the company held fast. Well, one year on the company has fittingly decided to address the elephant in the room and rather fittingly, it did so during the European launch of the newGalaxy Note 7.
At an event in London, Samsung Europe CMO David Lowes took to the stage acknowledge that the company left its loyal Note customers disappointed with its decision not to launch the Note 5 here last year. During his presentation on the new Note 7, Lowes referenced last year’s decision by saying
He then continued by referencing the petition last year – “I can’t think of any phone that’s supported a campaign around its return” – and saying thatthe petition, showed that Europeans do in fact want the latest Note smartphone.
With that, Lowes continued by digging further into the new Note 7 and if you’re a European Note fan, you’ll be glad to know that the Note 7 is launching in Europe on September 2, with pre-orders launching August 16 and early pre-orders being delivered three days before the official release.
