Samsung Rumored To Annoucne The Galaxy Note 5 Before The Next iPhone

Looks like Samsung is planning to move up the launch of the Galaxy Note 5 by a month to avoid competing with Apple's annual iPhone event in September, according to The Wall Street Journal. Samsung will reportedly unveil the next Galaxy Note in mid-August instead of announcing the smartphone at the IFA Berlin trade show in early September as it has done the last few years. Apple introduced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus just 6 days after the Galaxy Note 4 was announced on September 3 last year, shifting the medias coverage and consumer attention away from Samsung.
