Samsung rumoured to be unveiling Galaxy Note 5 mid-August to oneup 'iPhone 6s' launch

If you follow Samsung's schedule for releases, the next Note device should show up at IFA Berlin conference. But it would seem they won't be following this schedule, if rumours are to be believed, that is. A source told The Wall Street Journal that Samsung plans to unveil its next Galaxy Note device at a special event in the U.S. around mid-August. The move is supposedly meant to preempt the publicity for the latest iPhone iteration (iPhone 6s or whatever it's new name will be). If this pushes through, Samsung will be joining the line of big tech companies that prefer to hold special events for their launches (Apple, Google, and Microsoft).
