On August 13, 2015, Samsung announced the 5th generation of Galaxy Note phone: Galaxy Note 5 (together with Galaxy S6 edge+). In Asia, Galaxy Note 5 has been available two days later (August 15). In the US and North America, the release date is August 21.
If you are a long-term Galaxy Note device user, you will notice Galaxy Note 5 was announced 2-3 weeks earlier than its predecessors.
All previous generations of Galaxy Note phones were announced at IFA Berlin (International Radio Exhibition Berlin, Berlin Radio Show). The event usually starts in last week of August or the first week of September. Galaxy Note (Note 1) was announced at IFA Berlin 2011, Galaxy Note II at IFA Berlin 2012 (August 29, 2012), Galaxy Note 3 at IFA Berlin 2013 (September 4, 2013), and Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge at IFA Berlin 2014 (September 3, 2014).
But this year, Samsung desperately rolled out Galaxy Note 5 earlier due to competition of the 5.5″ iPhone 6 Plus, and the upcoming S version of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus next month.
So, Samsung not only announced Galaxy Note 5 three weeks earlier than IFA Berlin 2015 but also released it immediately. It used to take Samsung 1-2 months to release Galaxy Note devices after the device was announced.
