Samsung Galaxy Note 7 release date rumors: Launch imminent as mass production begins next month?

There has been very limited information about the anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 7 coming this year, although the recent scoops in the internet suggest that the latest Samsung phablet may be released sooner than expected. In fact, the mass production of the new Galaxy Note 7 units is rumored to begin as early as next month, leading to a possible release of the brand new devices in August.

Regarding the new model's name, it was already rumored that Samsung will skip the "Galaxy Note 6" label for its upcoming phablet model. Instead, the South Korean electronics company will be introducing their new offering as Galaxy Note 7. This is due to a marketing strategy to keep the number sequence of Samsung's newest flagship gadgets. This year is also expected to see the arrival of Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, and if Samsung released their latest phablet model as Galaxy Note 6, it might cause confusion among the buyers.

According to Tech Times, the mass production of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will commence in July, and the process will continue until the early days of August. After all the units are processed, the new Galaxy Note will be ready for unboxing by late August, or possibly by September. It is expected that around 5 million Galaxy Note 7 units will be produced until their expected market release.

The same publication also noted another sign that Galaxy Note 7 is indeed arriving soon, with Samsung setting up a new User Agent (AA) profile page on their website. Specifically, the new profile web page is intended for a product called SM-N930F. This device codename might actually be referring to the new Galaxy Note model, as Galaxy Note 5 is given the code SM-N920.

Galaxy Note 7 Info reported that the new Galaxy Note is possible to be released sometime in August or September 2016, as that would be the most probable period for Samsung to have a huge product release. It was also noted that the company's pattern of new device launching from Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series for the past couple of years coincides with those months.
