When the first Samsung Galaxy Note hit the market 4 years ago, few predicted a good future for a device that was not among the characteristics of a smartphone or tablet, due to its measurements.
Today, however, it has become one of the most sought-after Android phones . And it continues to attract the attention of many Android phone users , since just a few days ago, its latest version, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 , was unveiled. Its design, which follows the style of previous models like the Note 4, hasn't surprised anyone, nor has its technical specifications (similar to the Galaxy S6), and it aims to once again dominate the phablet market.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is expected to be released on August 21st in the United States , although some sources claim its European launch could be delayed until Christmas 2015, coinciding with the peak sales season. This raises the question: what's the point of presenting an Android phone in August if we won't have it in our hands until December? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments…
As for the price, launch promotion is not going to be exactly. Samsung has also not given any clues yet, but the prices in the United States will be:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 5 32GB will be priced at $899
- The 64GB will go up to $999
It may be risky to say that the price in euros will be 799 euros for 32 GB and 899 euros for 64 GB. But this has no official confirmation from Samsung.
