With the Galaxy Note 5 launch and release date quickly approaching, more and more smartphones continue to arrive. Summer is almost over and most phone have been released from all the major names. Those in the market for a big-screen Android phone are likely weighing all of their options, like the new Moto X, or waiting for the upcoming Galaxy Note 5.

Originally no one expected the Moto X to compete with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 5, considering the screen size, but earlier this week the new 2015 Moto X “Pure Edition” or “Style” was revealed with a huge 5.7-inch display, instantly putting it in-line to take on Samsung’s Note 5.

After months of reports and rumors on July 28th Motorola revealed the new Moto X “Style” with a massive 5.7-inch Quad-HD display, some top tier specs and tons of customization. There’s also a new Moto G for all, and a Moto X Play for regions outside the United States. At the same time, rumors of the Note 5 have been everywhere as well, along with a new Galaxy S6 Edge+, both which will battle Motorola’s latest phone.

Motorola’s new smartphone has a lot to offer, but it will also have to compete with other flagship premium devices with the same type of huge screen. Most notably the popular and impressive Galaxy Note 5. It’s going to be revealed in just about two weeks, and if you’re considering one or the other, all the information below should help buyers make an informed decision, or pass on both and get something now.

The Galaxy Note 5 is stacking up to be Samsung’s best Note device yet, but some of the changes could also come with compromises. Things that buyers who choose to get the 2015 Moto X Pure Edition may not have to deal with.

In a surprise turn of events both of these phones are getting shown off much earlier than expected, but Motorola's still not releasing its new 2015 Moto X "Pure Edition" until sometime this September. This could end up being bad for Moto, because this year Samsung moved up it's release by over a month. 

The Galaxy Note 5 will be announced on August 13th in New York City, and a slew of rumors are suggesting it will be released from all major US carriers on April 21st. Or at least AT&T, with other US carriers pushing it out before the end of the month.

Originally we expected a similar September unveil and October release date, like the past four years, but that isn't the case. This means that the Note 5 will be official in two weeks, and possibly available to buy in just 3 weeks. Sooner than the Moto X and it's "September release" whenever that may be.

    Couple typos. On the first page you say the note might be out “April 21”

    Second is “it’s”. It is a contraction, not an ownership word. For example, ” Samsung and its phone ” is correct. Not “Samsung and it is phone”

    TouchWiz. That right there is enough for me to never buy a Samsung phone.
