Galaxy Note 5 Release (U.S.): 10 Important Details

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 release is all but confirmed and it looks like the company’s new flagship is heading to the United States. With a launch on the horizon, we take a look at the 10 most important things U.S. buyers need to know about the Galaxy Note 5 release.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rumors have been surfacing for several months though they’ve started to pick up as we’ve moved toward the company’s familiar Galaxy Note launch window.

For those that are unfamiliar, for the past four years Samsung’s launched the Galaxy Note in and around the start of the IFA trade show in Berlin, Germany. For instance, last year’s Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge emerged at the start of the show in early September.

This year, it seems, Samsung will be doing things a little differently. Instead of an event scheduled for IFA 2015 in early September, the company’s planned an Unpacked event for a date that’s much earlier than your standard Galaxy Note launch date. And that means that we could see the Galaxy Note 5 hit the U.S., and other territories, before the start of the fall.

In the past month, we’ve seen a ton of credible Galaxy Note 5 rumors and many of them pertain to the device’s rumored and highly anticipated launch inside the United States. We don’t have all of the details just yet but there are a number of important ones that you’ll want to keep in mind if you plan to buy on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, or Verizon.

With a Galaxy Note 5 launch (and perhaps, a release) just a few short days away, we want to take a look at the U.S. Galaxy Note 5 release. Here’s what you need to know as we push into August.
