In September 2014, the Galaxy Note 4, like its three predecessors, was unveiled at the annual IFA event in Berlin. Many were expecting the same approach this year with an announcement and a mid- or late-October release date. However, it seems that the new Galaxy Note 5 came much sooner to take on the competition and beat Apple in the market.

While we don’t know everything about the all-new Galaxy Note 5 yet, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect.
