Samsung Galaxy Note 5 launching a month earlier than usual

The newest phablet from Samsung is set to launch a month earlier than usual, as soon as August, according to the latest rumours

Samsung Mobile has managed quite the coup in recent years, managing to dominate the global market share for handsets against its main rival Apple. The latest figures show Samsung with a 26.8 percent share of the market, while Apple has fallen to just 16.4 percent.

And the Korean tech giants are intent on keeping that lead, speeding up their manufacturing process to get their latest flagship handsets to market as soon as possible. At least that's according to rumours, which suggest that the new Galaxy Note 5 could release in August 2015. That's a good month earlier than usual, with past models generally arriving in September.
