Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to launch on August 2

Samsung has sent out invites for its Galaxy Note 7 event, which will take place on August 2 in New York.

It had previously been rumoured that Samsung would bring forward the launch of the phablet and that’s exactly how things have panned out. Traditionally, Samsung unveils its new Note devices at the end of August prior to IFA.

The invite is pretty simple; it features a stylus icon and the tag line, “7 Unpacked 2016.” It's also worth noting that this makes it official that the device will be called the Galaxy Note 7, as had been rumoured.
