Leaked details revolving around the follow-up to last year's Galaxy Note 5 sparked great haste in June, when it was divulged that Samsung was only planning to debut a single curved screen model of its next-generation flagship phablet and that device would leave out the Galaxy Note 6 name in favor of Galaxy Note 7, TechTimes reported.
Rumor mills swirled a slew of speculations hinting that Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy Note 7 at an Unpacked event scheduled for August 2.
Finally putting a lid on all the speculations doing rounds, Samsung has officially announced it will conduct an Unpacked event on August 2 to unwrap the Galaxy Note 7.
The company also divulged its plan behind skimming over the Galaxy Note 6 name in favor of Galaxy Note 7.
Why It's Called Galaxy Note7 instead of Galaxy Note6?
Opening up about the reason why "it's called Galaxy Note 7 instead of Galaxy Note 6," a post on Samsung Newsroom explains there are a couple of reasons behind the company's rather unconventional decision.
First, the Galaxy Note 7 name complements Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and thus brings the company's product portfolio together.
Second, the Galaxy Note 7 will curb any sort of confusion as far as the latest mobile technology from Samsung is concerned, and offer full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone.
