The South Korean electronics giant is yet to make any official announcement on its upcoming Galaxy Note 5, but SamMobile has reported, citing insiders, that the device would be announced on 12 August and released on 21 August.
The report came after Wall Street Journal reported that Samsung was planning to release Galaxy Note 5 in August instead of the usual autumn launch.

It is expected to come with features like a 5.4-inch or 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, Exynos 7422 processor, 16GB internal storage and 4GB RAM, 16mp main camera and 8mp front-snapper, and 4,100mAh battery.
SamMobile has reported citing sources that Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920) would sport a 5.67-inch Super AMOLED display with flat and 2,560x1,440 pixels screen, and come in four colours - black, gold, silver and white.
