Samsung Galaxy Note 6 Release Date Set For Aug. 15 In US

Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Note 6 a month ahead of the iPhone 7 as it seeks to gain an advantage over its main rival in the large-screen smartphone market.

According to Evan Blass, who has a long history of accurately breaking news about yet-to-be-announced smartphones, the Galaxy Note 6 will go on sale on Aug. 15 in the U.S., which is six days earlier than the Galaxy Note 5 went on sale last year.
