Production Of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 To Start Next Month

The inventory of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 may have increased in preparation for its release in August. ETNews reported that Samsung will produce five million units of the phablet for its initial rollout in the coming months. The tech news site cited an anonymous source within the industry.

The South Korean company produced five million units of the Galaxy Note 5 last year for one quarter. The large initial inventory for the stylus-based device reflects the expectations of better sales for the model this year by the company.

Samsung had to deal with slow smartphone sales in recent years. However, the high demand for the Samsung Galaxy S7 resulted to a 12 percent surge in earnings in the last quarter. Due to this, the company is expecting a similar demand for the latest model of the Galaxy Note device.

ETNews indicated that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will feature a dual-edge display screen. Curved sides are already featured on the S6 Edge and S7 Edge. The curved display of the Galaxy Note Edge was limited to one side. The upcoming device will be the first time a Galaxy Note will feature two curved edges. It will reportedly also feature an iris scanner and 5.8-inch display.

The Galaxy Note may be launched on August 2 based on an image that was leaked through Sammobile and other tech sites. The tagline of the image indicates that the “next edge is just around the corner. The Note 5 is the current Note model of Samsing. However, the Note 6 name will reportedly be bypassed by the company to bring consistency in the numbering of its Galaxy devices.

If the reports prove to be true, the South Korean company may have to work double time to ensure the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be available for its supposed launch date.
