Samsung's next phablet will be called Galaxy Note 7 instead of Note 6, new report claims

25 May, 2016
It is alleged that the Korean company wants all of its flagships released in the same year to have the same number - S7 and Note 7 in 2016, for example.

This is ridiculous. When the S8 comes out, customers will think that it's older than the Note 7.

The Note 3 is newer than the S4, but the Note 7 will be older than the S8. That is NOT consistant. I am very ANGRY!!!

    I think it is a good idea. When people ask me what phone I am thinking of getting, they always say, "Why are you getting an old phone?". Getting sick of it.

          vrvly, 25 May 2016No xperia Z6, no note6. Wonder what will happen to lg G6...... moremaybe the number "6" is a bad number for the company that's why they want to remove it

            Someone Else, 26 May 2016It is rather logical for them to make this move. Remember w... moreI agree....note 4 is better than note 5 even if the specs of the note 5 is higher than note 4 based on my experience, I'm more comfortable using my note 4 than note 5

                  tally the name is the great move too. although the phone salesman will help push which ever high profit model to the consumer.
                  you should reserve more profit to phone shop who willing help sell your Samsung phone. let us be that donkey pay more for your brand.

                      Samsung should skip Note 8 instead, since that model had been used before for their previous tablet model.

                        - A Note that doesn't have the same boring design like every other previous Note.
                        - Reduced bloatware.
                        - OTA updates on time.
                        - A new UI (Touchwiz is so rubbish)

                        Anyone else is welcome to add to the above....
