A new report from ETNews says that Samsung will move from Galaxy Note 5 directly to Galaxy Note 7. The move has an obvious marketing purpose: make sure customers know this year’s Galaxy Note is a fresh device, rather than a handset from last year.
“When Galaxy Note 6 that has its model number lower than Galaxy S7, which is the newest model, is released, it can give out a feeling that it is an outdated phone,” a high-ranking official said.
