I've been starting to see some Note 6 rumors mentioning a possible March release date for it. Others mention the traditional Q3 timeframe.
It makes me wonder. If Samsung had the Note 6 ready for March, would it have any more compelling reasons to hold it back for six more months? Is there any way that doing so could somehow be more valuable to them than six months of lost opportunity selling it, six months of time going by while its superior specs immediately begin their inevitable march toward eventual obsolescence, six months of time lost of being at the top of the list for the highest end device available?
I also wonder, if a March launch is in fact being hatched, if that would be any indication that the Note 5 design and release was a calculated move to just try and come out with something 'on schedule', to try and keep sales from being taken away by competitors offerings, while Samsung was working hard to actually achieve the Note 6's design and production capacities? It still seems hard for me to believe that Samsung could have been expecting the relatively meager improvements to the specs of the Note 5, over it's predecessors, to produce market leading excitement and sales. What is being rumored for the Note 6 seems to me to be what I was expecting the Note 5 would have been by then. Although, I can't say that seems to satisfy as an explanation for why they dropped the microSD in it, and gave it a smaller battery. I still say those decisions came from people who didn't have a winning grasp of what has made the Note series so strongly popular among its buyers.
