Samsung has sent invitations for its Unpacked 2016 event where it’s expected to unveil its latest Note series smartphone on August 2. The invite confirms that the next Note device will be the Note 7.
We already have an idea what the device would like thanks to numerous leaks in the past few months and the features it will hold, like the edge-to-edge curved screen and an iris scanner.

Samsung also explained why it jumped directly to the number 7 in the Notes series.
With added functionality of the S Pen and large screen, the Galaxy Note7 is a powerful instrument for achievement and self-expression, and is made for those who want to get the most from their phones – and their lives. Galaxy Note7 will help people do more in work, at home and everywhere in between. We can’t wait to tell you more about it!
First and foremost though, you might be curious as to why it’s called Galaxy Note7 instead of Galaxy Note6. There are a couple reasons why. First, the Galaxy Note7 will complement our Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and unify our product portfolio. Second, the Galaxy Note7 will minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone.
