Samsung Electronics to Name Its Next Galaxy Note as Galaxy Note 7 Instead of Galaxy Note 6

Samsung Electronics has chosen the name of new Galaxy Note as ‘Galaxy Note 7’and has decided to continue popularity of Galaxy S7. It has decided to skip over Galaxy Note 6 to eliminate any inconsistency with an image that can occur as numbers of two products’ brands are different. It is also applying dual-edge on Note series for the first time. This is seen as Samsung Electronics’ strategy to maximize marketability of ‘Galaxy Note7’, which is considered as Samsung Electronics’ biggest anticipated product, and to widen a gap between itself and Apple. According to multiple representative of telecommunication industry, Samsung Electronics has chosen the name of new Galaxy Note, which is to be released in second half of 2016, as Galaxy Note 7. Although it is supposedly be called as Galaxy Note 6 as Galaxy Note 5 was released last year, Samsung Electronics made a bold decision of jumping over one level. “Within Samsung Electronics, a new Galaxy Note is already being called as Galaxy Note 7.” said a representative for an industry. This is the first time Samsung Electronics is jumping over a number since it started releasing Galaxy Smartphones. Starting from 2010 until now, it has numbered Galaxy S series from 1 through 7 without leaving any numbers out. Starting from 2011 until last year, it had numbered Galaxy Note series from 1 through 5 without leaving any numbers out. It is uncommon to jump over a number for Smartphones that are released in series. LG Electronics had steadily released G series from Optimus G to G5, and Sony also released its Xperia Z series from 1 through 5. Only Apple once skipped over iPhone 2 in 2008 and released iPhone 3G since iPhone was released in 2007. One of the most important reasons on why Samsung Electronics has decided to skip over Galaxy Note 6 is because it wants to make model number of Galaxy Note consistent with Galaxy S7. Model number of Galaxy Note series is always one number lower than Galaxy S series because it was released one year later than Galaxy S series. Click to read the rest of the article
