There are speculations that the Galaxy Note 6 release date may happen this August. It is believed that the device may be available this summer.

PC Advisor reported that Samsung's Note series is set to return in the U.K. this August with the Galaxy Note 6 release date. The phablet may be priced at £630, about $900.

The Galaxy Note 6 specs will reportedly feature a new waterproof design and iris scanner. The device is also believed to have 6 GB of RAM and will run on Android N.

"Samsung tends to hold an Unpacked event in which it unveils the new Note around the middle of August," the publication wrote for its Galaxy Note 6 release date news. "The latest we've seen a new Note launch is immediately preceding IFA, which this year runs 2-7 September, making a 1 September launch possible."

A source told Tech Radar that Samsung will not be launching the Galaxy S7 Edge+ in the U.K. The company did not release the Note 5 in Europe.

"I got the impression that it had been a bit of a disappointment sales-wise and that the decision to keep the Note 5 out of Europe is now considered a mistake," the insider said. " So our information is that the Note 6 will launch in the UK in August and that there will be no S7 Edge+."

Neurogadget noted that a Samsung employee confirmed that the Galaxy Note 6 release date will be this August. Moreover, Android N will reportedly be finished this summer.

It was previously reported that the Galaxy Note 6 release date may come earlier due to S7's success in the market. It was noted that Samsung may be developing the habit of releasing their devices sooner and with a cheaper price.

The company's sales are expected to triple the profits gained by the S6 models at this time last year. This year's lineup is believed to reach 9 million units during their first month on the market.
