Next month, Samsung will take to New York City for an event that introduces the world to its “latest mobile innovations.” Earlier today, we received the invite for an event being held on August 13 where Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Note 5 and perhaps the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. The image for the invite (seen above) does not give any clear idea of what is to come from Samsung, but the curves could indicate a shift in design language.

The company typically hosts this Unpacked event in September to coincide with IFA; however, Samsung seemingly wants to get in front of Apple and the new iPhone models by making an announcement in August. Rather than making the device available in October, Samsung could release the Galaxy Note 5 sometime in September. This means that Samsung and Apple offerings would go head-to-head almost at the same time instead of the latter company having an advantage of a few weeks.
