President and CEO Shin Jong Kyun of Samsung Electronics’ IM Unit dismissed a rumor that Galaxy Note 5 might be released in July. As initially expected, Galaxy Note 5 will be made to public at IFA 2015 in September.

President Shin met with reporters as he was on his way to a conference with other presidents that was held at Samsung Electronics building on the 20th. When he was asked about the rumor that Galaxy Note 5 might be released in July, He completely dismissed a rumor by saying July is just around the corner and it is not true.

Some were predicting that Galaxy Note 5 will be released earlier than the original date to maintain Galaxy S6’s success. But these rumors that are floating around came to an end as President Shin himself said those rumors are false. Until now, Samsung Electronics made Galaxy S series to public at Mobile World Congress (MWC) and Galaxy Note Series at IFA.

President Shin also dismissed the rumor that sale of Galaxy S6 is in a slump. Samsung Electronics is currently marketing Galaxy S6 as it decided on a goal of selling more than 70 million which is the largest ever.
