Samsung is expected to unveil its new Galaxy Note 5 phablet at a press conference next month in New York. 

Though the South Korean tech giant, like other companies, normally uses the consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin as a launchpad for new products, this year Samsung announced plans to hold a separate event a few weeks earlier.
