Best Buy Says Galaxy Note 7 ‘Coming Soon’; Pulls Down Listing

Updated on

Samsung will put all the rumors and speculations about its Galaxy Note 7 to end when it unveils the device tomorrow in New York. Here’s how you can watch the live stream of the Galaxy Unpacked event. Even before the device was unveiled, Best Buy went ahead to post a Galaxy Note 7 “coming soon” page on its page. The company took down the listing pretty quickly, but not before folks at Phone Arena captured a screenshot.

The listing did not reveal much, except confirming the name and suggesting that the phone will go on sale soon after tomorrow’s event. The page was probably published early by accident. There have been reports that the Note 7 will be available for purchase in South Korea on the same day (Aug.2). Europe and North America are said to get the device in mid-August. Pre-orders could start shortly after the unveiling in New York.

Best Buy may put the listing back on its website with more details tomorrow after Samsung has unveiled it. Last week, noted tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer of NoWhereElse.fr leaked press renders of the Galaxy Note 7 and the next-gen Gear VR headset. The renders reveal that the Note 7 will have a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, 4GB RAM, a 12-megapixel main camera with OIS and f/1.7 aperture, and an 8MP front camera.

The Gear VR headset won’t see a major design overhaul, though its viewing angle has been increased from 96 degrees to 110 degrees. It is also said to support the USB Type-C port. The virtual reality headset will be compatible with older Samsung phones like the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Edge+.
