The Galaxy Note 5 has launched in Korea, the US, and worldwide, but the biggest disappointment for UK fans was the Korean giant\u2019s announcement that the Galaxy Note 5 would not see a UK launch. UK fans were more than disappointed; they were outraged and wanted to storm Samsung\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n
Well, perhaps it\u2019s the case that Samsung has been waiting to see how the Galaxy S6 edge Plus would be received. A new report says that Samsung may very well send the Galaxy Note 5 to the UK in January 2016, which is next month. Tech source Gadgette<\/em> received word from a Samsung representative who is unnamed in the report:<\/p>\n \u2026a trusted Samsung source has let us know that the company is now planning to bring the 5 to the UK after all, in late January 2016. That\u2019s too late for Christmas, almost half a year later than the rest of the world got it, and right before they unveil their next Galaxy phone in February.<\/p>\n We\u2019re a bit confused by this move, but more phone choice is always welcome.<\/p>\n Our source is the same one who told us a considerable time before the press event that the Note 5 wasn\u2019t coming to the UK, so we\u2019re pretty confident they\u2019re right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n What\u2019s interesting here is to see that Samsung has said that the Galaxy Note 5 will not see a 2016 launch, but the individual Samsung source says to the contrary of the company\u2019s official statement.<\/p>\n Regardless of who\u2019s right, the bottom line is that for many customers, the Galaxy Note 5 will be a \u201chas-been\u201d for many tech enthusiasts who are anxiously awaiting to see what the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Note 6 will bring. The Galaxy Note 5 will be 5 months old by the time it lands in the United Kingdom, meaning that it will be just shy of the \u201cdon\u2019t buy it any longer stage.\u201d The simple reason to refrain from buying a device at that age is because the device will only receive updates for 18 months (meaning that you\u2019ll only have 13 months of updates before Samsung retires the device).<\/p>\n It may be a little too late for the Galaxy Note 5 and UK customer access, but you can\u2019t say Samsung isn\u2019t going to try and make up for turning up its nose at the UK back in August.<\/p>\n
