We're less than one month from Samsung Galaxy Note 5's official reveal if we are to believe the latest rumors pointing to an August 12 unveil.

This means that more info on the upcoming phablet should pop up online in the next few weeks, including pictures of the smartphone.

Even though we showed you several renders of the Galaxy Note 5 a few days ago, a new set of pictures have just been published online.

They do not really come up with anything new but confirm the controls layout and the overall design of the smartphone.

Spotted by GSMArena, the renders have been posted by UK-based retailer MobileFun and show the Obliq cases for Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

According to MobileFun, the cases for the phablet should arrive in the next few weeks, which could be evidence that Samsung is indeed planning to release the Galaxy Note 5 as early as next month.

An August release for Galaxy Note 5 is quite possible

As we reported to you previously, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is now expected to be announced on August 12 with a tentative release on the market on August 21.

However, word is the phablet won't be available worldwide from later August and that Europeans will have to wait at least a few more weeks for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to arrive in their countries.

The Galaxy Note 5 will feature the same design as the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, so fans of the Note series should expect the next phablet to come with a glass back.

Moreover, the smartphone will be powered by Samsung's homegrown all-in-one Exynos 7422 chipset, which accommodates a 64-bit octa-core processor, a Shannon LTE modem and 4GB of RAM.

Also, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will sport a large 5.7-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution. There won't be a microSD card slot inside the device and the battery is likely to be non-removable.
