Samsung is going to live stream its last major press conference for this year, the Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event where the South Korean company is expected to unveil the next Galaxy Note series phablet.

Even though the Galaxy Note 4 will be announced later today during an official event that will kick off at 1pm GMT / 2pm BST / 4pm EST / 9am ET, there’s no telling when exactly the smartphone will go on sale.

There’s a high chance Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be available for purchase beginning this month, but we doubt the phone will make its debut on the market in too many countries.

Samsung aims to put its next flagship smartphone on sale ahead of Apple’s iPhone 6, which is supposed to go official on September 9. We will probably know more about the Galaxy Note 4’s availability and pricing options after Samsung’s IFA 2014 press conference.
