Samsung has not yet revealed when exactly it will roll out its newest products, namely the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge, but it has announced that it will be available through mobile carriers AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and US Cellular.

The phone companies are likewise mum about the release dates, saying only that "the next big thing is coming soon", but T-Mobile does reveal in its website that the Galaxy Note Edge will be coming this Fall, and Galaxy Note 4 will be available in October. It is expected that the other mobile carriers will make the device available on the same day.

Coincidentally, Galaxy Club, a publication in the Netherlands, has reported that the Galaxy Note 4 could be in Dutch stores – and in other parts of Europe – on Oct. 10. The article says that it is now being offered by some stores; and indeed, online shops such as GSMwijzer and Cool Blue Smartphone Shop are accepting pre-orders of the device at €795 when purchased without subscription.

In the US, there is no official information on how much the two new phablets would cost, but according to Phone Arena, the Galaxy Note 4 could sell for around $799 off-contract, assuming that it would be selling at €799. On a two-year contract, it could cost $299, basing the estimate on how Samsung priced Galaxy Note 3 last year.

Aside from the mobile carriers, the new devices will also be available in Best Buy, Target, Sam's Club, RadioShack, Amazon, Walmart, and Costco.
