That’s all: the Samsung Galaxy Note series is no more, say two well-known insiders

by

We heard conflicting reports about the fate of the Galaxy Note series. Until recently, productivity-focused flagships were the only Samsung phones to support the S Pen. The new Galaxy S21 Ultra is also compatible with the stylus, and Samsung too confirms that the integration of digital pen will be extended to more devices in the future.

Previously, it was reported that Samsung is expanding S Pen support to other phones to migrate existing Note users to the S and Z series. The idea is apparently to keep the S family as the H1 flagship and replace the Note series with the foldable Z phones as the H2 flagship.

So it was very clear that the days of the Galaxy Note were numbered. What was not so clear, however, is whether we will see a successor to Note 20 this year. A recent report said that Samsung only Galaxy Note 21 Ultra and that too without the usual fanfare.

It now appears that the chaebol has finally decided on the Note series and that the decision is likely to disappoint many fans. The latest, not-so-cryptic tweet from the acclaimed yummy Ice Universe suggests that the iconic Note series has ended its career and that there is no Galaxy Note 21.

Display industry Ross Young also confirmed the rumor. He suggests that the Note 20 FE may still be on the map. The device was already implicitly confirmed by Samsung.
Note and S-series sales were apparently overwhelming in 2020 and the strike of the former could help Samsung increase sales of the Galaxy S21 series.
