This is according to a report from South Korea Yonhap News Agency. According to the news service, Samsung’s IT and mobile communications boss Koh Dong-jin, known in the West as DJ Koh, said the company was postponing the release of a new Note device this year because it would be difficult to release two. flagship models with S Pen support “within a year.”
The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the South Korean giant’s first non-note phone that offers stylus compatibility, and rumors also suggest that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 has a digital pen.
Barron’s writes that the global scarcity is also behind the delay. The chip crunch holds in serious challenges for the company and it can also affect the production of low and mid-range phones.
Koh says the Note series will be back next year, but adds that its launch period may change. The company usually releases Note phones in the third quarter.
Scaling up the production of folding devices also remains a challenge and the business is currently trying to expand capacity.
We have solved screen problems to some extent, but there should also be growth in component sectors regarding the foldable smartphone.
At first glance, it seems that Samsung is daring this year to see if an S Pen touting Z Fold can absorb users of the Note series. If the bet fails, it can always resume the Note series.
