We have heard conflicting reports on the fate of the Galaxy Note series. Until recently, productivity-driven flagships were the only Samsung phones to support the S Pen. The new The Galaxy S21 Ultra is also compatible with the stylus and Samsung also confirmed that digital pen integration 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 flagship of the H1 and replace the line Note for the Z foldable phones as the flagships of the H2.
Now it seems that chaebol has finally decided on the Note series and the decision will disappoint many fans. The latest and not-so-enigmatic tweet from the Venerated leaker Ice Universe suggests that the iconic Note series has ended its run and there will be no Galaxy Note 21.
1) Now we see Oppo and Xiaomi, each launching a flagship using a Samsung LTPO panel in 1S’21.
2) Although now there is no Note 21 coming, we can see a Note 20 FE …
3) The lack of a Note 21 series means that the S21 series will be sold in larger volumes for longer and can sell more than S10.– Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) January 21, 2021
