Shortly after the launch of the Galaxy Note 20 series, it was reported that Samsung may kill the popular series in 2021. Now a new report out of Korea says new Galaxy Note phones will launch next year but confirms that indeed, there are plans to kill the series.

The original source of the info is said to be The Korea Herald by the Chinese blog IT Home. The publication reported that Samsung is indeed planning to axe the series and is moving some of its features to the S series such as the S Pen stylus which has been reported will be included in the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Apparently, the decision to bring some of the features of the Galaxy Note line to the S series is a marketing strategy to increase sales of the S series.

The source doesn’t mention when the Galaxy Note series will be killed but it does confirm that it is in Samsung’s plans.

Next year’s Galaxy Note line should arrive as the Galaxy Note 21. It should feature the same processors as the Galaxy S21 series such as the Exynos 2100 and the Snapdragon 875.
