Over the last couple of months, various rumors and reports had surfaced regarding Samsung discontinuing its Galaxy Note series of flagship smartphones. However, a company official has stated otherwise, saying that the company is not planning on killing off the series anytime soon.
According to a SamMobile report based on a Yonhap News article, a Samsung official revealed that the company is “preparing to release the next Galaxy Note series next year.” In other words, we can expect a Galaxy Note 21 lineup along with the Galaxy S21 series. For those unaware, the rumors behind the discontinuation of the Galaxy Note series were strengthened after TM Roh, Samsung’s mobile business chief, hinted that the Galaxy S21 will arrive with S Pen support.

But the source from within the company stated that “Roh’s message does not mean that the Galaxy Note series will be discontinued.” At the moment, there are various conflicting reports regarding the future of the Galaxy Note series, with reports stating that the company might completely shut down the lineup, or launch one last generation before merging it with the flagship Galaxy S series.
Unfortunately, we still have no way of confirming any of these reports, and will have to wait for an official company announcement to know for sure. Furthermore, Samsung could possibly decide to end its Note lineup in favor of the new Galaxy Z series of fordable handsets in the near future, but this is again speculation so take it with a pinch of salt for now. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing more updates when additional information is available.
