Inside sources have made some claims about the fate of the Samsung Galaxy Note series. The Note series had, until recently, been Samsung’s flagship offering and the only Samsung phone with the S Pen feature. As we know, the Galaxy S21 Ultra also has a stylus and Samsung may also extend it to other models.
Tipsters had been predicting that the S pen technology was being extended to other models, as plans are underfoot to replace the Note series with foldable phones of the Z series.
It would thus seem very obvious that the Galaxy Note series may be winding down, although it remains unclear whether it will come back as maybe the Galaxy Note 21 before the year runs out.
The recent insider information coming from Samsung indicates that indeed a decision has been reached to retire the Note series. The decision might be to the chagrin of fans and enthusiasts of the product.
In a tweet, well-known tipster, Ice Universe stated that the former flagship Note series may have seen its last days and that there will be no Galaxy Note 21, moving forward.
Another industry insider with some major leaks under his belt, Ross Young all but confirmed the veracity of the rumor, and he has suggested that it was possible that Samsung might release the Note 20 FE since it has undergone confirmation by the phone maker.
The sales projections for the Note and S series for 2020 fell flat as sales were hugely underwhelming, so the decision to discontinue the production of the Note series may be a cost-saving measure to revamp the sales traffic and overall outlook of the company for 2021. Indeed, the discontinuation may help firm up sales of the Galaxy S21 series.
This is the response by Samsung to an inquiry by Phonearena about the subject matter.
It does not mean that Samsung is not committed to the Note category but is expanding the Note experience across device categories. To provide the best mobile experience to all consumers, we will actively listen to consumers’ feedback and reflect it in our continued product innovation.”
