Samsung usually launches two flagship smartphone lineups — the Galaxy S-series in the first half of the year and the Galaxy Note series in the second half. However, this time, the company confirmed that it is not launching a Note-series device.

One of the bigger differentiators for the Galaxy Note series has been its S Pen support but that is no longer exclusive as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra also supports S Pen. And now, details about its successor have surfaced online, revealing some interesting things.

Tipster Ice Universe claims that the Galaxy Note series is gone for good and the upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra will take its place. It is being said that the phone will look quite similar to the Galaxy Note20 U and will come with a built-in S Pen.

Further, the report adds that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will come with a 19.3:9 aspect ratio display and will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery and is likely to have support for 65W fast charging technology.

Rumors indicate that the phone will have a 6.81-inch LTPO QHD+ screen with 120Hz refresh rate support. Under the hood, the device will be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. However, in the select markets, the device will also come powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 chipset with AMD mRDNA GPU.

In the camera department, as per the leak, there will be a 108-megapixel primary camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens. It is also expected to have a pair of 10-megapixel telephoto lenses, with one of them being a periscope lens offering 10x optical zoom.

The launch of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup is just a few months away and we expect to know more about the smartphones in the coming weeks and months.

Rumors are rife that the Galaxy Note series is discontinued but Samsung is yet to confirm it. However, earlier this year, DJ Koh hinted that a new Galaxy Note might arrive in 2022. Amidst all these reports, a recent development now once again suggests that the Galaxy Note lineup may be gone for good.

According to a report by GalaxyClub, Samsung Electronics recently renewed trademarks for its smartphone series but left out one. That omitted one is nothing but the ‘Galaxy Note’.

Samsung renewed all other brandings, including Galaxy Z, Galaxy S, Galaxy A, and Galaxy M. If you are wondering why there’s no Galaxy F, then you should know these trademarks are only meant for South Korea where F series phones are not sold.

There’s a chance that the company might restate the trademark when it is ready to release a Galaxy Note device. It is worth noting that the firm also did not renew the branding for Galaxy Tab. This does not mean the tech giant will stop selling tablets as this product category is on the rise after years.

Having said that, even if the Galaxy Note lineup gets canceled, its features will continue to live on in other devices from Samsung. Because before unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold3 with support for S Pen, TM Roh confirmed that more devices will get Galaxy Note features in the future. But we all know that’s not enough for fans.

Continuing the tradition, Samsung president TM Roh has published a blog post on the website ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event that talks about the products about to get launched and set expectations.

In that post, Roh has confirmed that the upcoming foldable smartphones from the company will come with S Pen support. This also confirms that the South Korean giant will be launching a new S Pen at the Galaxy Unpacked event next month.

The new upcoming stylus is touted to be the “first-ever S Pen designed specifically for foldable phones.” However, nothing more about the product is known at this time. This is not it, TM Roh has also confirmed that there won’t be a Galaxy Note device getting launched this year, saying that instead of launching a Note-series this time around, the company will “further broaden beloved Note features to more Samsung Galaxy devices.”

He adds that the “third generation of foldable devices will open up amazing new multitasking capabilities and enhanced durability.” Talking about the Galaxy Z Flip 3, he says that the phone will have “an even more refined style, armed with more durable, stronger materials.”

It’s not just the hardware but Samsung is also focusing on software to improve the user experience. Roh says that the company has worked with Google “to enrich our foldable ecosystems with popular apps and services.”

For the upcoming foldable smartphone, Samsung has lined up more partner apps to take advantage of the fold-out format. We can expect support for hands-free video calling with Google Duo, watching videos in “Flex” mode on YouTube, and multitasking in Microsoft Teams, among others.

At the Galaxy Unpacked event on 11th August, Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Watch 4 series, Galaxy Buds 2, and S Pen. The upcoming foldable phones are expected to be around $200 cheaper than their predecessor as the company is looking to make them more affordable.

Samsung, breaking with the tradition, started offering the S-Pen stylus with the Galaxy S-series phones, starting with the Galaxy S21 lineup. Earlier, the support for stylus was limited to the Galaxy Note series only.

The reason behind this change is rumored to be the discontinuation of the Galaxy Note series. Several reports have pointed out that Samsung is done with the Note-series and isn’t expected to launch the Note 21 series this year.

Now, the latest report from ‘Ice universe’ claims that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be the spiritual successor of the Note 20 lineup. It is said to double up as a Note series device and come with the latest cutting-edge technologies.

There is also speculation that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will become the second non-Note series smartphone from Samsung to come with support for the S-Pen stylus. The phone could also be the first from the South Korean giant to feature under-display camera sensor.

While not much is known about the phone’s specifications at this time, we expect the device to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset with at least 256GB of internal storage. It will be running the latest Android 11 operating system with the company’s own One UI 3.5 on top.

Reports indicate that Samsung will start mass producing the upcoming Galaxy Z-series foldable smartphone around June and thus, the device should get launched around September, similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
