According to a new tweet from reliable tipster Ice Universe, Samsung may not release a Galaxy Note 20 successor next year.

If the tipster is to be believed, the Galaxy Note lineup is “over” and a follow-up to the Galaxy Note 20 may never come. Instead, Samsung is apparently going to make some changes to the Galaxy S series to make it more appealing to Note fans.

Despite S Pen support, the Galaxy S21 Ultra has failed to attract Note devotees because it does not offer the full S Pen suite of Galaxy Note 20 Ultra features. The best Samsung phone of 2021 also lacks a dedicated slot to store the stylus.

Samsung’s future Galaxy S series flagships are expected to have a “less rounded” design, but they won’t be as square as the Galaxy Note series devices.

As no further details have been revealed yet, it remains to be seen whether that means Samsung will release more than one Galaxy S series phone with S Pen support next year.

In addition to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung is also expected to launch a successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 with S Pen support in the second half of 2022.

Samsung has decided not to release a new note this year due to the global semiconductor shortage. However, he suggested that a new Galaxy Note model could be released in the future.
