Samsung made history in 2011 when it unveiled the Galaxy Note – a massive (well, at the time) 5.3-inch phone with an included S Pen. Since then, it has become synonymous with Samsung’s premium flagship experience. But next year Samsung is poised to define history in a different way. Grab a tissue, because 2021 may see the Galaxy Note line thrown in the trash.

According to these sources, Samsung does not currently plan to develop a new version of the Note for 2021. High-end phones like the Note have increased their prices in recent years, but 2020 has not been a good year for this segment. of the market. . Apple, Google, and even Samsung itself have solid options that sell for hundreds of dollars less than the Note, making the phablet a tough sell, no matter how fabulous it is.

Hope the note will always look so peaceful in phone heaven ?

If you’re worried about losing the note’s signature functionality, rest assured – the S Pen may not be going anywhere; sources say the high-end Galaxy S21 will include the stylus instead. Rather than focusing its resources on sustaining a nine-year streak with declining returns, Samsung should put more effort into attracting foldable fans. Indeed, it seems that the new generation foldable from Samsung may also be compatible with the S Pen.

While it’s always sad to see a piece of tech history fade away at sunset, no one can say the Note didn’t have a good run. With the emergence of new technologies and new form factors, it makes sense to refocus on finding the future rather than keeping the past alive. Let’s give a final round of applause on the phone which started at 5.3 “and went down to 6.9” by the time of his death.
