Samsung will stop making the Galaxy Note – Report

Samsung has decided to stop making its Galaxy Note line-up of smartphones, according to a report from Softpedia News.

The report cited a cryptic tweet from tech leaker Ice Universe, which included the caption “Galaxy Note” and an image with a “The End” movie credit.

Ice Universe was one of the early insiders who confirmed this year’s Galaxy S21 Ultra would support the S Pen stylus which previously only worked on Galaxy Note smartphones.

I must admit, I have the note 10 and I maybe used the pen 3 times the past year.

I'm slightly disappointed. I'm on my 6th Note device and I really enjoy them. It's a pity

Heard it from my Uncle's neighbor's Son-law's Garbage truck Driver's nephew.

@UniverseIce (the Ice Universe mentioned in the article) has been pretty much on the money with leaking stuff in the past though.

A pity. I've had all the Notes from the first one. And use the stylus every day.

Noted.

The S-pen was a main factor for choosing the Note myself. I don't particularly need the highest specs or largest screens available. I still use my Note 8 daily, the pen playing a large role. I usually forget my daily planner somewhere, so using the phone works brilliantly.

Was not planning to upgrade, as the new Note phones are just too expensive for me. So if they expand the S-pen to more (and hopefully slightly cheaper) phones, I'll be quite happy.

Makes sense, phones nowadays appear to have reached a "standard"ish size, for example I have the Note 10 lite and my wife has the A31, they both are black and they appear to be almost the same size, time and time again I accidentally pick up her phone and vice versa, no need to have a full on Galaxy Note department if they could just include an S-pen for those who want one and perhaps use a special cover as the holder for the pen...

I wouldn't mind them making one flagship but where do you store the s-pen on a Galaxy 21 Ultra?

I think there's an optional folio cover which has place to store it. I read in a review on TechRadar I think? Can't find it now.

Really depends, great for screenshots and scribbling/pointing out stuff on it if e.g. get a design sent to you. Used to use my wacom tablet a lot for that when I still critiqued it as contractor, easier than with a mouse, would probably have done on my phone if I could.

Could be a ploy to get the Note20 sales up. I've heard rumors about the Note series being discontinued before and this was scrapped.
