The Galaxy Note line may not be discontinued anytime soon. A Samsung official told it Yonhap News on condition of anonymity that the tech giant is preparing to release a new Galaxy Note model next year. Reports that Samsung is killing the product line came out earlier this month. Reuters said that instead of launching a new Note, the company will add stylus support to the S21 and its upcoming foldable phones. The Korean tech giant has reportedly even diverted the resources it allegedly used to develop a new Note into the development of a new foldable device.
More recently, Samsung smartphone chief TM Roh confirmed that the company plans to bring some of the Note’s “most loved features” to other Galaxy devices. He wasn’t exactly talking about the S21 working with the S Pen, but his revelation may have sounded like an indirect confirmation of the Note lineup’s demise to some. The officer who spoke Yonhap News said, however, that “Roh’s message does not mean that the Galaxy Note series will be discontinued.”
