- There’s increased chatter that Samsung might be replacing the Galaxy Note series with something else, and a leaker thinks he knows what it might be.
- A Chinese smartphone maker has just demoed a device unlike anything in the business, a handset with a rollable screen that can be turned into an Android tablet.
- Samsung might be working on a similar concept of its own, the leaker said, backing the claim up with additional rumors from earlier this year.
We’ve speculated for years that the Galaxy S and Note series are on a collision course and that Samsung might cancel the Note or fold it into the Galaxy S series down the road. The only thing that differentiates the two devices is the S Pen stylus, now that all smartphones have a version of the same all-screen design. And a few days ago, we learned that the Galaxy S21 Ultra would come with stylus support, a first for the Galaxy S devices. A more ample leak revealed that the S21 Ultra would not feature a built-in S Pen like Note 20, as Samsung will launch a special type of case to store the stylus. Separately, a leak said that Note 21 development had not started. At the same time, a different report offered an image of Samsung’s Jay Y. Lee, talking to other people while holding a phone that did not resemble anything we expect from Samsung.
This brings us to Oppo’s Inno Day 2020 event in China, where the Android vendor unveiled a few new products it’s working on. Among them, there’s the Oppo X in the image above, a smartphone with a rollable screen. A leaker thinks that might be the kind of phone design that “kills” the Note series.
