Reports of the Galaxy Note 21’s death are greatly exaggerated

[Chris Smith]

• Samsung denied rumors that the Galaxy Note will be discontinued, saying that next year’s Galaxy Note 21 is already in development.
• Samsung has also hinted that the S Pen stylus will work with more Galaxy phones next year.
• Recent reports said the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 would both support the stylus, suggesting that the Note would be discontinued as a result.

A series of reports said that Samsung is finally ready to ditch the Galaxy Note line this year, one of its most popular series of smartphones. The original Galaxy Note wasn’t the first super-sized Android phone of its time, but it will be forever remembered as the phablet that initiated the big-screen phone trend. But in 2020, most of the phones out there have large edge-to-edge displays that can be even larger than the Note 20’s screen. The Note’s other distinctive feature is the S Pen stylus. Come 2021; various other Galaxies will support the pen, effectively robbing the Note of the only advantage it still has over the competition, Galaxy phones included. Samsung already confirmed the rumors that said the S Pen is coming to other phones, rumors that generated speculation that there won’t be a Galaxy Note 21 series next year. On top of that, other reports said that Galaxy Note 21 hasn’t even started, although it should have begun by now. But Samsung has now confirmed that it plans to ship a new Galaxy Note version next year.
