New batch of information on Samsung‘s plans for next year. The brand will begin the year 2021 with the launch of the Galaxy S21 series in the first quarter and then, in June, the brand’s new folding smartphones would follow. However, the highlight of the new reports is that, apparently, the South Korean company could cancel the Galaxy Not e line, as has been rumored for some time.
South Korean publication Aju News states, based on sources close to the company, that Samsung Electronics has already decided that the Note range does not make much sense in 2021. Furthermore, it has confirmed that the manufacturer’s new folding phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 It will be brought forward a few months and will be presented in June 2021.
The brand’s next foldable smartphone is expected to arrive, not only with the latest Samsung technologies, but with an under-display camera and compatibility a dedicated compartment to house the S Pen . Previous reports have revealed that the Galaxy S21 Ultra will not have a compartment for the S Pen, but it will have support for it. D
The Galaxy S21 and Z Gold 3, with S-Pen
Given that the two future top of the range of the firm would have assured compatibility with the S Pen, it would not make much sense for Samsung to launch a Galaxy Note practically identical in performance to the S21 a few months later, so the company, according to the data we have as of today, it will discontinue the Note series.
This is something that has already been tried for the current top of the phone manufacturer’s catalog but, although the company managed to mount an in-screen digitizer to recognize the S Pen, it was difficult to develop a tempered glass that prevents the screen from being scratched when using the accessory. Therefore the Galaxy Z Fold 2 did not have support for the S Pen.
In an attempt to enable S-Pen compatibility on its future folding phones, Samsung replaced the CPI film with Ultra-Thin Glass (UTC) on the Galaxy Z Fold 2. But it wasn’t until the development of a UTC panel of second generation, when it has become possible to incorporate the S Pen, something that we will see in the next Galaxy Z Fold 3.
In this way, we can ensure that Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, awarded as the best premium mobile of the year at the 2020 ADSLZone & Clipset Awards, will be the last model of this brand family.
