Rumours about the Samsung Galaxy Note 21 getting scrapped has been doing the rounds of the internet well before the Galaxy S20 series was launched in January. Several reports speculated that the Galaxy Note 20 would be the last of its kind, while others maintained that Samsung Galaxy Note 21 was due for release in mid-2021. Furthermore, the addition of S Pen input support to the Galaxy S21 Ultra may have (rightfully) misled people into believing that the Samsung Galaxy Note 21 has been discontinued.
One can only hope that Samsung uses the extra year to reinvigorate the Galaxy Note franchise in 2021. Over the years, the differences between the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note smartphones have been minimal. Last year's vanilla Galaxy Note 20 variant offered a poor feature set compared to the Galaxy S20 phones. Even the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra felt like a rebadged Galaxy S20 Ultra.
