Samsung Galaxy Note series to be discontinued next year: report

• Samsung Galaxy Note series tipped to be discontinued in 2021
• The sharp decline in demand for high-end flagships due to the COVID-19 pandemic could be the reason
• Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra to gain S Pen support but will be sold separately

Samsung Galaxy Note series might be discontinued as early as next year if the latest report from Reuters is to be believed. Samsung Galaxy Note series has celebrated the 11th year anniversary in August with the launch of Galaxy Note 20 lineup. Despite sharing similar hardware as the S-series, Galaxy Note phones have always garnered attention thanks to S-Pen support, among other features. However, the future of the Note series remains dark as there are strong speculations that Samsung might kill it in 2021. Now, Reuters citing three very credible sources who are familiar with the company's plans reports that Samsung will indeed end the Galaxy Note series next year. This decision, if taken, could suggest that there has been a sharp decline in demand for these high-end flagship phones due to COVID-19 pandemic. However, this could also be because the brand is planning to merge its S and Note series into one.
