Galaxy S21 may get S Pen as Samsung said to ditch Galaxy Note series?

No might to it. Looking at the shop Samsung app you'll see the dates further stretched on the reg Note 20. Plus it feels the void for a lot of people wanting a large display. I feel that the Ultra isn't expected to be the most popular among the two. Guess we'll see in a few weeks.
And the Note 20 Ultra 512GB dates are much further out than the regular Note 20 on Samsung. Yesterday, it was just marked as backordered and you couldn't even order it. Soonest you can get one now is end of September and even further with the couple of carriers that still allow orders, some csrriers it's sold out amd defaults you to unlocked variant. On the regular note the only date that seems as pushed backed for the reg note 20 is the unlocked mystic bronze, evey other variant and carrier model is available sooner than the note 20 ultra options.
 
And they have been saying this for a while. Doubt it tho. Since the S8+ when they started basically making a Note without an Spen. This was also the first release after the Note 7, so that's been thrown around since.

I'm feeling like this one might finally stick .. especially if they go pen on Foldable ...

Hoping you're right. Really hoping for a S21 Ultra with a 7.1 inch screen, Snapdragon 875, 16 GB RAM, 5500 mAh battery, LTPO display, rounded corners, a slightly curved screen, no S Pen, and the capability to charge at 60W.

Yeah how many years have we been hearing this rumor? But if true, I hope they make it more square like a Note should be.
 
Ha, I was right and you guys thought I was crazy...

This makes sense as Samsung has ads already in Samsung apps on the phone, everything is adding up...

Too expensive to make and the profit isn't worth it....
 
Regular Joe buyers don't look at specs and a lot of people hate the curved screens, I'm tempted to buy the regular Note because the screen is flat. I think the N20 might actually outsell the N20 Ultra.

I kinda feel the same way plus it's cheaper to make so it's a win/win if samsung can sell more of those. Regular folks just need the big size, spen and their good. The regular note also most likely will be more durable so no case.
 
Just keep a Note like phone with the s-pen .. don't care what they name it.. they could maybe just release the smaller S with no pen ... Cut the cycles to once a year ... Then in other 6 month release you do the folds ...

Rounded corners... Hell no, pls.

Also what can you do on a 7.1 screen that you couldn't on a 6.9?? That and a 5500ma battery sounds heavy.

Rename it to the S line but keep those rounded corners to the other models!
 
I never got the 6 months releases between the S and Note series. As an addict sure, of course I love it but how are sales?

I've always considered the Note as Samsung's true flagship. Pricing aside releasing two versions of the Note once a year makes more sense.
 
Just a rumor for now, Samsung won't go that way yet until they get the Folded Phone and Z phone to be durabile Which can take up to 5 years before those phones are actually worth buying, i also see it around the other way ditch the S Series Keep The Note Series Thats More likely to happen after they get Z and Folded Durabile.
 
I hope this is just a rumor. I tried the S10 and it was just too tall and skinny. I like the extra width of the Note series and the S Pen. But if it is true, our Note 20's will become more valuable as the last of the Notes : )
 
Seems like every year this rumor pops up. I'll believe it when I see it.

Exactly Samsung is not gonna get rid of the main Phone Money Maker Which Is the Note Like i said if they were to do this it be the S series that would go.
 
Re: 2021 Samsung S21 / Note 21

Let's see I think this is year 7 or 8 for this rumor. I am sure Samsung wants to give up their big 2nd half major sales boost.
 
as long as the note series does not go the way of the note tablets. I really miss note tablet.

A report from a Korean outlet notes that Samsung is developing the S21 series under the code name “unbound.” While there might be three versions of the phone: the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the S-Pen will be only available with the high-end Ultra version.

They should just do away with the S line already. Move the Fold series into the S space and keep the Note as the niche device. I always felt like the introduced the OG Fold with the S last year because they were going to replace it with the Fold, so keep the same launch windows. But then they announced the FZ2 with the N20.
Except that there are those that want a flagship without the Spen or a fold.
