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

[Serkle K]

Except that there are those that want a flagship without the Spen or a fold.

For the prices of the Fold and Note series, the most adaptable device to use and buy out of the 2 would be the Note, and you have to option to use or not use the SPen out of the box. As opposed to people not being given the option of the S Pen at all between the S line and Fold lines. I would still do away with the S line. Or, drop it in price and specs and keep the Note and Fold series devices as their Flagships.

The Note is not Samsung's top-selling phone, it's the mid-range A51.

Probably the midrange are best seller, but the Note is the face of Samsung , like if Gm got rid of Corvette or Ford did same to the Mustang , those are not the best seller for the company but the face of those companies.

Consumers that have no interest in the Spen don't want to pay for it.

Re: 2021 Samsung S21 / Note 21

Rumors are starting early ... S-pen for S series .. maybe no Note ...

https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-s21-s-pen-samsung-ditch-galaxy-note-series/

We have heard this stupid rumor every year since at least the release of the Note 3. Get a clue, do you think Samsung is really going to stop their second half major revenue boost phone release?

 

[eshropshire]

as long as the note series does not go the way of the note tablets. I really miss note tablet.

They never went away. My S4 tablet is a great note tablet. Samsung just released a new Note tablet with the release of the Note 20.

I have a Brother in Law that works for GM. The profit margins for trucks and SUVs are insane. Trucks a by far and away the most profitable vehicles for Ford and GM.

I am sure the same is true for Samsung, they probably sell the most mid range phones, but I bet the Ultras are easily the most profitable.

ther is a diffence in the s-pen storage that makes the difference from a real note tablet and the tab. and that was one of the things I liked about having the real thing.

Considering the Note came in under what the launch price of the S line was, they're not paying for it, lol.

I will say that IF the Fold ever gets a SPen and is not any more expensive than a Note, I would consider it, especially after some of the improvements that I saw with the ZF2 over the OG Fold. But I highly doubt that would happen considering all the things that Samsung is taking away/out of the box, while still jacking up the price.

The lower launch price of the Note was a decsion that was made irrespective of inclusion or exclusion of the Spen. Probably because of poor sales figures. The Note also lost storage size and is a smaller battery. Also many prefer the S series because no Spen makes for a bigger battery. It makes sense for the Fold to aquire a pen at some point especially since the screen is made of better material, however the current Spen tip is too hard a material to be used on the current Gen screen. I don't see it being the same price as a Note though. It may drop some some over time but I'm thinking it has to cost more to produce. It's funny but most other tech seems to come down over time, while smart phones seem to keep going up.

If Samsung replaces the Note with the Fold, the Fold will be the revenue booster.
