That's assuming everyone wants a fold.
The price doesn't bother me as much as the crease, durability, thickness and weight does.I want a fold but not at current prices.
Some people seem to like the idea.....I'm not one of them obviously. I'd rather it stay the same with a slightly smaller battery or make it a little thicker to appease those that want the big battery.Dumbest design ever. S pen compatible but nowhere to put it. It doesn't even make sense. If you need a pen, get the Note. Samsung is really getting stupid with all of this.
I seriously doubt that the Note like we know it will get discontinued until they come out with a Foldable Note version
I would be open to the fold if it had room to store the s-pen, but unless that happens it would be an absolute no go for me
It be worse then what happened to note 7 if they get rid of the Note line , samsung won't be the same again.In the end, if they killed the Note and you still wanted a pen, you basically have no choice and will go to the Galaxy S Series and get the pen.
They're the only game in town. Samsung really doesn't lose out here.

They can keep the fold for future device, but thats a different trend and people on board with that , the Note and S line made Samsung not foldable , it's like Apple saying we get rid of all iPhone now because we made a foldable device.They're not trying to be the same... same gets them nowhere. They're trying to go next level.
Pens are a novelty now. They are going all-in on Flip and Foldables now. $1500-$2000 phone are where it's at.
Maybe the silo/pen will live on in the Fold 3 or later. The Galaxy line-up... S21, S21+, Ulltra, Flip, Fold, Fold Ultra?? Looking interesting and sound inevitable the merging of all three into one line.
Their better off killing all their mid range phones and keeping the S and note series. Time will tell what's going happen but Samsung future don't look bright to me.
Samsung wouldn't be on the map if it wasn't for S series or Note phones , they just got into mid range not long ago .I don’t think that’s possible because the midrange phone it their top seller... not the flagship phone.

Pay no attention to the chatter. The same menagerie of reviewers and idol worshippers were saying for months on end there would not be a Note 20 Ultra and no 50X zoom in 2020.
I'm not trying to pick a fight , you have your right to voice your opinion, I just don't like it if it's true , I've seen Samsung since s3 , Note 2 , and had pretty much most of both their series phones and seen them develop through the years,No, I totally am with you that they are known and recognized for their Galaxy line and represents the best they have to show.
But it's their mid range that is their money maker right now.
And they should continue with the Galaxy/S series as their flagship and use it to show their best tech. But I don't think they could sell enough to compete and have to rely on their mid range now for the real money. S sales year after year have gone down since the S4.
That's why it just makes sense to consolidate the two models... maybe three if you include the foldables. Like I said, the Note with the pen is such a niche product it can't keep going at this rate and would probably have to kill it anyways down the road. It's better to bring it in with the S-Series. I mean people have basically been calling it an S with a pen their specs are so similar.
Of course you know I love my Notes... visually and design... over the S any day. And I'll be pretty bummed if I don't have the option of a phone with the squared off corners of the Note. I'm just saying I can see it happening and just my guess why.
I don't know who you may refer to... but if you look back far enough... shortly after the gimmicky S20 Ultra came out... I was one of the first to say get rid of that gimmicky 100X Space Zoom and give us at 50X Zoom before any hint of an N20... or something like a 10X optical.
I know Samsung didn't see my post but glad they came out with what they did on the N20U![]()
