Samsung would have already decided to stop production of the Galaxy Note, its smartphone most aimed at enthusiasts and professionals, with the consolation that its philosophy would continue in another model.
Few smartphones provoke as many strong emotions as the Galaxy Note. This is more than just a smartphone, every year it was Samsung’s most advanced model and the only one that brought a stylus to increase its possibilities. But, after a somewhat criticized generation, that of the Galaxy Note 20, Samsung decided not to launch a new version in 2021.
Now, the Korean media confirms that Samsung has put an end to the production of the Galaxy Note, which will stop at the end of the year; that means that this model will be discontinued, it will no longer be offered in stores and obviously, it will not have a new version next year. Samsung still offers the Galaxy Note 20 in its Spanish store, but with each passing day, it is less recommended, unless we get it at a clearance price.
The explanation behind this decision is simple: Samsung wants to focus on the production of its folding devices, the and the Z Flip; the production capacity reserved for the Note will be used in those devices, with the aim of meeting the growing demand for foldables that Samsung expects by 2022. According to leaked documents, the company expects to produce 13 million units combined between both models, and that It would be more than the entire Note range in the last two years.
The is evident, with models like e that have managed to reach a price comparable to that of a normal mobile and therefore, much more recommendable. With this context, it is difficult for the company to justify the production of a Note 30, especially when the chip crisis forces it to make difficult decisions.
The good news if you were waiting for a new Note, is that you will receive it, but not with that name. According to leaks, the new one, which would be stored on the device just like the Note; in fact, the company would be treating the Ultra as an independent model from the rest of the range, both in features and design, as it did with the Note.
