It's official: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will take the Milky way Note's place as the mid-year flagship phone from the South Korean company. This means that information technology'south game over for the Samsung Galaxy Annotation 21, at least for this twelvemonth.

That's the give-and-take from TM Roh, Samsung's president and caput of mobile communications, who basically noted that the book is closed on the Galaxy Annotation. "Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Annotation this time around, nosotros will further broaden dear Notation features to more Samsung Galaxy devices," Roh said in a blog post.

Given the rumors that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will have S Pen and Due south Pen Pro back up, it's probable that custom stylus compatibility is the main Note feature that'll spread into other Samsung devices; the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra does take S Pen support after all.

Interestingly, we're expecting to see an Due south Pen specifically designed for foldable phones. What that will entail isn't clear, but nosotros could wait input sensitivity calibrated for foldable displays that take softer surfaces than those of not-folding phones.

Roh also explained how Samsung will work on making foldable phones into more mainstream devices than just expensive handsets. Though nosotros're non expecting the Galaxy Z Fold 3, or indeed the Samsung Milky way Z Flip three, to dip below the $1,000 mark.

"Nosotros are also working with Google to enrich our foldable ecosystems with pop apps and services. For our third generation of Galaxy Z phones, we have lined up even more partner apps that make the most of the versatile fold-out format," Roh said. "From hands-costless optimized video calling with Google Duo and watching videos in Flex mode on YouTube to multitasking in Microsoft Teams, our foldable ecosystem volition offer a wealth of seamless and optimized experiences."

With Samsung looking at building out its folding device ecosystem, it'due south curtains for the Galaxy Annotation line, at least for at present. That'll be sad for some Annotation fans who enjoyed having a big phone with all the latest and greatest Samsung mobile tech thrown at it. Just and so that role has basically fallen to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, especially given its expansive assortment of cameras, aforementioned Southward Pen back up, powerful specs and large vibrant display.

The slightly sad betoken here is the blockier rectangular blueprint of the Galaxy Note phones might be consigned to Samsung'south tech bone orchard. Here'southward hoping that design will get a resurgence with the Samsung Galaxy S22.
