Samsung made the Galaxy S22 series official last week with several interesting news, among them is the S Pen built into the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which has already indicated that the South Korean should really discontinue the Note line.
Now. there is no longer any doubt, as a company executive confirmed this in an interview with Bloomberg.
“In the near term, our operation will focus on a two-track strategy: flagship S series in the first half of the year and innovative foldable lineup in the second half.”
In this way, we can understand that the Galaxy Note line is no longer part of Samsung’s launch schedule, after all it occupied a prominent place in the South Korean launches in the second half of the year, since it is now from the Z line.
Therefore, we understand that the Galaxy S and Z line should incorporate features from the Note line, such as the S Pen support that is already available on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and also on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, although both do not have the S Pen built-in like the occurs on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which even has a compartment to store the stylus pen.
“We will keep this strategy until there’s another major breakthrough and we are working hard to make it happen.”
It is interesting to note that Dr. TM Roh still claims that Samsung has ambitious plans for its smartphones as it is already working on more innovations to introduce unique devices.
