Prophesied for a few years, the abandonment of the range of Galaxy Note seems to be well started to intervene this year.And it seems that the designated heirs are the foldable mobiles of the manufacturer.
Traditionally presented at the end of the summer, the new Galaxy Note will have to wait.Maybe a long time.In a press release published on July 26, 2021, the Korean manufacturer explains that this year, it is foldable phones that will be in the spotlight during a large conference scheduled for next 11.
A low noise abandonment
The new Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip that Samsung will unveil on this occasion will be the first foldable smartphones to be compatible with the famous S Pen, the stylus built by Samsung."Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Note, we will extend the features of the Galaxy Note to other Galaxy devices" explains the brand.In marketing language, it sounds like a low noise abandonment of the Galaxy Note.
The news will not surprise the most attentive observers in the industry.Since at least since 2017, the galaxy note line no longer really had a reason to be.Having become great-format copies of spearheads over the years that are the Galaxy S, this family of telephone no longer brought nine on the market, for lack of major technological innovations.
Because yes, for a long time the Galaxy Note were real monsters of technology.By presenting two large families of smartphone per year, Samsung could keep up with the frantic pace of technological innovation in the early 2010s.The note embarked the latest technologies which could then arrive, a few months later, on the Galaxy S.Recall that this is the first note of the name that started the trend of "phablet", these devices imposing halfway between a phone and a tablet.In 2015, the Galaxy Note Edge also launched the fashion of curved screens.
The foldable, heir to the note
He will not have escaped many people that said, that major technological innovations are today less frequent.This is a little more weakening the raison d'être of the Galaxy Note.Today, it is the foldable models of Samsung that mark a real break with the rest of the market.
The Z Flip like the Z Fold embark on advanced technologies, try to give birth to new uses and offer a huge media showcase in Samsung.In short, they do all that the Galaxy Note can no longer really do today.Samsung foldables are the worthy heirs of the first note, and it is no coincidence that they are the ones who recover the stylus, the only characteristic that still allowed the Galaxy Note to stand out.
