There will be no Galaxy Note in 2021, more rumors suggest

 We've heard from a few places now that Samsung will decommission the Galaxy Note line in 2021 and now that rumor is gaining traction thanks 


According to Max Weibnach's information Samsung's flagship lineup for 2021 will include four Galaxy S21 devices - S21, S21+, S21 FE and S21 Ultra - and three Galaxy Z devices - Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3 and Z Fold FE. Three of those seven will have S Pen support, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is a sure bet.

Now, in and of itself that lineup doesn't exclude a Galaxy Note 21 from happening, but the inclusion of S Pen support on non-Note devices points in that direction. Another pointer is the lack of any information about any Galaxy Note development, per Ice Universe.

Of course there's a possible explanation to that theory as well - it's still way too early. But the Fold2 arrived after the Note20 this year, so we doubt that's the case.
