It'south official: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will take the Galaxy Note'south place as the mid-year flagship phone from the South Korean company. This ways that it'due south game over for the Samsung Galaxy Note 21, at least for this year.

That'south the word from TM Roh, Samsung's president and caput of mobile communications, who basically noted that the volume is closed on the Galaxy Note.

Given the rumors that the Milky way Z Fold iii will take S Pen and South Pen Pro support, it's probable that custom stylus compatibility is the principal Note feature that'll spread into other Samsung devices; the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra does have S Pen back up subsequently all.

Interestingly, we're expecting to come across an S Pen specifically designed for foldable phones. What that will entail isn't articulate, but nosotros could await input sensitivity calibrated for foldable displays that take softer surfaces than those of non-folding phones.

Roh also explained how Samsung will work on making foldable phones into more than mainstream devices than just expensive handsets. Though we're not expecting the Galaxy Z Fold three, or indeed the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, to dip below the $1,000 mark.

"Nosotros are besides working with Google to enrich our foldable ecosystems with popular apps and services. For our tertiary 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-free 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."

But then that role has basically fallen to the Milky way S21 Ultra, specially given its expansive array of cameras, aforementioned S Pen back up, powerful specs and large vibrant display.

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