Description:
Samsung's 2022 product roadmap supposedly doesn't include a new Galaxy Note, once more suggesting the range is dead.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If we were betting people, wed have put money on the Samsung Galaxy Note
range having been killed off for good, despite some suggestions to the contrary , and its looking ever more like were right, as reportedly the range isnt included on Samsungs 2022 smartphone production plan.

Thats according to South Korean site ETNews , though its not clear where they got this information.

The site adds that not only will there apparently not be a Samsung Galaxy
Note 22 , but that Samsung will stop manufacturing Galaxy Note 20 range units at the end of this year, meaning it could soon be impossible to find any Note models in stores, other than pre-owned ones. These are the best Samsung

The site claims that Samsungs main reason for abandoning the Note range is that its now focused on foldable phones, with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 likely landing around when a new Note handset might otherwise have done.

This might be a sensible course of action, as reportedly Samsung sold just
9.7 million Note units in 2020, down from 12.7 million in 2019.

Those might sound like big numbers, but apparently Samsung is targeting 13 million sales for its foldable Galaxy Z series in 2022, so it seems foldable phones are increasingly big business, while the Galaxy Note range was falling out of favor.

While wed take the above leak with a pinch of salt, wed be surprised if there was a new Note in 2022 or at all.

But that probably doesnt matter, because it looks as if the Samsung Galaxy
S22 Ultra will be more Note than not.

In fact, if leaks are to be believed it will be a Galaxy Note phone in all
but name, with a similarly square design and an S Pen slot. So the Galaxy
Note range probably is dead, but probably not really. Get the best of TechRadar in your inbox every day: sign up for our newsletter
