What are the possibilities for the 2021 Galaxy Note generation's debut, and what are the anticipated features of the Note 21 Series if it actually exists?

At the beginning of March, Samsung announced that no Galaxy Note would be launched in 2021. However, recent information confirmed the presence of a Galaxy Note 21 5G name on a wall at a Samsung Store in South Korea.

The community suddenly becomes excited and shows great anticipation for this product, so what factors must it have to regain its position if it actually exists?

Bidding farewell to the Note series sounds painful, but it makes sense

In fact, this information has been around since the end of 2020 when reports indicated that Samsung would bring the S Pen to many other products, not just the Note series.

And what has come has finally arrived, the highest-end version Galaxy S21 Ultra is known as the first S series flagship to support the S Pen, blurring the biggest difference between these two smartphone lineups.

Moreover, up until now, there have been very few leaks about the new Galaxy Note generation, while traditionally, around this time, there should have been some leaks about its design and appearance.

Samsung's CEO, Mr. Dong-Jin Koh, has confirmed that there will be no Galaxy Note 21 released in 2021. The reason he provided is the global semiconductor shortage, which is starting to affect essential components of a smartphone.

Samsung used to have only two flagship lines, the S and Note series, but in the past two years, they introduced two additional foldable screen lines, the Z Fold and Z Flip, so they had to allocate more resources to these two lines.

The upcoming Z Fold 3, set to be released in September, will support the S Pen and inherit the position that the Galaxy Note series left behind.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, whether desired or not, the Galaxy Note 21 Series will not be launched, at least not in 2021, and Samsung is taking this decision very seriously.

The Galaxy Note series may still make a comeback, but it needs...

Samsung debuted the first Note series in October 2011 and quickly achieved sales of 1 million units within two months.

Setting itself apart from most devices on the market at the time with a 5.3-inch screen size (very large compared to back then), while other models from other brands were only around 4 to 4.3 inches.

The second distinctive highlight is undoubtedly the unique S Pen, combined with software optimization that has made the Galaxy Note series famous, with a lineage that now spans 14 products up to the Note 20 generation.

Both advantages are nearly disappearing at the current time, as large screens are now common among all brands, and the S Pen is available on the S series as well as the upcoming Z Fold 3.

If there is no Note series in 2021, then it won't be until around August or September 2022 that we will see the Note series again, giving Samsung an extra year to prepare for this comeback.

Returning to the users' perspective, what are Samfans expecting from the Note series?

Some hope that Samsung will maintain a square design, with sharp corners, which is a point of differentiation compared to the S series and other brands.

In terms of specifications and features, the new Galaxy Note will feature under-display camera technology, which seems promising as some advertising posters for the Z Fold 3 mention it will be the first foldable smartphone with an under-display camera, so the Note 21 might also have it.

In terms of performance, Qualcomm processors are excellent, but the company is still trying to diversify its supply sources with its in-house Exynos chips.

The power of these chips is still a subject of debate, but I'm eagerly anticipating the outcome of the collaboration between Samsung, AMD, and Google.

Finally, users also expect the new Galaxy Note to offer various screen sizes for users to choose from, similar to the Galaxy S21 series.

Additionally, there may be more compact versions with lower prices, widely bringing the S Pen to a larger customer base like the Note 10 Lite.

How would you feel if there was no Galaxy Note this year and what would you anticipate if the Note 21 truly exists?
