The question of whether Samsung will release the Galaxy Note 21 this year has yet to be answered. However, a well-known Samsung tipster has once again told fans that a follow-up to the Galaxy Note 20 will not be released.

Ice Universe lamented on Twitter that Samsung's "biggest disappointment" in 2021 is that the Galaxy Note 21 will not be released. This is not the first time this tweet has been made.

In March, Bloomberg reported that Samsung was considering skipping the introduction of a new Galaxy Note.

Samsung co-CEO Koh Dong-jin said, "The Note series is positioned as a high-end model in our business portfolio. We may not be able to launch a Note model in the second half of the year because it is burdensome to launch two flagship models in one year...The launch date of the Note model can be changed, but we aim to launch the Note model next year."

. [Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is also rumored to support the S Pen, and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is also rumored to support the S Pen. [The Galaxy Note 21 may be dead, but that doesn't mean the Note series is completely gone. At least, not yet; in February, Samsung told T3 that it is "committed to the Galaxy Note category."

Samsung may decide to launch the Galaxy Note 20 FE (a more affordable smartphone equipped with an S Pen). Right now, the Galaxy Note 21 seems superfluous, but an inexpensive device bundled with an S Pen as a last hurrah for the series might be a good way to go.
