Mobilemaster, 25 Nov 2021They killed a legend! They should have kill the S series, a... moreThe selling point of the note series was the large canvas and the stylus it offered.
The Galaxy S series had already blurred the boundaries between the note and itself with similar big screen size displays. So it makes sense to discontinue the note especially if they are offering stylus support on the Galaxy S series.
My Galaxy Note 9 was one of the best android phones I've ever used.... 10/10 device.
I kept returning back to it frequently after I had briefly switched back to iOS.

Anonymous, 25 Nov 2021This. Those fools who made fun of their fellow Note users t... moreExactly! Many don't realize, but this is the fate of basically everything they like in the smartphone market, it is constantly changing and new things, which are often bad trends, become the new obsession and kill everything else.
For all we know, in 2 years smartphones might all ditch their tactile display and have only a regular display and hand and face gesture reading sensors.
It might seem crazy, useless, unpractical and anyone would think there would be no reasons to remove the tactile for this, but if we were to describe some of the insanity in the current Android market to someone 5 years ago he would think the same, say removing the Jack while it doesn't prevent at all to use the Bluetooth and a huge number of people still use it.
Those who think they have nothing to fear because "their favorite feature is trending" could have a huge and nasty surprise at anytime.
How many of those who were hating on the 3.5mm Jack would cry when portless devices will be the only thing available, and they'll be awful to use (hard to do/setup transfers, limitation and incompatibilities, expensive wireless chargers only, etc)?
Or those who were hating on the SD card when there will only be E-sim even if many carriers won't still have the option for a while, need to support each phone models independently (and many brands outside Apple and Samsung will have only few models supported for a while) and god know what subscription or limitation imposed on our devices, they'll be the first one to cry while they are the one who opened, rip and burned this door...
The issue of the Android market is that the community, for some strange reasons, can't accept that any smartphone different from the norm or their personal taste can exist and have to actively try to fight it, which gave a bad image to so many features, designs and tech that now OEMs doesn't bother and only do the same design again and again.
And this despite a smartphone being a personal item that has for goal to match its user's tastes and needs, which can only be done if there is a true diversity.
For example, some might need a powerful SoC but have no photography need, or have higher than standard photography need (even just a powerful Telephoto or Macro for their job) but don't care about premium features or powerful devices.
Sadly, Sony phones are expensive, otherwise I would have bought the Xperia 5 Mk3 hand down!
It is only like 85% of what I want, but except the Poco F2 Pro, there is literally nothing else that match as much what I desire anyway.
5 years ago it was literally a challenge to not find a phone with the relevant mix of features and specs you'd want.

Crazy !
I have only like the note due to it's features to provide productivity, flexibility and multi tasking.
I will not nor am interested in getting a fold doesn't matter how they fold as it does not suit my work life or my usage style/pattern ... even the S series does not suit my pattern what more foldables & apple are inferior bricks plus I detest apple so no go there.
Where am I to find a similar product like the note now ??

I suggest the model series should come out with face-lift rather than shelving off the series.

Gregorylkelly, 25 Nov 2021They haven't killed the Note. This article is so ridic... moreYes. I think that made more sense to combine S Ultra & Note altogether than releasing both separately. That will streamline Samsung's flagship lineup a bit. As if there aren't enough of them already (S, S+, S Ultra, Z flip, Z fold).

How does it feel, Note users, to be treated like an insignificant entity?
I can't do anything about removable batteries as importing Fairphones/Xcover Pro costs too much. But I will support the jack and SD slot for as long as I can. Even if it means jumping to Sony.
