The Galaxy Note lineup has lost a lot of its charm in the last couple of years with the Galaxy S serial acquiring many of its characteristics. The South Pen is the merely significant differentiator left between the 2, leading many to question the need for a separate Annotation lineup going forward. The argument is that Samsung could but add an Southward Pen to its future Galaxy S models to cater to the Note users.

It appears the Korean company may exist thinking on similar lines, at least according to the contempo tweets from Evan Blass. He says Samsung is considering the possibility of merging S and Note series under a new 'Milky way 1' branding next twelvemonth. What this means is that the company could launch the Galaxy S11, or whatever it will be named, with an S Pen and skip the next Annotation model.

While that sounds like a sensible strategy, information technology also leaves Samsung without a flagship launch for the second half of the year, and that'due south where the Galaxy Fold comes into the picture. If the get-go-generation model performs well in the market place, Blass says the Galaxy Fold lineup will take the identify of the Note serial every bit Samsung's flagship for the second half of the yr.

To exist clear, none of this is confirmed by Samsung withal, but Fifty-fifty Blass, more commonly known as evleaks, does have a reliable track record in such rumors. More than importantly, all of this makes sense from a branding and market positioning perspective, which makes the rumor quite plausible. So, don't be surprised if Samsung kills the Galaxy Note series next year.
