The Samsung Galaxy Note is dead, long live the Samsung Galaxy Note!

(Pocket-lint) - The Samsung Galaxy Note household has surely been a roller-coaster ride. It was Samsung's flagship instrumentality that broke caller ground, the Note Edge mounting trends that everyone wanted to follow, the S Pen showing that a stylus could really beryllium portion of a modern device.

It besides helped popularise larger devices, dragging smartphones from fiddly small gadgets to beauteous slabs of consumption.  

It was besides the instrumentality that Samsung recalled, wholly recalled, aft artillery faults successful the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Wrap your caput astir it: Samsung pulled an full merchandise enactment - and it came backmost stronger successful the Note 8, a instrumentality that's conscionable had the latest Android information update.

That's right, the Samsung Galaxy Note doesn't privation to die.

But rumours of the extremity of the Galaxy Note enactment won't spell away. With Samsung offering beauteous overmuch each the functions of the Note successful its flagship Galaxy S devices, and much precocious successful the Galaxy Fold, the presumption of the Galaxy Note looks precarious.

So overmuch so, that notorious leaker UniverseIce has highlighted that Samsung hasn't renewed the trademark connected Galaxy Note:

The latest trademark file did not look "Galaxy Note"

Could this perchance bespeak that immoderate 10 years aft Samsung launched the archetypal instrumentality astatine IFA 2011 that determination volition beryllium nary more? Does determination adjacent request to beryllium immoderate much Galaxy Note devices with a fig of alternate from Samsung already successful this space?

Previous rumours had said that determination wouldn't beryllium a Note successful 2021 and that's so true. In March 2021 Samsung's mobile CEO DJ Koh said that determination would beryllium nary Note successful 2021, but determination would beryllium a caller exemplary successful 2022.

We asked Samsung for a remark connected the astir caller gossip supra and got the effect we expected: "We bash not remark connected rumour oregon speculation, and volition stock much details connected our aboriginal portfolio erstwhile we are acceptable to announce."

That truly leaves america nary the wiser. It looks similar we're going to person to hold until 2022 to find retired what the information truly is.
