Me too, if Samsung not releases Note series next year im also done with Samsung.Keeping my Note 20 Ultra till next year.

If Samsung doesn't want to make a new note then I'm done with them. I was about to replace my tab 6 with the new tab 8, but not now if this is there stance. I've been a loyal customer of the note and love the internal pen in the phone. Adding it into everything seems to me to be an afterthought. Trying to convince us note people see what we are doing then adding it to the case and charging for it. When a company comes out and says "Oh the note people are cutting edge customers and they will convert to the flip/fold phones" then they don't in my estimation have a pulse on their customers. I don't want a small tablet that's not a phone or a decent tablet, that's a fail at both. So I will not be supporting Samsung in any way.

If they do not release a Note 22 they will lose me as a loyal customer. How about combining the note and S lines. Looks like I am soon to be done with Samsung....its a shame!!

It's okay when you are upset due to Samsung's ditch of the Note series as you like these smartphones. Me for example, I'm upset on Samsung due to its decisions regarding the use of plastic for the Galaxy S21 (the smallest model of the series), the ditch of the headphone jack and of the edge display (except of the Galaxy S21 Ultra), worse resolution on the Galaxy S21 and S21+ in compare to the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Just think about it how it effects on other people when you use the word "idiots". The use of this word doesn't make Samsung appear like an idiot, but it makes you appear like a emotion-uncontrolled person with a overheated head.

I guess you don't know the Samsung Galaxy Note series' numbers (especially the effect of the Note series on Samsung's return of investment e.g. in 2020): maybe the sales of the Galaxy Note series were profitable, but the Galaxy Fold series is/would be more profitable in the next years). Moreover, Samsung like every other company has limited capacities/resources (research & development budget, production capacities, but also staff, marketing budget etc.). By ditching a product/ product series, Samsung makes place to concentrate on another product which might be more profitable in the future than the Galaxy Note series has been in the last years. but the sale of the Galaxy Fold leads to more profit than the Galaxy Note series could. And the sale of both wouldn't be possible due to limited capacities (production, but also staff, marketing budget etc.)

And: What differed the 2020's Galaxy Note series from the 2020's Galaxy S 20 series (or better: Galaxy S20+/ S20 Ultra)? Sizes, cameras etc. at the Galaxy Note weren't revolutionary in compare to the Galaxy S20+/ S20 Ultra, just the usual evolution when a half year pasts from the Galaxy S20 series release. There was the (integrated) pen for the Note series, that's it more or less. Probably Samsung made a market research and has come the conclusion that not enough consumers would buy a Galaxy Note just cause of the integrated pen, so that the Galaxy S21 Ultra with the pen function would be a good compromise (for the company's sales and in the end for the ROI).

These idiots are throwing away a product they have spent years establishing.  The Note occupies a place in the market that is unique and worth keeping.  It's big.  It's flat.  It's cutting edge.

I don't want an S21 brick that's trying to be an iPhone.  I don't want a foldable that will succumb to the mechanical wear-and-tire of folding in and out.  Blackberry tried a square shape.  How'd that go?  What's a foldable worth after the display is dinged up?

For Samsung? It's worth a potential new sale. "Helping the economy!"  ;D

Death was inevitable. The Note stopped being the "maxed out, plus size Galaxy S" a few generations back.
