The Galaxy Note series is officially dead, Samsung has confirmed. The news doesn't really come as a surprise, given that rumors about the demise of the Note lineup have been doing the rounds for a while. Plus, Samsung hasn't released a new Note smartphone since the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra that were launched back in August 2020. The company reportedly halted the production of those smartphones in 2021.

The Galaxy Note series' mainstay is the built-in S-Pen stylus, which offers several customized features apart from the ability to jot down notes or sketch. In 2021, Samsung introduced S-Pen support on the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold3. However, the stylus was sold as an optional accessory. With the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung introduced a complete Note-like experience, since the flagship includes the S-Pen in the box and even has a dedicated slot to house it.

Note devices were typically launched around August every year, while the Galaxy S series releases in February. Samsung's fall flagship launch event is now used to unveil its foldable lineup consisting of the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Flip phones.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is the top-end model in the lineup and brings in several premium features targeted at power users. The phone features a rectangular back with sharp edges that are reminiscent of the angular Note
