NEW DELHI: If you are a fan of the Galaxy Note series from Samsung, then here’s some bad news for you. The consumer electronics giant has confirmed that it will not be launching new Galaxy Note series smartphones this year.
During Samsung’s 52nd annual shareholder’s meeting, DJ Koh, co-CEO of Samsung’s IT and Mobile Communications division has confirmed that this year it will be difficult for the company to release the new Galaxy Note 21 series.
Koh added that the reason behind this is the shortage of chips and clash with the existing products. To recall earlier this year, Samsung launched that Galaxy S21 Ultra which comes with S Pen support.
Koh also mentioned that the company is not doing away with the Galaxy Note series and Samsung will come up with the Galaxy Note 22 series.
DJ Koh said, “Galaxy Note is an important product category to us that has been continuously loved by consumers for the past 10 years in the global market. The S Pen user experience is an area that Samsung’s mobile business has worked harder on than anybody else. Their launch timing may be different, but we will make sure that we don’t let Galaxy Note consumers down.”
Meanwhile, Samsung is all set to launch its new Galaxy A series of smartphones today. The company has scheduled the Galaxy Awesome Unpacked 2021 event for 7.30pm. The event will be live-streamed on the company’s official website and YouTube channel.
Although the company has not yet revealed the name of the devices it may launch at the event. But it is expected to unveil the 4G and 5G variants of Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 smartphones.
