    Why did they discontinue the Galaxy Note?

    over 1 year ago
    But with changing consumer tastes and all major Android smartphones now coming with a massive display, interest in Galaxy Note started to decline. Eventually, with sales slowing down, Samsung decided to kill the Galaxy Note lineup for good.

    The Galaxy Note was distinguished by its unusually large form factor—later referred to using the term "phablet"—which straddled the size of the average smartphone at the time, and that of a small tablet: it features a 5.3-inch display, and is bundled with a stylus branded as the "S Pen", which can be used to navigate ...

    over 1 year ago
    The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is one of the fastest Android phones around, as it's one of the first handsets with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 Plus processor. This chipset boosts the clock speed by 10% up to 3.1 GHz and the graphics is also 10% faster than the regular Snapdragon 865 chip inside the Galaxy S20.
