When we first saw renders for the Galaxy S22 Ultra<\/strong><\/a>, then got the device in hand, it\u2019s very clear that this phone\u2019s hardware is much more related to that of the Galaxy Note line than it is the Galaxy S line. It has the ultra-rounded display, flat top and bottom, plus a slot for the S Pen. Excluding the camera layout, if I closed my eyes and was holding the S22 Ultra and the Note 20 Ultra, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to differentiate the two very quickly. And while I\u2019m not sure that it ultimately matters, I don\u2019t see why Samsung had to kill the \u2018Galaxy Note\u2019 line when it\u2019s clearly very much alive in the S22 Ultra.<\/p>\n

The first report<\/a> that Samsung would skip a new Galaxy Note phone in 2021 appeared in December of 2020, which was way ahead of when we\u2019d normally start talking about new Note devices, as they tend to come later in a calendar year. Later that same month, Samsung said that the Note line had not<\/span> been discontinued, but as we all know now, the Note line is dead and the Galaxy S line has adopted its hardware and all of its features.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra<\/em><\/p>\n

We would love to know why Samsung opted for this route. In my mind, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is such a different thing from the S22 and S22+, having the same moniker doesn\u2019t work at all. The S22 Ultra has the S Pen and shares no hardware characteristics with its siblings. On top of that, dedicated Galaxy Note fans or even typical consumers will likely know that the Galaxy Note line comes with a stylus. It\u2019s sorta in the name, you know? There\u2019s nothing to indicate that the S22 Ultra has an S Pen and is technically the Note 22 Ultra. Now, we have Samsung spending what is surely to be millions of dollars on advertising and educating consumers that the S22 Ultra has an S Pen.<\/p>\n

Again, I\u2019ll stress that maybe this stuff only matters to me, but I just don\u2019t get why the Note name had to die. The market already knew what the Note line is. Why kill it?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
