In brief:<\/strong> Samsung has officially put the Galaxy Note brand out to pasture. Roh Tae-moon, head of Samsung\u2019s smartphone division, told reporters at Mobile World Congress 2022 that the Galaxy Note will henceforth be released as \u201cUltra.\u201d Tae-moon is of course referring to the Ultra version of the Galaxy S, the most recent of which debuted as the Galaxy S22 Ultra earlier this month. <\/p>\n

The admission<\/a> isn\u2019t all that surprising given the rapidly evolving landscape of the smartphone industry.<\/p>\n

Samsung introduced the original Galaxy Note at IFA Berlin in 2011. The handset featured a massive (for the time) 5.3-inch display and came bundled with a stylus that Samsung referred to as the S Pen.<\/p>\n

Some questioned why Samsung would make a smartphone with such a large screen, but the doubters were soon quieted as consumers proved that excess was in. Less than two months after launch, Samsung announced it had shipped more than a million Note devices.<\/p>\n

The Note proved to be a commercial success that paved the way for modern handsets with even larger screens. A smartphone with a 5.3-inch display is considered small by today’s standards.<\/p>\n

Rumors of the Note\u2019s demise surfaced in mid-2020, with some saying Samsung wanted to shift its focus to foldable smartphones<\/a>. It was all but confirmed last August when Samsung said there would be no Galaxy Note device at its next launch event. A month later, someone noticed Samsung hadn\u2019t renewed its trademark<\/a> for the Note line.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
