The Galaxy Note Line: A Look Back at Its History and Future

Kind: captions

Language: en

we therefore commit this phone to the ground earth to earth stylus to stylus

the new galaxy s22 ultra seems like the end of the galaxy note line but is it well

galaxy note you old friend this could be the end for you so i guess i'd like to take a moment and remember all the happiness you provided and ponder if samsung is really killing you off or just repurposing you for other phones

The Galaxy Note First Debutted in 2012

the galaxy note first debuted in 2012 and it was defined by a 5.3 inch screen now think about it right now currently in 2022

the iphone 13 mini has a 5.4 inch screen slightly bigger but at that time back in 2012

5.3 inch screen that that is enormous that is huge in fact uh the iphone 4s which was out only had a 3.5 inch screen in comparison

The Stylus: A Wild Card Feature

my colleague jessica dolecort who reviewed the galaxy note described it as a kooky cool throwback

because it had a built-in stylus and this was something that you would see on older phones like the palm trio or even going back to something like the palm pilot

now this stylus was called the s-pen but the s-pen in 2012 was pretty much just a stick

it didn't have remote control bluetooth capabilities or advanced handwriting features it was basically kind of like using a pencil on a phone screen

The Galaxy Note Was Not Just About the Stylus

to quote my colleague jessica again the stylus may have been the wild card feature

but at the end of the day the phone was all about the screen that allowed for all kinds of things

you had multiple customizable home screens you had the ability to have apps with more room for productivity and gaming year after year

samsung made the screen on the galaxy note larger and by doing so showed us the path forward for future phones

The Galaxy Note Set a New Path for Future Phones

and i bet for most people watching this video the phone in your pocket right now has a screen that's larger than six inches or more

also keep in mind that at the time and maybe even now apple and its iphone seems to overshadow everything

the galaxy note is the most unapple phone you could buy which was definitely appeal for a lot of people

The Last Official Galaxy Note Samsung Released Was in 2020

the last official note samsung released was in 2020 and there were two the galaxy note 20 and the galaxy note 20 ultra

the ultra was impressive and expensive it had a 1300 price tag

the note 20 ultra also had a 6.9 inch 120 hertz high refresh rate display and the s pen that it came with had a slew of features including handwriting auto straighten pdf importing air gestures and the ability to use the s pin as a remote trigger for a selfie photo

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra: A Disappointment Compared to the Galaxy S20 Ultra

in comparison the regular galaxy note 20 was a bit of a disappointment

it had a plastic back it had straight edge screen slightly less capable cameras but it did have a slightly more reasonable price tag at a thousand dollars

Samsung Gave the Galaxy Note Line a Sabbatical Year in 2021

aside from lacking a stylus seemed like the new big deal phone in 2021 samson gave the galaxy note line a sabbatical year

but turns out that the s pen is minor than the corporate sword of samsung because s pen support showed up in new phones so we had the galaxy s 21 ultra that had s pen support then we have the galaxy z fold 3 that had s pen support and only that it had s pen support

The Galaxy Note Line Is Forever Ending

now samsung hasn't come out and said just that but to quote the magic eight ball all signs point to yes

rest in power galaxy note oh and uh if you're wondering about the galaxy note 7 we decided to put it in its own separate spot simply marked by and appropriately so an eternal flame

now i want to hear from you guys what do you think about the possibility of samsung forever ending the galaxy note line do you think adding capabilities for the s pen to the s22 ultra and the galaxy z fold line is gonna make up for it also if you've owned a galaxy no phone which ones have you owned tell me about them throw your thoughts in the comments

features it was basically kind of like using a pencil on a phone screen looking back at the first few versions of the note it's important to keep in mind that the s pen was not the only reason behind its success in fact to quote my colleague jessica again the stylus may have been the wild card feature but at the end of the day the phone was all about the screen that allowed for all kinds of things you had multiple customizable home screens you had the ability to have apps with more room for productivity and gaming year after year samsung made the screen on the galaxy note larger and by doing so

straight edge screen slightly less capable cameras but it did have a slightly more reasonable price tag at a thousand dollars and keep in mind that when the note 20 came out in the note 20 ultra that samsung had already released the galaxy s20 ultra which aside from lacking a stylus seemed like the new big deal phone in 2021 samson gave the galaxy note line a sabbatical year but it turns out that the s pen is minor than the corporate sword of samsung because s pen support showed up in new phones so we had the galaxy s 21 ultra that had s pen support then we have the galaxy z fold 3 that had s pen support and only that it had its own special s pen with a retractable tip now the downside to using the s-pen with either of these phones was the fact that you didn't have a place to store the s-pen when you weren't using it inside the phone and now there's the galaxy s22 ultra which is definitely not a galaxy note but has s pen support and a place to store the s pen and its whole aesthetic actually looks like a galaxy note from the fact that it doesn't have the domino size camera bump that melted into the side of the galaxy s21 that's gone and its place is a flat looking camera array with lenses that look like ornate buttons on the back in terms of pushing the limits of screen size you have the galaxy z volt3 which takes what the note was doing with screen and goes even farther with a 7.6 inch screen well galaxy note old friend seems like we've hit the end of the road we've had our ups like the beautiful design of the galaxy note edge and the fact that you added the word phablet to our vernacular and we've had our downs like the whole fiery battery situation on the galaxy note 7. i i know i know we don't like to talk about that but it doesn't seem like samsung's ever going gonna make a new galaxy note ever again now samsung hasn't come out and said just that but to quote the magic eight ball all signs point to yes rest in power galaxy note oh and uh if you're wondering about the galaxy note 7 we decided to put it in its own separate spot simply marked by and appropriately so an eternal flame but now i want to hear from you guys what do you think about the
