Samsung on Tuesday confirmed that it would not unveil a new Galaxy Note flagship at its Galaxy Unpacked event on August 11 and instead bring its third-generation Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip foldable phones that are speculated to be Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, respectively. The company's mobile chief TM Roh made the confirmation through a blog post on its website. Corroborating the rumours, he said that instead of bringing the new Galaxy Note this time, Samsung will bring S Pen to its foldable phones. Some fresh renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 as well as its certification details additionally emerged online ahead of the formal announcement.
Just two weeks prior to the all-virtual Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung President & Head of Mobile Communications Business TM Roh wrote a blog post to confirm the absence of the new Galaxy Note in the company's 2021 lineup and S Pen support coming to foldable.
“Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Note this time around, we will further broaden beloved Note features to more Samsung Galaxy devices,” Roh said.
