The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is now available, and it may be the best Android smartphone. The Galaxy Fold is a reminder to a large portion of Android users of their disappointment with one thing. Samsung has decided to end the Galaxy Note series. Kaput. Fin. Fin. Let me be clear, I am not a Galaxy Note nut. The Galaxy Note is my favourite Samsung model over the years, but that's only because I love the S Pen. It isn't the phone that I would want to carry around every day so I stopped using it. If you are wondering what my ideal phone would look like, the LG V10 with the Pixel version Android 11 would be it. However, such an animal exists only in my head. It's okay. VPN Deals: A lifetime license costs $16, with monthly plans starting at $1. You might believe that other phones are a better choice than the Note because they include support for the S Pen. This reasoning is understandable and Samsung can benefit from this decision. Smart business moves include reducing the number of product lines that need to be manufactured and supported, while still offering its key feature in high-end products. This is what I think a lot of Galaxy Note users feel. However, not all people feel this way.

The Note series was not just about the S Pen. The Note series was a way for users to access the most recent hardware. It often included small upgrades to the regular Galaxy S, which was released earlier in spring. You didn't have to wait six months for these upgrades, such as a faster SoC, more memory, or better Wi-Fi or Bluetooth stacks. Notable are Samsung's improvements. The Note provided small but significant upgrades over the Galaxy S. Software tweaks are required, even though the version number hasn't changed much. The interface between the Galaxy S (and the Galaxy Note) was exactly the same, and unlike the Fold which has many different ways of doing things, it is not dependent on the Fold. It was even better on the Note. It is more refined. Fewer bugs. We got the updates we wanted. The price is another issue. The Galaxy Note was the most affordable Galaxy Note. Before any trade-ins or discounts, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra cost around $1,100. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will cost you around $1,800. It's up to the buyer to decide if this price is right for them. (Narrator) It is not. One phone is not worth $1,800. Samsung offers a $900 price increase if you want the best hardware.

It's possible that I am wrongly reading it, but it is a matter people pinning over the loss of a device that they loved. Everybody has their favorites, even phones. It doesn't have to be the reason they are our favorite. Take, for example, my obsession with LG V10. It was a terrible phone. It was heavy and bulky, it didn't have a great battery, and the software was terrible in a parking lot full of raiding orcs. Nearly all of them were boot-looped by bad hardware. It was my favorite. It doesn't matter what we want. It happens. It happens. Just as I cannot change my beloved phone into something I can purchase today, so people might not be willing or able to choose between the Galaxy S Ultra (number here), or the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Although this is unlikely to be the worst thing that anyone has ever experienced, it could. What can you do? The good news is that Samsung will continue to support its products for an additional year, so you can still purchase a Galaxy Note 20. You'll be happy for three more years if you get the Mystic bronze beauty. Perhaps Samsung will change its mind or the folding device will grow on them. It doesn't matter what, you can just put the issue on the back burner and forget about it later. The processor will not be upgraded, but you'll get the same type and amount of memory and storage. You don't have to purchase a separate S Pen for unproven display technology. This sounds like a win to my ears.
