On the afternoon of March 17, Yonhap News Agency reported that Koh Dong jin (Gao Dongzhen), head of Samsung's IT and mobile communications business department, made a speech at Samsung's annual shareholders' meeting, saying that Samsung would not give up the Galaxy Note series, but there might be no update of Note series mobile phones this year.
On the Galaxy S21 Ultra released at the beginning of this year, Samsung gave the S Pen to the flagship of the Galaxy S series for the first time, and immediately cancelled the rumor of the Galaxy Note series.
Gao Dongzhen mentioned at the Samsung shareholders' meeting:
The Galaxy Note series products will continue to exist, but "the release of two flagship models supporting S-Pen within one year may bring us great pressure, so the new Galaxy Note series may not be launched in the second half of this year. Next year, the release time of Galaxy Note may be different from the past, but we are trying to continue the series. The Galaxy Note series is an important category for us. ”
When referring to folding screen phones, he said that Samsung has solved the display problem to some extent and is trying to expand production capacity, but folding screen phones cannot be produced like ordinary phones.
As for the recent chip supply problem, it said that Samsung was trying to avoid any operation interruption caused by chip supply shortage, as seen in the automotive industry. I can't say that we have solved this problem 100%. We may face problems in the second quarter, but everyone is trying to solve the problem
Samsung released the first generation of Galaxy Note in 2011, creating a new category of giant screen phones. Although there was a battery problem in the Note7 generation, the Galaxy Note series with S Pen has always been the representative of Samsung's annual flagship. Only last year on the Galaxy Note20 series, the Note series first encountered a situation where the configuration was not as good as that of the Galaxy S series.
Gao Dongzhen also said a very meaningful word at the shareholders' meeting:“ I believe we have the best technology, but we may lack brand ambition ”。 Samsung still like this, can not help but mixed feelings.
