There is a new trend in the smartphone industry that many manufacturers may follow. This is releasing a smartphone without a charger which was started by Apple. After the iPhone 12 series, the Xiaomi Mi 11 series also comes without a charger. However, that will not be the only intentional omissions from smartphones. According to recent reports, the Samsung Galaxy S21 will not come with a micro SD card slot. In addition, some markets will include chargers , and other markets will not include chargers with their packaging.

No Micro SD? What's the point of getting this series of phones?

If you give the S21 Ultra the S-Pen it's pratically a Note. The main difference is the boxy edges instead of the rounded ones and inserting the pen instead of having it on a case.

Samsung appears to be going all in on foldables so this does make sense. Roll the Note and S line into the same phone since they're almost that and make the new top end phone the foldable.

When the foldable gets the S-Pen it's a much larger canvas for users anyway. I'm betting in 3 years foldables will be the new normal. This is probably the last year we get a Note proper.
This. My homeboy got the Fold 2, that shyt is fire. The internals are a bit weaker, and the pen, but that's it. The ultimate phone is a Fold with a pen and Note specs. Next year if the trade in is good enough and I feel like spending the money, I might get the Fold 3 and live without the pen. That screen is so next level it's worth it. Hoping it's the true flagship and has the pen and best specs anyway and it's a wrap. They need to get the price down, though. shyt is getting out of hand.

Still rocking the Galaxy Note 9. No sense upgrading now, although it did stop vibrating when I get text messages. Not sure how to fix that though. Had to download an app where my light goes off when I get a text.
