Samsung ‘to SCRAP iconic Galaxy Note phone series’ after 10 years
SAMSUNG is planning to axe its pricey Note smartphone series after almost a decade, according to reports.
The premium phones are loved by millions for their huge screens and stylus for note-taking, but insiders say they will be discontinued in 2021.

Alongside the graphic, they wrote: "Galaxy Note."
