Could Samsung drop the Note series and release a variant of the S8 to replace it?

S7 edge

More and more news are emerging that put us before different variants of the Galaxy S8 that are close to 6 inches. With this we would have in hand a phablet phone that could perfectly replace that Note series, which it seems that the Korean company wanted to bury underground, at least for a time until explosions and fires were a thing of the past. Even if we know that they are delaying the arrival of the Galaxy S8 for the month of April, it would not be so bad thought to launch a variant to replace the infamous Note series with that fateful Note 7.

Today we learned that even the Galaxy S8 could incorporate an S Pen as an extra accessory, which puts on the table the great possibility that we are really facing the temporary burial of a Note series and a Galaxy series that is taking larger integers to become the one that occupies the space in the market that it had in your possession Note them. We will see if this happens, since removing the Note series in 2017 would be quite an event, although it would not be the first time it has happened regionally.

A Galaxy S8 with an S Pen as an extra?

It's almost difficult to focus right now on what to expect from Samsung's Galaxy S8. It is mainly due to the fact that every day we have new information that tells us about its dual configuration, its fingerprint sensor embedded in the screen, its different variants in screen dimensions or that look without bezels that will take us to a smartphone closest to Xiaom's Mi MIXi think what was the previous Galaxy S7.

Pen S

Today's news puts us in front of a Galaxy S8 that would be launched with an external accessory, the S Pen. Yes, that Pen that has always been related to the Note series and that now you can access your purchase when you go to checkout to have in your hand a Galaxy S8 that is placed as one of the most interesting smartphones of the last times; What is interesting is due not only to its specifications, but also to the desire of the Korean manufacturer to bring the best possible mobile device to the market.

But it won't be integrated with the phone

The most notable difference is that the S Pen will not be integrated with the phone as it has happened in the Galaxy Note 7, although it will be sold separately with a price that will be added to the total of the S8. Previous rumors have put us in front of a Galaxy S8 Plus model with a 6-inch screen, so it seems quite evident that Samsung wants to fill that gap left by the Note 7 with some of the upcoming Galaxy S8 models.

Note

If we add to this its delay in arrival, precisely in the month of April, due to a delay in the manufacture of the Snapdragon 835 chips, the Korean manufacturer could kill two birds with one shot and leave the S8 as the flagship to rule the year in terms of sales, qualities and expectations from everyone.

Anyway, it must be said that the S Pen of the Galaxy S8 could be only sold in South Korea, so we will have to be cautious about this possibility and not be left with the desire, since there are many who have become accustomed in their Notes to use this tool to take notes, draw and interact with the terminal.

As a strategic move by Samsung it is well thought out, since would allow the Note series to "breathe" for a year to come up with something to go back and get rid of everything that happened with that Note 7 that was ranked as one of the best Android smartphones of all time.
