True, but then again, the original idea of the Note line was for a phablet size, while the regular S line was a "normal" size. Now with the S line matching the Note's size, the Note is losing its differentiation. We already see the difficulties Samsung is having in making the Note 20 (premium pricing, but lack features like faster refresh rate) position in the lineup. The S-pen is the only differentiation left, and looks like the S line is getting it. Samsung will probably just keep one Note Ultra model at the top line.

Samsung officially confirms Galaxy S21 event for January 14th
10AM ET on Thursday the 14th
Thats what the main samsung leakers are saying...Z fold will be their main flagship going forward from 2022 onwards.
It's risky due to the much higher price but guess we will see

Well, it's not that the Z line is not a "flagship," as it will receive the top spec as well, but imo that will be used mostly to trial bleeding edge tech like foldables. Meanwhile, the S line is the traditional flagship, top spec with the normal standard hardware people know and love. Once foldable tech becomes a normal thing, I'm sure the S line will also receive the foldable treatment.
But then again it's Samsung. They can change trajectory whenever they want to.

Samsung is very creative but it comes at a very high cost .The galaxy fold either it will make it or break it hard in a short period of time. The cost simply is unsustainable.

The price won't be much difference from s20's . Just add a couple hundred dollars.
S20 might start at 799 and S21 plus 899
S21 ultra
128GB-1299
256GB- 1349
512GB-1399
although I bet 128GB won't be standard everywhere.
only rough prices from what I have heard/seen

He has no idea. I highly doubt it will cost more than the S20 Ultra.
Edit: I did read a couple weeks back that the s21 and s21 plus are both getting $100 or more decrease in price but the Ultra might get a $50 increase. Not sure how accurate those reports are though.

What exactly is the point of posting a review of the first Fold from a site that has basically prided itself on ******** on every piece of technology in recent years? Just curious.
Also, this is the S21 thread not the Fold thread. But anyway...

The question was directed to me not to you. Its funny how you are acting like my spokesman and speaking for me. Not smart at all.
How logic it is a 2021 phone with extra features and probably s pen on top of that will cost same price as last years model ?
First of all all the camera is way better and advanced with extra optical zooming and other extras. Battery is bigger and god knows what else is there.

It all looks cool but they kind of messed up the smaller phones for me, downgrading the display specs from what I already have. I’m going to hold onto my pink S21 awhile longer. I want a flat Ultra and they didn’t make it this year, dangit. I like the Z Flips but I’m not ready to get one of those yet, either. They’re not tough enough to survive me, yet.
Ugh. Well, first off, this is a public forum so anyone can respond to anything. Thats pretty much the purpose. To have open, public discussion.
Second, its "not smart at all". Whys that? Whats going to happen? Nothing? Yep, what I thought.
Finally, to address your comment about extra features always costing more money. Well lets see. Lets look at the iPhone shall we since its the most popular device each year. From 2011 to 2016 the iPhone base price stayed exactly the same. Then the price went up for a few years, then went down a little in 2019 and back up a little in 2020. Are you saying for those 5 years without a price increase the iPhone added no new features at all? Because by your logic, it would have to increase every year.
Oh and finally, the reason I said you have no idea on the price increase is because nobody does. It hasnt been announced or even leaked by anyone that official. There are just guesses based on some rumored pricing.
Is it public forum? Damn how could i not realised this ?.
Trust me i am aware of that but when you personally quote me and forcibly put words on my mouth you are crossing the red zone.
Well, all my predictions last year were 110% spot on and please do not bring up iphone prices into this otherwise the discussion will go on forever.
I read from at least 5 reliable sources that S21 ultra will be more expensive than 20 ultra by at least €100 or €200 so you better take screenshot of this page because i will prove you wrong.
Oh no over in Android Central I saw an article that states Samsung has excluded SD card support from the two models under the Ultra, which fortunately will retain it. SD card support is one thing I really like about my Samsung phones. It lets me easily move from older to new phone with some artwork I made in my original Note 7 also retained. Sorry I’m babbling. Kids are extra loud today after the first day back to school. Lol. I can’t hear myself think.
You will be ok as long as there is alternatives for that feature. At least the screen is flat and the price for these models are rumoured to be cheaper than last year model ( except the ultra)
Lol oh no, I wouldn't want to cross the red zone. Grow up keyboard warrior.
No need to continue this. We'll know the pricing soon enough.
LoL i remember someone saying this to you. Anyhow lets not spam this thread but please don't hijack a question that's not directed to you ?.
Dudes, you all arguing about pricing? That’s like the most boring part! Also, it changes so fast with Android phones.
Here’s my prediction on pricing:
S21: Sigh. I don’t know about this. They cut some corners here. Oh wow that purple is dope!
21+: Really? You gotta be kidding me! Well I guess that’s not so bad. It’s the best choice for most people, I guess.
S21 Ultra: Oh no ****** way! Wait what, it can do what?! It’s got what? In your face, Apple! I’ll wait for a sale! I’ll trade. I can do this!
😜
