The launch hints that extra Note options will likely be coming to the Galaxy S collection — particularly the subsequent Ultra cellphone within the lineup, which seems to be poised to tackle the Note’s built-in stylus and associated productiveness options.

This doesn’t come as a lot of a shock. Last yr’s S21 collection took a half step towards absorbing the Note collection when it integrated S-pen assist. When the S22 leaks began to roll in, it started to look extra apparent that the S-series Ultra, particularly, would kind of turn out to be the brand new Note, full with a built-in stylus silo. We count on to get the entire particulars at Samsung’s February Unpacked occasion, although the precise date and time are nonetheless unknown.
