If this information is correct then we might not see the successor of the Note 20 lineup in 2021.
Samsung will launch the Galaxy S21 smartphones in mid-January of 2021 and the Ultra model will come with the S-Pen support. However, it is yet to confirm whether the S Pen will come inside the phone or as a separate accessory. If the company is planning to discontinue the Note series then it would probably offer the S Pen inside the S21 Ultra rather than selling it separately.
