Samsung was right concerning the Galaxy Note

11 years ago in 2011, Steve Jobs announced that a 3.5-inch display was the “right” size for smartphone displays. Actually, he stated that nobody would buy phones with larger displays. Just a couple of months later, Samsung released the Galaxy Note with a 5.3-inch display, which on the time was considered huge since most phones were around 4 inches. To make things much more interesting, Samsung also shipped the Note with a stylus – something Steve Jobs himself threw away in 2007.

Principally, the Galaxy Note did all the things that was contrary to Steve Jobs’ smartphone concept on the time. It was an enormous success and sold over 10 million copies in only a couple of months. And that is despite the mainstream media making fun of his size. The phone was the primary phablet to change into an enormous success and inspired virtually every smartphone manufacturer to pursue larger displays, including Apple.

Fast forward to 2021, Samsung has decided to finish this iconic Note line as Samsung found it difficult to distinguish the S series from the Note series, in order that they decided to provide the S series S Pen functionality and discontinue the Note series altogether. But Note fans were pissed, they didn’t desire a half-baked product just like the S21 Ultra with an S stylus. They wanted an honest Note phone with a built-in stylus. That is why, after months of complaints and petitions, Samsung finally decided to return a Note impersonating an S series phone, i.e. S22 Ultra.

It seems that bringing back the Note was certainly one of Samsung’s best decisions in recent memory, in keeping with the newest data that saw the S22 Ultra top the list of best-selling Android phones in April. As might be seen from the sales data of the counterpoint study, the 4 best-selling phones in April were iPhones, with the iPhone 13 on the forefront.

While Samsung dominates overall smartphone sales, Apple dominates individual phone sales. And that is exactly what’s happening here. Interestingly, nevertheless, the list includes the S22 Ultra entry. It isn’t only Samsung’s best-selling phone, but it surely’s also the best-selling Android phone overall. It is a big event because for the primary time in a few years, an Android flagship appears on the list of 10 best-selling smartphones. Normally, Samsung’s budget phones feature on this list, but surprisingly, that is not the case this time, which proves that Samsung was right to bring back the Note, or quite, we Note fans were right to force Samsung to bring Note back.

Moving on, we now have some recent information concerning the Galaxy S23. To start with, many individuals have been asking whether Samsung will bring an under-display camera to the S23 Ultra. Well, South Korean sources mention that this isn’t happening. The S23 Ultra will once more use a punch-hole camera, which is definitely excellent news considering those under-display cameras still deliver potato-quality results. Then concerning the telephoto lens within the Galaxy S23 and S23+. Galaxyclub, which has good experience, reports that the telephoto lens on the S23 and S23+ will remain unchanged, which suggests they are going to still feature a 10MP camera with 3x optical zoom. Nevertheless, the front camera will probably be upgraded to 12MP on the S23 and S23+ from 10MP on their predecessors.
