There might be at least one Galaxy Note next year before Samsung puts the series out to pasture. Korean media outlet ET News reports that Samsung will eventually merge the Galaxy S and Note lines by adding an S-Pen to the former. However, the company might still launch a Galaxy Note series phone, presumably the Galaxy Note 21, next year.

This isn’t the first we’re hearing of Samsung scrapping the Note series altogether. Just last week, another Korean business daily reported that Samsung will add the S-Pen to the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 3, discontinuing the Note series for good. The latest report also reiterates this information but quotes an official from the smartphone industry saying that Samsung will phases out the line with one last Note phone.

“It is likely that there will only be one model of the new Note series that is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2021,” the unnamed industry insider told ET News. “Samsung Electronics will look to focus more on foldable smartphones rather than its next Note series in the second half of 2021,” the person added.

The report goes on to suggest that Samsung plans to launch multiple foldable phones in 2021. But before that, the company is looking to conduct more research and development on ultra-thin glass as well as the digitizer. The latter facilitates S-Pen inputs and needs to be foldable in order to be implemented on the so-called Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Rumors about Samsung ditching the Note series have been circulating since 2018. At one point, the company was reportedly debating a new name for the unified Galaxy S and Note line. While we haven’t heard any more rumors to that effect this year, the demise of the Note series seems certain. Samsung hasn’t acknowledged these reports yet, but we might get an update from the company during the purported January launch event for the Galaxy S21 series.

5 best dialer apps and contacts apps for Android

Update: This list currently has Drupe as an entrant. It is a really good contacts and dialer app. However, recent security vulnerabilities are causing a big fuss about the app . The security vulnerabilities are gone now. Thus, we’re reinstating the app to our list with a word of caution to our readers. Hit the link to learn more. Dialer apps and contacts apps are a bit of a niche market. In most cases, the stock dialer and contacts app is more than good enough most of the time. However, there are some cases where it may be necessary. The Note 8 occasionally freezing while using the contacts app is a good example. In any case, there are a bunch of decent options, but only a few really good ones. Also, we considered doing separate lists for contacts apps and dialer apps. However, generally speaking, if you get one, you get the other too. Both lists would pretty much have the same apps. Thus, we’ve consolidated it into a single list here. Here are the best dialer apps and contacts a

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look.

I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will

Here’s a sneak peek at the design of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition

Credit: OnePlus New teasers of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition hint at the phone’s design. They show a large, horizontally placed rectangular camera housing. There’s also plenty of Cyberpunk branding on the back panel of the phone. OnePlus has announced the launch date and time for the Cyberpunk 2077 themed OnePlus 8T . The phone will be revealed in full on November 2 at 2 PM local time in China (2 AM ET). But that’s not all OnePlus has given us. The company has also posted a teaser image of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition on Weibo , giving us a hint of what to expect from its design. The image shows the back of the phone, but it’s too dark to really tell anything. We popped the photo in an image editor, and after tweaking its brightness and contrast a bit, saw what the back panel design could look like.
