That's why rumors began to swirl that the company was shutting down production of all Notes and replacing them with new foldable smartphones.   Now, Samsung has finally broken its silence and claimed that it doesn't have any official plans to kill off the Note smartphone line any time in the near future. In fact, Samsung is preparing to add a new Note to its inventory in 2021.   That's undoubtedly good news for the dedicated fans of the Note, but it doesn't change the fact that sales have lagged behind other Samsung phones this year. While the company may have had a change of heart, it's hard to believe the Note will survive much longer.
