In an effort to bolster profit, Samsung may merge the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S series. This can result in lower production costs and also increase the profit margins.
According to a report by The Bell, Samsung is struggling to adjust its flagship model lineup to defeat profitability deterioration caused by the saturation of the smartphone market.
The Galaxy Note and the S Series are almost similar. The only difference between the two is the fact that the Note series offers an S Pen and a few other software features. The discussion that the two products should be unified into a single cost reduction has been raised inside the IM division.
The company is also said to have a modest sales goal for the Galaxy Note 9, aiming to ship a total of 12 million units. The reports points out that this move is to rather, retain existing customers, rather than win over new ones.
According to previous reports, it has been suggested that the S Pen, will receive its ‘biggest update ever’ for the Galaxy Note smartphone. A China-based serial tipster Ice Universe has claimed that the Galaxy Note 9 S Pen will essentially be a portable Bluetooth controller. As the device will have support for Bluetooth, the S Pen could be used for triggering a long-range remote self-timer and for controlling music playback as well. Apart from this, the S Pen is said to bring in many more features too.
Earlier reports suggested that the release of the Galaxy Note 9 was delayed from the end of July to the beginning of August as Samsung’s vice chairman Lee Jae-Yong wanted to make the device thinner, by reducing the display cover glass by approximately 0.5mm. This could have been achieved by lessening the footprint of the glass designed to protect the OLED panel.
The purported Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was spotted on Geekbench a few months ago. The listing revealed that the device will feature Exynos 9810 SoC and sports model number SM-N960N. It stated that the smartphone will include 6GB RAM and run Android 8.1 Oreo. In terms of rumoured specifications, the device will feature a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. It will be backed up by a 4000mAh battery.
