No evidence that Samsung is working on the Galaxy Note 21
We have been hearing conflicting reports about the fate of the Samsung Galaxy Note series. Since it's highly likely that the Galaxy S21 will support the S Pen stylus, it is evident the Note line isn't going to stick around for long.
Since the Note flagships are released in the second half of the year, it's still too early to discuss the Galaxy Note 21. That said, it's not unusual for companies to plan their flagship devices months or even years in advance. Thus, it's quite intriguing that there is no information on the development of the Galaxy Note 21 lineup at the moment.

As of late August, Samsung was apparently undecided about its plans for the second half of 2021.
Samsung could shake things up in 2021
The Galaxy S21 is reportedly in the production phase currently and multiple sources claim it will be released earlier than expected, probably in January.
Samsung sold nearly 296 million smartphones last year, and it goes without saying that foldable phones do not make a meaningful contribution to its overall sales currently.
The chaebol is apparently also working on an affordable foldable phone and it has kind of teased a rollable phone too which may arrive in 2021.
In short, Samsung seems to be in an experimental mode at the moment and it's hard to predict if we will see a new Galaxy Note handset next year.
