For years, the Galaxy Note wasn’t just a smartphone — it was a statement. It stood for innovation, ambition, and the belief that a phone could be more than a tool; it could be a companion for creators, thinkers, and doers.
From my first Note to the legendary Note 20 Ultra, each generation felt like it was built for people who wanted to do more. The S Pen wasn’t just a stylus — it was a symbol of productivity, precision, and creativity. Writing on that big, beautiful display, taking quick notes on the fly, or sketching an idea in the moment ,it all made the Note feel truly personal.
I recently made the switch to the Galaxy S25, and while it’s an incredible device in every sense — sleek, powerful, and polished, part of me still misses the soul of the Note. There was something about that squared-off design, the weight in the hand, and the quiet confidence it carried. The Note didn’t try to fit in, it stood apart.
I know the spirit of the Note lives on in the Galaxy S Ultra line, and I’m grateful Samsung kept the S Pen alive. But for those of us who grew up with the Note, it will always represent a golden era of innovation — a time when Samsung wasn’t afraid to dream big and redefine what a phone could be.
Here’s to the Note — the legend that taught us power can also be elegant. 🖊️💙
Sorry, but the S25 Ultra is the same as the old Note; the only thing they did was rename it "Ultra."

No, it absolutely is not. I was using the Note line since the Note II, the S series phones feel like cheap replacements compared to the Note series. The removal of the curved edges, no Bluetooth in the S pen, and extremely poor porting of the software functions, means that NO, the S25 Ultra is NOT the same as the Note line.
