There have been multiple rumors suggesting the end of the Galaxy Note family, starting with the axing of the Galaxy Note 21 lineup. However, Samsung might have had plans on releasing a successor later this year if it were not for the ongoing chip shortage, according to an executive.

Bloomberg mentions that Koh Dong-jin, who is the head of the Samsung mobile division, states that there is a serious imbalance in supply and demand for semiconductors, which are crucial components required for the sale of smartphones. This means that Samsung has a difficult time producing its Exynos 2100, which is made on its 5nm node, and that in turn has also affected Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 shipments, which is made using the Korean giant’s technology.
