Where we have noticed it the most is in the PC market with graphics cards (where in addition to the limited production, cryptocurrency mining makes it impossible for us to get a new one) or new generation consoles like the PlayStation 5.

Samsung will skip the Galaxy Note due to the shortage of chips

In recent months there has been controversy regarding the disappearance of the Galaxy Note. The main reason several analysts pointed to wasthe absence of leaks, something that did not make sense but that to some extent has been fulfilled. There was no information about a new Galaxy Note because indeedthere won’t be a Galaxy Note in 2021But the reason is not what the rumors pointed out.

It was Koh Dong-jin himself, CEO of Samsung Electronics, who made it official. The boss of Samsung has made some statements regarding the shortage of chips, among which he has ended up highlighting a hiatus within the Note range.
