NO big deal, The note series always had great battery life. Even back in the day when I had the original Note device, it got better battery life than most every other phone. it's physically larger than other phones to compensate for the very tiny s pen slot.
That's the thing. The Note series used to be the bigger phone, with bigger screen and battery. But then Samsung makes the Plus and Ultra models for the S series.

Indeed. But coincidence that the S21U is a 6.8" compared to its predecessor ? ( I doubt it )
 
I suspect we'll see the Note back next year; didn't Samsung say that the chip shortage was a large part of why they weren't releasing one this year?

That said I went from a Note 10+ 5G to the S21 Ultra this year and while I do miss the stylus sometimes I don't miss it enough to have the case with the S-Pen holder!
