Samsung’s next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S21 series is likely to be the beginning of Samsung merging the S-line and Note-line of flagships. In fact rumors have been floating around suggesting that the S21 Ultra will in fact come with an S-pen as well, something that has been reserved for the Note line up so far (and some Samsung tablets).

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (part) production seems to be starting rn. Will have to wait a little to confirm if this is mass production or just sampling for PVT/DVT devices.

It’s noteworthy that Quandt does mention that he is unsure if the production is actually Samsung mass producing the device or if these are units for prototyping and design validation testing, so if you are hoping to get the S21 series earlier than usual, I’d suggest you take this information with a pinch of salt.
