US EditionSamsung Might Bring Back the S Pen to Its Foldables with an Improved Design – but only if You Really Want It
SOUTH KOREA, JUL 15 – Samsung removed the S Pen to achieve an ultra-slim 8.9mm design but is developing new stylus tech to reintroduce stylus support in future foldable phones, Kang said.
- Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 7 without S Pen support to achieve its ultra-slim 8.9mm chassis as of 2025.
- Samsung excluded the S Pen because the digitizer needed for stylus support conflicted with the phone's thin and light design goals.
- Executive Director Kang Min-seok revealed that Samsung is working on advanced and more compact S Pen technology, with the possibility of reintroducing stylus compatibility once the design meets high standards and there is sufficient consumer interest.
- Kang mentioned that Samsung will reevaluate the possibility of integrating the S Pen once the technology is more refined and there is sufficient interest from consumers.
- This situation implies Samsung may restore S Pen compatibility in future models like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 if technology and market demand align.
