- The Fold 7 achieves 8.9mm thickness folded, strengthened screen durability, and omits S Pen compatibility unlike prior Fold models since 2021.
- Samsung stated only 1% of previous Ultra users utilized Bluetooth S Pen features, leading to feature removals considered not cost-effective.
- The removal of S Pen support may affect desirability but reflects Samsung’s focus on portability and design over stylus functionality in the Fold 7.
