- Samsung’s Z Fold phones have supported its S Pen stylus in the past, even though the foldables could not internally store the pen.
- With the upcoming Fold 7, we’ve been hearing rumors of a new approach to the S Pen in general, though sources have disagreed on specifics.
- A last-minute leak of Fold 7 launch materials appears to make no mention of the S Pen, raising doubts about support.
We’ve got less than a day to go before Samsung executives take the stage at Unpacked to announce the company’s latest mobile tech. The past few months leading up to this launch have been jam-packed with leaks and rumors, giving us a very solid set of expectations when it comes to the new foldable phones and wearables we’re going to see introduced. But even at this incredibly late hour, new information is still emerging. Sometimes, though, it’s not the information you get, but the information that’s absent which ends up revealing the most.
Samsung’s long had a love affair with the stylus, and its S Pen found a home in Galaxy Note devices for years, before moving on to the Galaxy S Ultra family. And while the S Pen has also featured prominently on Galaxy Tab tablets, maybe its most surprising affiliation has been with the company’s foldables.
