Samsung is rumoured to it may be again looking to incorporate support for the stylus in future versions of the Galaxy Z foldable, and they could even get a dedicated slot for it.
A report by South Korean publication ETNews claimed that Samsung is developing new technologies for the S-Pen. This was reportedly revealed by Samsung's Head of Smartphone Product Planning, Kang Min-seok.
Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which debuted at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event on July 9, is the first book-style foldable from the South Korean tech giant in several years, which does not offer support for the S-Pen.
However, Samsung's current Galaxy S flagship phone does ship with an S-Pen included, while it does not support features like Air actions, remote camera shutter, and hands-free operation.
“The functionality was removed due to less than 1% of the users utilising the stylus,” the company stated during its launch event.
According to the report, Samsung is researching and developing “thinner and more innovative” technologies for the stylus.
It is expected that the South Korean-based tech giant will bring back the S-Pen when the “level of perfection” increases, along with the rising consumer demand for it.
The official also highlighted that Samsung is striving to get a product balance and not just striving for “thin and light” products.
