Samsung is expected to launch a new series of foldable phones later this year with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 product lines. According to leaked reports, the company continues to maintain its current design completion strategy instead of creating a breakthrough.
However, a noteworthy detail is that the S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may be thicker than previous generations.
Those who love the Galaxy Z Fold and S Pen may be disappointed with the new generation. According to sources, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will have cut S Pen support compared to before, although it is not clear exactly which features will be eliminated.
Most likely, Samsung will follow a similar path to the Galaxy S25 Ultra - that is, removing the Bluetooth chip in the S Pen, causing the device to lose features such as remote control by gesture or wireless photography.
A good point is that despite some features being cut, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 still maintains the ability to support S Pen pencils. Previously, rumors suggested that the Z Fold 7 would be developed based on the Galaxy Z Fold SE version a device that is not compatible with the S Pen. This has raised concerns that Samsung may completely eliminate touch Pen support on the new generation Fold line. However, according to the latest information, this scenario seems unlikely.
Currently, the Galaxy Z Fold does not have a dedicated S Pen Slot, which means users have to buy this accessory separately with a special back cover.
Therefore, Samsung is not limited by the pencil design that must be suitable for the body, giving the company more space to improve the desired product.
