Samsung is reportedly working on tech that would bring S Pen support to screens without a digitizer.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 offers S Pen support due to the digitizer under the screen, but this part makes the foldable thicker.
So being able to support stylus input without this component would make for a thinner foldable phone.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-3385438/) is a relatively thick foldable phone compared to rival devices, but it still stands out thanks to S Pen support. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-special-edition-3492282/) offers a significantly thinner design but lacks S Pen support altogether. Fortunately, it looks like you might not have to choose between stylus support and a thin design in the future.
The Elec (https://www.thelec.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=31433) reports that Samsung Display is working with partners to support S Pen (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-s-pen-the-ultimate-guide-925944/) input without requiring a digitizer. Digitizers are display components that are key to enabling stylus support. Virtually every Samsung phone that supports a stylus has a digitizer under the screen.
