Default Thin Galaxy Z Fold or S Pen support? Samsung doesn’t want you to choose.

  • 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 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 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 reports that Samsung Display is working with partners to support S Pen 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.
