While we wait for more details on that, a new patent discovered by David from xleaks7 showcases a Galaxy Z TriFold-like device with an interesting addition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1778518332_127_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung may bring an integrated S Pen to its future trifolds \"\/><\/p>\n<p>Samsung wants to integrate a dedicated space inside the trifold device, which would house an S Pen. According to the patent description, the stylus would be held in place via magnets and charged when stored, similar to how it works on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_s26_ultra_5g-14320.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>. To make that work on the trifold form factor, Samsung would also have to make the left portion of the folding screen narrower, which would make the whole device look a bit off-center.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1778518333_575_gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung may bring an integrated S Pen to its future trifolds \"\/><\/p>\n<p>With this being a patent, there\u2019s no guarantee that this exact design will ever see a commercial rollout, but it does show that Samsung is thinking about ways to bring stylus support to future trifolds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1778518333_84_gsmarena_003.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung may bring an integrated S Pen to its future trifolds \"\/><\/p>\n<p>A previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_z_trifold_2_and_galaxy_z_slide_are_on_the_way_first_details_leak-news-72011.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rumor<\/a> suggests that Samsung wants to make the Z TriFold 2 thinner and lighter than the original, so it sounds like that would make it even harder for that device to have space for an S Pen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saskaituisrasymas.lt\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Samsung already discontinued its Galaxy Z TriFold across multiple markets, we\u2019ve been hearing about its successor, which&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-422536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
