In contrast to previous Galaxy Z Fold devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 does not support the S Pen<\/a> stylus. Samsung made this trade-off to achieve a thinner and lighter<\/a> foldable phone. The S Pen may be reintroduced to the Galaxy Z Fold series in the future, though, depending upon sufficient demand and satisfactory performance of superior solution that Samsung is developing.\n<\/p>\n

\nFuture Galaxy Z Fold phones could get S Pen support with new technology\n<\/p>\n

While many appreciated Samsung’s efforts in making the Galaxy Z Fold 7 thinner and lighter than the previous models, some didn’t like the fact that the company removed S Pen compatibility. However, it appears that the S Pen isn’t gone for good. Samsung is planning to bring back the S Pen to future Galaxy Z Fold phones with a newer technology.<\/p>\n

According to a report from ETNews<\/a>, Kang Min-seok, executive director of Samsung Electronics’ MX business division, said that the company is researching and developing thinner and more innovative technologies for the S Pen. They also revealed that Samsung will consider bringing the S Pen to the Galaxy Z Fold series when the technology achieves the performance that the company is aiming for and when there is enough demand for it.<\/p>\n

The existing S Pen is based on Wacom’s EMR technology and needs a digitizer but not a battery. The Apple Pencil for iPads doesn’t need a digitizer either, but it requires a battery inside the stylus. A previous report had claimed<\/a> that Samsung is working with South Korean firm HiDeep to develop an S Pen technology that doesn’t need an separate digitizer and battery.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kang also said that Samsung is pursuing products with a balance and not just aiming for thinness and lightness. This lines up with the company’s decision to switch from an under-display camera to a regular selfie camera<\/a> placed inside a punch hole-shaped cutout in the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s inner (foldable) screen. It is just better for the image and video quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In contrast to previous Galaxy Z Fold devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 does not support the S…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[9793,11478,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-11518","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-galaxy-z-fold-7","9":"tag-s-pen","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
