Despite its multiple improvements, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a striking dealership for this range of folding smartphones: the end of S Pen. Indeed, Samsung has chosen not to take care of his touch stylus. A choice that could extend very soon to the ultra galaxy S, for several interesting changes.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 signs the break between Samsung and S Pen
With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung finally catches up in the field of finesse by offering a thickness of only 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded. A feat, very close to the Honor Magic V5, which however signs the abandonment of the S-PEN.
As was the case on the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, the stylus is no longer compatible. The cause is simple: Samsung has removed the slab tactile sensor dedicated to this accessory. Thus, the S Pen will have held only three generations, from the Galaxy Z Fold 3 to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Unfortunately, this departure of the folding smartphones from Samsung, where the stylus could be used wonderfully on the big screen, would only be the beginning. Rumors accumulate concerning the disappearance of S Pen on the ultra galaxy S of the South Korean firm.
Jukan Choi Predicted last month that the Galaxy S27 Ultra would abandon the location dedicated to S PEN, thus suggesting a loss of compatibility with the following models. Note, the informant was right at the end of the stylus on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
For his part, Setstuna Digital estimated that this space would disappear with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. A logical choice for Samsung, which could also allow you to thin this Premium smartphone or add more battery.
It remains to wait until the beginning of 2026 to find out what sauce le S Pen will be eaten.
