No more thick foldables? Samsung's new S Pen tech could be game changer for Galaxy Z Fold 6: Here's how
The Elec, Samsung Display is collaborating with its partners to develop a method of incorporating S Pen input into its foldable devices without the necessity of a digitizer. A digitizer, a key component responsible for stylus support, has traditionally added extra thickness to phones, with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 being a prime example of a device with a digitizer to enable stylus functionality.The current Galaxy Z Fold 6, while featuring S Pen support, is relatively thicker compared to some of its competitors.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition opted for a significantly thinner design, but this came at the cost of S Pen support. The upcoming breakthrough, however, could allow Samsung to combine both a slim profile and S Pen capabilities in future foldable models.
While it remains unclear when this technology will be ready for mass production, Samsung fans may soon have a choice between a slim, stylus-enabled foldable phone and one with traditional thickness.In related news, Samsung is also preparing for the launch of its next flagship series, the Galaxy S25, expected to arrive in both Indian and global markets.
