According to the info, Samsung Elec decided not to introduce S-Pen storage with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 foldable phone launching in the second half of this year. Reportedly, the research and development progressed, but, the problem of securing internal space had an impact.

Internally, the company has made the decision to provide in-built S Pen support in this year’s foldable, which has recently been pulled. From 2019 to 2022, the South Korean tech giant introduced four generations of Galaxy Z Fold smartphones, while the S Pen’s arrival won’t become reality this year as well.

With the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung first brought the S Pen input support, which was continued by the Galaxy Z Fold 4 last year. In both models, S Pen can be used on the main screen, but, you need to carry the gadget in a case as an additional accessory.

S Pen’s arrival on Galaxy foldable phone is possible but it will become thicker, which Samsung doesn’t want to make at the moment. It is also reported that when the Pen is built in, the cost burden, such as the increase in factory price, is expected to increase, which is another hurdle.

“The hinge structure of the new foldable product has changed and the internal space structure has also changed, making it difficult to mount the S Pen,” an industry official close to this issue said.

Making mistakes is human nature, but sometimes even small mistakes can become huge. Therefore, while manufacturing smartphones, Samsung takes care that such mistakes do not damage the whole device.

Back in 2015, Samsung created Galaxy Note 5 smartphone which too has built-in space to store S Pen. However, due to inserting the S Pen from the reverse direction, multiple customers ended up damaging their S Pen as well as their smartphones.

At that time, Samsung took a dig by saying that it had already instructed customers to use the S Pen carefully. “We highly recommend our Galaxy Note 5 users follow the instructions in the user guide to ensure they do not experience such an unexpected scenario caused by reinserting the S Pen the other way around,” the company said.

But the company learned from the incident and fixed the design in the upcoming Note smartphone and other S series phones with built-in S Pen space. After Galaxy Note 5, Samsung introduced Galaxy Note 7, which has a mechanism that prevented the S Pen from going inside if inserted from downwards.

The same is the case with the newly launched Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung has designed the S Pen and S Pen slot of Galaxy S23 Ultra that doesn’t allow the accessory to insert in the other way. So if someone accidentally puts it downwards, it just doesn’t go in.

Samsung is going to launch the Galaxy S23 series next month, with the S23 Ultra will have a pretty big camera upgrade. The device will also have striking software upgrade support including 4 Android + security patches until February 2027.

Here are the top five reasons to upgrade your Galaxy S20 Ultra to S23 Ultra:

Software support

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series with Android 10-based One UI 2.1 out of the box. The Galaxy S20 device received three major OS upgrades, while the company is still committed to bringing two years of more security patches. The S23 Ultra runs Android 13 out of the box and will have satisfying support!

S Pen

Galaxy S20 Ultra is a powerful smartphone, but, it lacks S Pen support, which is an iconic feature. Samsung brought it to the Galaxy S21 Ultra as an external accessory, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a dedicated silo. If you consider buying the S23 Ultra, the S Pen feature will come along.

The report further indicates that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is under testing, which is powered by a strangely named Qualcomm chip, Snapdragon 985 5G. This mysteriously named processor is fabricated on 4nm process technology and could be a custom CPU for Samsung foldables.

Samsung wanted to bring the S Pen slot with the past generation of the Galaxy Z Fold but it didn’t happen because of limitations. In 2023, the S Pen slot is finally coming to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphone as the company slightly increased its thickness (6.3mm to 6.5) and weight.

Last but not least, the increment in the phone’s weight happened because of serious camera upgrades. A tipster recently revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could come with a 108MP camera sensor. The report indicates that the Z Fold 5 device could bring a completely new camera setup.

At present, the company is focussing on the Galaxy S23 series smartphones and Galaxy Unpacked for February. After the first unpacked, there could be an Unpacked Part 2 where the Galaxy S22 FE and Buds 2 Live could be introduced. For now, we suggest you take the latest Fold 5 rumors as a grain of salt.

It’s obvious that the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone will come with S-Pen support as well as build-in space for it. Just like the phone has been listed on various certification sites, the S-Pen is also getting approval from these certification sites.

The SIRIM listing, shared by tipster Mukul Sharma, reveals that the device bears model number EJ-PS918. It’s worth mentioning that this same device has earlier spotted on the FCC database as well.

Other than this, the certification site does not mention any new features or changes that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra S-Pen will carry. So far, no such report has come which clears that there will be any new features in this S-Pen. Looks like Samsung will only bring some minor improvements this time. The rest we will know with the passage of time.

Samsung to make foldables thinner, with S Pen slot

Per the input, the South Korean tech giant had initially planned to introduce a dedicated S Pen slot on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but it didn’t happen due to hardware limitations. Besides, Samsung also wanted to bring more powerful lenses on the Fold 4 but this change was significantly increasing weight and thickness.

The latest Galaxy Z Fold 4 weighs 263 grams which sounds quite heavier than the iPhone 14 Pro’s 206 grams and iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 240 grams. Foldable phones’ weight reduction is the biggest challenge, Samsung noted, and believes suppliers need to overcome so foldables can become lighter, thinner.

• Challenges:
  1. Weigh less
  2. Thinner form factor
  3. More durable
  4. Reduced crease on the screen
  5. Dedicated S Pen slot
  6. Powerful camera

Foldable Apple products coming next year?

Apart from future goals and sharing strategy with partners, the Korean tech giant shared its expectation that Apple will join the foldable space in 2024. The initial Apple foldable products might be MacBooks and iPads instead of foldables.

According to the information, Samsung mentioned, on its official site, that the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s Standing Cover’s S Pen can also be used on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphone. Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 also supports S Pen stylus input.

Samsung claims, the Standing Cover has been upgraded to suit the brand new Galaxy Z Fold 4 — and the S Pen Fold Edition that works with it now. Consumers can work smarter with S Pen as a dedicated and detachable S Pen Fold Edition holder is included with the Standing Cover.

Earlier, we expected that the company might offer the S Pen support for cover display as well, but, the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s inner display is only functional with stylus input. For foldable displays, the company has developed a special S Pen, in order to keep the flexible screen secure from the nib of the stylus.

Pre-order benefits

• Samsung offers $200 in Samsung credit on the purchase.
• AT&T offering free memory upgrades and qualified trade-ins can receive up to $1,000 off.
• Verizon offers up to $800 in addition to a free memory upgrade and accessory discounts if you send in an outdated gadget.
