Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Support the S Pen? Here’s What We Know

With every new generation of Samsung’s foldables, fans eagerly anticipate new features — and the S Pen is always at the center of speculation. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is no exception. So, will it support the S Pen?

The short answer: it's still unclear, but there are multiple theories, each with its own implications.

No S Pen Digitizer, New Stylus System

One possibility is that Samsung may be removing the traditional digitizer used to detect S Pen input. This would allow the device to be even slimmer than its predecessors. Instead of using the traditional S Pen system, Samsung might be developing a passive stylus solution that works with a dedicated touch chip inside the display. However, this change would make existing S Pens incompatible with the Z Fold 7.

Redesigned S Pen or New Input Method

Another theory is that Samsung could be introducing a redesigned S Pen with a new detection method. Rumors suggest this pen might be thinner, possibly similar in style to the Apple Pencil. While such a redesign could bring a sleeker experience, it would likely mean incompatibility with previous Fold models.

S Pen Support via Case Accessories

Even if the Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn’t have a built-in S Pen slot or digitizer, some reports suggest S Pen functionality might be available through accessories — for example, via a phone case with a built-in S Pen holder. This would keep the device thin while still offering users the option to use the stylus.

Mixed Reports and Market Uncertainty

Leaks and insider information haven’t converged on a single answer. Some suggest S Pen support is still being tested or might launch post-release. Others believe it could be omitted entirely in favor of other innovations.

What This Means for Users

If you're a fan of the S Pen, it's important to stay tuned. Samsung may announce an entirely new stylus experience, or offer stylus support only through accessories. Either way, if the Fold 7 does bring a thinner profile and enhanced portability, it could mark a turning point in balancing slim design with functionality.

For now, we recommend keeping an eye on official announcements, especially if S Pen use is essential to your workflow. And if you're planning to protect your future device, don’t forget to check out Benks latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 cases — slim, durable, and built with precision.
