Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will not support stylus

In this article too, we will look at Samsung's upcoming foldable phones. They are preparing two models for us this year, namely the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the classic folding model Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. We already know about the first of them that it will receive several improvements, including a larger external display. For the second model, it seems, it will be a bit the other way around. The phone will certainly get interesting parameters and functions, but it is still missing one.

WHY THE SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD 5 WILL LOSE THE S PEN 

When Samsung discontinued the Galaxy Note product line that supported the stylus, it brought that support to the Galaxy Z Fold phones. The first model with stylus support was the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021, followed by last year's Galaxy Z Fold 4 . Although the stylus was not built-in and had to be purchased additionally, the use of the S Pen still suited many users. Others, on the other hand, called for the manufacturer to work on the built-in pen. However, there are certain limits to the folding phone that have yet to be crossed, and among them is the built-in slot for the stylus.

It is not a problem to add a slot for a stylus, but the phone is quite thick. And users don't like that either, because they want the foldable phone to be as thin as possible. In addition, trying to make a foldable phone have a built-in pen slot while not gaining in thickness significantly increased production costs. This of course means a higher price of the final product. So it looks like a vicious circle. The way out is to cancel the stylus support completely. And the manufacturer decided on this path. So the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will not support the S Pen.

We can find this information on the South Korean website EtNews, along with a small, promising-looking postscript. Samsung is said to be still working on a solution to slim down the stylus, reduce the size of the built-in slot and thus preserve the slim design of the foldable phone. The demand for pens built into folding phones is growing. If the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be without a stylus, it is possible that we will see it again in the next generation of this folding model.
