The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the first Galaxy S smartphone to have support for the S Pen. Although, it misses out on some of the features of the Galaxy Note 20‘s Bluetooth S Pen. Samsung has now revealed more Galaxy devices will get S Pen support.
The source of the info is an official statement sent to SamMobile by Samsung in which a spokesman revealed that the Korean company plans to expand the Galaxy S Pen experience to more devices in the future. Below is an excerpt of the statement:
“We are committed to innovating new mobile experiences that flow seamlessly and continuously to make our consumers’ lives easier and better. We’ve made the bold decision to expand the S Pen experience to Galaxy S21 Ultra, and plan to expand the S Pen experience across additional device categories in the future. We remain committed to providing the best mobile experience to our consumers and will continue to actively listen and consider consumer feedback in our product innovations.”

As you can see, no specific Galaxy device was mentioned but leaks have revealed that one of Samsung’s upcoming foldable will have support for the input device. One from last October even said that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 may come with an S Pen.
The stylus which first appeared in the first Galaxy Note is now included with some of Samsung’s tablets and computers. Since the very first one, the S Pen has gained more features including Bluetooth connectivity and air gesture support.
Those planning to get the Galaxy S21 Ultra will have to pay an additional $40 for the S Pen. However, Samsung says that the S Pen from other Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab devices will also work. You will be able to use the stylus to draw, take notes, edit photos, and sign documents.
