Samsung appears to be switching things up with its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold5. Although the gadget is likely to include a number of remarkable features, it will not include built-in S Pen functionality. The forthcoming foldable smartphone will soon be available thanks to the Korean tech giant. The device will be released as a successor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5.
Some fans were dissatisfied with this choice because they expected the same level of stylus support as on prior versions. The pen input feature was implemented starting with the Galaxy Z Fold3 which was released in 2021. It was not built-in like the Galaxy Note, but instead required the purchase and use of a separate S-pen. It is convenient to write or draw on the screen with a pen, but because you must carry it separately, requests for a built-in device have been persistent.
The technical barriers are said to be still high. The built-in is feasible, but when the pen is inserted, the foldable smartphone becomes thicker. That clashes with the need for a foldable phone to be slim when folded. There is also a method for making the pen thinner, which lessens the writing sensation. The cost burden, such as the rise in product pricing, was recognised to be significant when the pen was built in. These are the primary reasons why Samsung has dropped the plan to introduce a built-in S Pen to the upcoming Samsung Z Fold5.
Samsung Electronics is working on a solution that increases writing comfort while also making the pen slimmer. As the demand for S-Pens embedded inside foldable smartphones grows, the business intends to further develop and release the technology. According to an industry source familiar with the situation, “the hinge structure of the new foldable device has evolved, as has the internal space structure, making mounting the S Pen difficult.”
