Samsung introduced S Pen support to its book-style foldable smartphone lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which made the large screen even more useful. Unfortunately, the brand dropped the feature with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to make the device thinner. The company's latest phones in the series, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 8, also lack S Pen support, a glaring omission that would have made these improved screens even more useful. Ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, 2026, Samsung's Vice President of Mobile R&D Hardware, HS Moon, was asked about S Pen support for Galaxy Z Fold devices in an interview. Samsung's track record gives hope for S Pen's returnWill that happen with Samsung's next book-style foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 9?
