- Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup has steadily moved away from S Pen support, with the S Pen Fold Edition now effectively disappearing from Samsung’s US store.
- Even though Samsung still sells refurbished Fold devices like the Fold 5 and Fold 6, buyers can no longer reliably purchase the compatible S Pen accessories.
- This shift suggests Samsung is prioritizing thinner foldables over niche features like stylus support — signaling a clear end to the Fold-S Pen era.
The Galaxy Z Fold’s relationship with the S Pen has always felt a little complicated. When Samsung introduced S Pen support on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, it seemed like the company was taking a step toward turning its foldable into a true productivity powerhouse. Sure, the stylus wasn’t tucked inside the phone like it was on the Galaxy Ultra series, but at least Fold owners had the option. If you were the kind of person who loved jotting down notes, marking up documents, or sketching ideas on a large folding display, Samsung had you covered.
Fast-forward a few years, and that chapter appears to be closing. Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 dropped S Pen support altogether, signaling that Samsung’s priorities had shifted. Now, the company seems to be going one step further. In the US, Samsung has effectively stopped selling Fold-compatible S Pens, according to a report from SamMobile.
