Samsung Tipped To Launch A New S Pen For Galaxy Z Fold 7

The latest news and leaks regarding the S Pen, Samsung’s stylus for some Galaxy flagship phones and tablets, have not been the best. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s stylus lost support for features like Air Actions and the remote camera shutter after the removal of the Bluetooth chip. Plus, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could also bring downgrades to the functionality of the accessory. That said, a new leak claims that Samsung will launch a new S Pen this year for the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold SE where a key change was the complete removal of S Pen support. Later leaks claimed that the 2025 Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be based on the said device. This made many fear a possible incompatibility with the accessory. The reports about a potentially downgraded S Pen for the Fold lineup gave more strength to such speculations. However, it seems that Samsung will continue to offer compatibility with its stylus on these devices.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be compatible with a new S Pen

According to tipster PandaFlash 𝕏, Samsung will launch a new S Pen this year. The post on X/Twitter claims that the new stylus will be specifically designed for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. That is, it might not even be compatible with older Z Fold models. The new S Pen is said to have a new tip for a better writing experience. The post doesn’t mention anything about potential functionality downgrades. However, considering it’s only compatible with the Z Fold 7, the previous rumors point to being true. Anyway, there are no details yet on what features might be lost along the way.

Production of the new S Pen will begin in June, the source claims. This makes sense considering Samsung typically releases its foldables in July or August each year.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 aren’t said to be impressive in terms of changes. Reliable tipsters claim that Samsung will stick with the conservative line seen in the Galaxy S25 series. The South Korean giant is betting on optimization and refinement to improve the user experience. The devices could be equipped with much more efficient screens for better battery life. They could also be more durable thanks to an improved internal structure. However, key sections such as battery capacity could remain unchanged on the Z Fold 7.
