Report: Samsung isn’t bringing S-Pen to Galaxy Fold 2
August 10, 2025
Samsung is widely expected to launch theGalaxy Fold 2in August, and it was believed to offerS-Pensupport too. Now, a new leak suggests that this isn’t the case anymore.
Korea-based websiteThe Elecreports that Samsung has decided against offering the S-Pen on the Galaxy Fold 2, citing sources within the company. The manufacturer apparently nixed the feature as it wasn’t able to make ultra-thin glass capable of being foldedandwithstanding pressure from the S-Pen.
Samsung reportedly investigated several other options, including the use of polyimide films and making a thicker cover glass that’s thinner in the folding area. The sources said that none of these options were thought to be viable, and that a foldable with an S-Pen has been pushed back to 2021.
This isn’t really too surprising when you think about it. The Galaxy Z Flip contained a plastic layer above the ultra-thin glass that could beeasily scratched. So if a similar solution is in play on the new foldable, then it seems like using a stylus would only invite more scratches and grooves.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is rumored to launch alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series in August. So those on the hunt for a new stylus-toting phone will have another option at least.
Other notableGalaxy Fold 2 rumorsinclude a bigger external screen with a waterdrop notch, a slightly bigger main screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a similar camera setup as theGalaxy S20 Plus.
