The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 has a thin and light profile, leading to the omission of S Pen support by removing the digitizer layer. Kang Min-seok of Samsung MX stated that consumer demand influenced these trade-offs. While the current model lacks improvements in battery capacity and charging speed, Samsung aims for a balance in future designs. The company is researching thinner technologies for the S Pen and may reconsider support based on technological advancements and consumer demand.
We are also researching and developing thinner and innovative technologies for the S Pen, so we will reconsider it when the level of perfection increases and there is consumer demand.
The decision to remove S Pen support, alongside the lack of improvements to battery capacity and charging speed, may not sit well with consumers right now, but Kang argues that these decisions were made in relation to consumer demand for a thin and light device.
Kang Min-seok confirmed that consumers wanted a thin and light product and that trade-offs had to be made.
Samsung is not giving up on adding stylus support for future Galaxy foldables, but it's a case of "the technology just isn't there yet".
