With the thin and light profile of Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung had to make some sacrifices. One of the most remarkable omissions is the lack of support for the pen since Samsung has abandoned the digitizing layer of the folding screen. This, however, does not mean that Samsung will give up the S Pen on future folding.
Samsung MX (Mobile Experience) CEO – Kang Min -Seok spoke to the Korean outlet Et news And they confirmed that consumers wanted a subtle and light product and that compromises had to be made. Although Z Foll7 does not present the S Pen support, Samsung does not surrender to the addition of the support of stylus for future folding galaxies, but it is a case of “technology is not yet there”.
We are also looking for and developing thinner and more innovative technologies for the pen, so we will reconstruct it when the level of perfection increases and there is a demand for consumers. ” – Kang Min -Seok, CEO of Samsung MX
The decision to remove the support of the S pen, together with the lack of improvements in the battery capacity and charging speed, may not be good with consumers right now, but Kang claims that these decisions have been taken in relation to the consumer demand of a thin and light device.
He also declares that Samsung aims to “pursue a perfect balance of the product, not only thinness and lightness”, so we hope that we will see future fold devices Z with larger batteries, faster recharging and support for the pen.
