I have no interest, personally, in an S-pen. My finger is quicker and more intuitive at this point. It’s just a gimmick. If it gets one I won’t upgrade.

If they decide to go with a display on the outside for the 6 and an S Pen, I may get that. It makes way more sense than this nonsense.

This doesnt seem to be such a bad thing.
I would always prefer the thicker and larger stylus that zfold 4 has rather than the tiny thing s23/22 ultra has .
We can always use cases that hold the stylus for integrating that with the phone. ( especially now that the phone will be thinner )
I would rather prefer the larger battery and better cooling mechanism to further optimize the battery life ( Much better than the fold 4 )
Also the enhanced sturdiness of the hinge and the screen should also be the main focus 9 especially since the service of Samsung is sketchy at best outside USA and South Korea for such an expensive device

After 2 years of waiting I gave up, still no S-pen silo, going for the Oppo N2 instead at the very least I wont have to put up with the Narrow front screen.

So you can spend 50 dollars on a Samsung official case with a SPen slot and another 50 dollars on a slimmer SPen version.

I wanted this. Didn’t want precious battery and thinned for a pen I will never use.

Olympus Oms, 21 Feb 2023So, fold 3 didn't have it. Typical Samsung to add some... more...the Fold4 doesn't have an S Pen slot either? They only added support for the S Pen. The Fold5 will have support as well, but no slot.

its not about thickness,its about marketing, such device with spen would break the sales of Ultra

Every. Year. I just want a foldable with inbuilt stylus. As a designer it’s invaluable.

selbz, 21 Feb 2023Another iteration I will have to skip then I guess. If I�... moreAgreed... I'm in the market for a new phone and was holding out for the Fold 5 for the S Pen integration. Now I guess I won't be adopting a folding phone until the next time I need one. Looks like the S23 Ultra will be my next one. I've had the pen since my Note 4 and never actually thought I'd use it when I got that phone. Now I'm on a Note 9 I don't think I could live without the pen.

It's also worth to mention that, in fact, z fold has way thinner profile than s22 or s23 ultra (about 8,9 mm) vs 6,3 mm on Z fold 4 so it's way harder to put on a built in stylus for the device.

UTG sucks but you're spouting nonsense.

Another iteration I will have to skip then I guess. If I'm paying near £2000 for a phone, it better have all the features.
