- Samsung could have a completely new pen under the sleeve
- An executive of the company revealed that Samsung is developing a new pen
- Will only return when the device is correct, and if enough people want it
The pen is dead, is the pen for a long time? Yes, although Samsung’s optical pencil has omitted the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, it may not be goodbye forever, be it a return in future generations or a return to the Z fold 7.
That is according to the comments made by Kang Min-Seok of Samsung, his head of smartphone products planning, at the Korean output Etnews. He explained that Samsung is “investigating and developing thinner and innovative technologies for pen” (Korean translated machine).
Adding that the pen pen will potentially return “when the level of perfection increases and there is consumer demand.”
This could be aligned with the Hideep Association of Samsung. It is said that the torque is working on a pen that does not require a digitizer or an internal battery, combining the best of the pen without battery and the Apple pencil without digitizer (through Sammobile).
A new optical pencil design could explain why Samsung eliminated the digitizer of its Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. If I expected to have the next generation pen ready for the launch of the Z FOLD 7, why would your folding load with a component that will soon be useless?
The fact that it is not yet suggests that the pencil pencil could have been delayed, or it could be that Samsung is simply retaining until its launch S26 Ultra to introduce a new pen to the world. However, that leaves a frustrating gap of 6 months or very long for users Z fold 7 suffering without an optical pencil.
Alternatively, linking the other aspect of Samsung’s comment, it could simply be that the pen was not popular enough with the Z folding line to guarantee continuous support. And although I have never felt the need to use an optical pencil, that seems both Samsung’s decision and mine.
Samsung condemned the pen
If you believe in online commentators, the tremendous and false Pas del Z Fold 7 is enough to kill the folding directly, but as an avid user of Z Fold 6, I think the reports of the death of the z fold 7 are very exaggerated.
I never felt the need to use a Pen S, and I don’t hope that now I miss it now.
If I ever needed scratching notes or scoring, I could use my index finger, which was always fast and precise enough for short annotations. Alternatively, I could write my annotation, either in its entirety, using slide to write, or talk to text to accelerate things.
Maybe this was not totally my decision, however, because the main factor in the decision to use my pen is not that I do not want to use one, I do not have one.
The z folding line did not come with a penpo like Samsung’s ultra phones, which means that I had to buy the pencil separately. In addition, it would need to find its own storage solution for the S PEN, and according to user reviews on the Samsung website, its official case of S Pen Z Fold 6 is more than terrible.
So, if the use of pen is low in Samsung’s folding, I am not surprised.
It is impossible to know how popular the rumored renewed s pen. While many are disappointed by the lack of a Z Fold 7 optical pencil, how many of them really planned to buy the folding, and a new and improved optical pencil would change their decision?
I will never say not to a renewal, but the real change I want to see is Samsung’s next folding fall with the optical pencil in the box. That would make it a true ultra equivalent as Samsung has promised for the Z Fold 7.
