According to a new report, Samsung may not be making major changes to its 2025 foldables after all, but it’s still too early to tell.

    If they could fit a tiny s pen in the Flip I’d buy it in a heartbeat. The Nintendo DS pulled it off.

      That’s not really a fair comparison. The Nintendo DS had a passive stylus so making it tiny was easy. The S Pen is an active stylus, there is a limit to how tiny you can make the electronics and still have them work.

      Don’t get me wrong, I would love the S Pen on a Galaxy Fold, but I don’t see them reducing it’s size by much. Putting it in the fold would absolutely require a sacrifice to the thickness of the phone, which is already an area where Samsung is miles behind the competition

      It seems like a stylus would be such a natural pairing with either device, it’s really surprising to me that Samsung has left this out of the build.

        Agreed! I had the fold previously and the S Pen case was so awkward. I’m blown away that that they didn’t make space for it in the phone itself. I had used every Note model before the Fold was released, and it was perfect.

        Nowadays I’m running a Flip 5 and it’s perfectly okay but I’m really hoping for something big in the coming years.
