This year's Galaxy S22 Ultra went a step further than its predecessor and came with an internal storage slot for the S Pen, now it's being reported that Samsung could follow the same path for its next batch of Galaxy Z foldable smartphones. The question is, do you want S Pen functionality on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4, and would you actually make use of it?
The report (from The Elec via Joshua Swingle)says that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4 will feature a built-in S Pen comes. It seems that Samsung has decided to include a built-in S Pen in order to show off the productivity chops of the new Fold and Flip handsets. The report goes on to say that we can also expect the Galaxy Z Fold 4 to feature smaller internal and external displays (7.56-inches and 6.19-inches) but with a similar design as its predecessor.
Coming back to the S Pen, Samsung is on a mission to add its functionality to more of its premium devices which now includes a Galaxy S handset for the very first time. The inclusion of the storage slot to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 chassis would mean a decrease in battery capacity unless Samsung manages to find some extra space somewhere.
So the big question is, will you actually use the S Pen if an internal slot is included on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4? Let us know in the comments below.
I won’t buy a new phone unless it has an S pen! I have come to depend on the pen and love it.
I would absolutely use the s pen. I have a spinal injury to my neck, and using my finger to navigate the keys causes pain in my hand, then starts to get numb.
Using the stylus allows me to position my hand and grip in a position that prevents that from happening.

Yes I would definitely be interested in the z fold if it had the stylus built in
Adding the capability to use the s pen with Z flip 4 would make it a real iPhone mini killer. It would add all the practicality of notes with the delightful pocket fitting form factor, even better if they had a scaled down but ergonomic s pen that would fit the flip especially if it came with a specialized s-pen-4-the-flip case. I would pay a premium for that.
