And this is why you need to get a new S Pen<\/b>
\nSamsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 3 earlier this week with much fanfare, and one of the highlights is the support for pen input. This is the first foldable to come with such a feature, and to make sure the full potential of this functionality is unleashed, Samsung has also released a new S Pen specifically built for foldable devices. Naturally, those who already own a Samsung Note20 may be tempted to believe that using their S Pen with the new Galaxy Fold is totally possible. But as far as Samsung is concerned, this is a big no-no. The company explains that using an older S Pen with the new foldable device could break the screen, and of course, this is the reason you should purchase a new S Pen specifically built for the Galaxy Fold 3. \u201cOnly Z Fold3 Main Screen has S Pen capability. Compatible only with the S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Z Fold3 (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen,\u201d Samsung explains. In case you\u2019re wondering why this is happening, it\u2019s because Samsung has designed the new S Pen with a special tip specifically to prevent any screen damage. \u201cS Pen for Z Fold3 comes in two options: S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro12. Both feature a specially engineered retractable Pro tip with force limit technology to protect Z Fold3\u2019s Main Screen for peace of mind while using the S Pen. This is Samsung\u2019s best S Pen experience yet, with even lower latency for true-to-life composition\u2014ensuring that notetaking and sending messages is seamless and intuitive,\u2019 the company explains. The Galaxy Fold 3 and the new S Pen are both available for pre-order today.<\/p>\n
