A new leak indicates that only the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 will get stylus support, as the S Pen won’t work with the Flip 3.
The foldable phone is no longer just a gimmicky device targeting a particular niche of the market. Samsung wants the form factor to go mainstream. And the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 certainly feel like mainstream smartphones. They’re not official until next week, but we think we know everything about the two foldable handsets already. The rumors say that both handsets will be more durable, just like traditional smartphones. They’ll also be more affordable than their predecessors, with the Flip 3’s price reportedly in iPhone 13 Pro range. Samsung will also try transplanting the S Pen stylus to the Fold 3, a first for foldables. That’s another trick that might make foldable phones more like their flat counterparts. Reports last year said that Samsung wanted to bring S Pen functionality to the Fold 2 but ultimately ditched the feature. The foldable display’s fragility might be the reason the Fold 2 did not get a stylus. But almost every Fold 3 rumor we saw this year said Samsung will bring stylus support to its best foldable.
