The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is extremely thin and light, but Samsung had to remove S Pen support from it. After fans questioned its removal, the company stated that a newer S Pen technology is being developed, and the feature could make a comeback if there is enough demand for it and when the new technology's performance is deemed satisfactory.
A new report now throws some more light on the new technology that Samsung teased. According to TheElec, Samsung is developing a thinner digitizer, and if there is strong demand from consumers, the South Korean firm could bring it to future Galaxy Z Fold devices.
Samsung's current S Pen technology uses Electromagnetic Resonance (EMR), but a stylus can also be based on the Active Electrostatic Solution (AES) technology that Apple uses for iPads.
While an EMR-based stylus doesn't require charging, it is usually thin and doesn't offer much grip. A stylus based on the AES technology needs to be charged every few days, but offers better grip and doesn't need a separate digitiser.
Separately, Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics' display manufacturing division, has developed a new stylus technology in collaboration with South Korean chip firm HiDeep. The company has also reportedly considered glass instead of titanium for the backplate in Galaxy Z Fold phones since it is cheaper and easier to procure than Titanium.

Together with an AES technology or a thinner digitiser and a glass backplate, Samsung could bring the S Pen back to Galaxy Z Fold series phones in the future. However, as we mentioned earlier, it all depends on the demand from consumers and the maturity of the technology.
