With the Galaxy Z Flip 3, the Samsung shell has finally gone beyond the proof-of-concept and has become a flagship product. Improved durability, attractive design, and a more affordable price has helped the Galaxy Z Flip 3 become the most popular foldable phone on the market. The latest Galaxy Z Flip 4 hopes to replicate the same magic, bringing several significant upgrades such as a more durable and detailed exterior, improved cameras, a more powerful chipset, and a larger battery with fast charging support. But does the new clamshell support S Pen insertion similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy S22 Ultra?
If you’re planning to get the new Samsung clamshell, you might be wondering if it works with the S Pen. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 does not include an S Pen and does not support the S Pen (Fold Edition) nor the S Pen Pro. The lack of stylus support is a measure of cost savings and a limitation of the phone’s unique form factor. The Galaxy Z Flip 4’s screen isn’t as big and wide as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 to really take advantage of the S Pen. Not to mention that enabling S Pen support requires adding a digitizer under the screen, which makes the Galaxy Z Flip 4 more expensive and requires some engineering to maintain the thickness of the device and the overall design. Even if Samsung added S Pen support to the Galaxy Z Flip 4, most users wouldn’t like the idea of carrying the stylus separately because the Flip can’t store the stylus inside a phone or case. The whole idea of the Flip is to fold into a smaller device, so adding a few items to carry it doesn’t keep up with the flow on this phone.
For a limited time, Samsung is offering a free memory upgrade and a free standing cover with the S Pen when you pre-book the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Plus, XDA readers can get up to $200 in additional benefits by clicking the link below!
If an S Pen or stylus is essential to your workflow, consider getting the Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Galaxy S22 Ultra instead. Note that Samsung does not combine the S Pen with the Galaxy Z Fold 4; You will have to purchase one separately.
