However, there is this one new report by a Korean publication, ETNews, saying that Samsung attempted to introduce an S Pen slot in Galaxy Z Fold 5, but it had to drop the idea because of some internal space problem. The report also added Samsung failed to secure sufficient internal space for the stylus on the upcoming smartphone.
The report likewise revealed that the South Korean tech giant tried to introduce a proper S Pen in Galaxy Z Fold 5 at the users’ request. It also stated that the company managed to integrate S Pen in the foldable mode but came across issues when the device was unfolded.
