With the Galaxy S25 Ultra reportedly losing some S Pen features this year, Samsung fans may find some relief in the latest rumor surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold7. According to a new report on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung is working on a redesigned S Pen for its next-generation foldable, making it slightly thicker. The reason for this change remains unclear, but it could signal improvements in ergonomics, usability, or even new features that require additional internal space.
Galaxy Z Fold7: Why a Thicker S Pen Could Be a Good Thing
Unlike the Galaxy S Ultra series, which comes with a dedicated S Pen slot, the Z Fold lineup does not include an internal holster for the stylus. Users must purchase the S Pen separately and pair it with a compatible case that can hold it securely. This design choice gives Samsung the freedom to make the S Pen bulkier without impacting the phone’s internal structure.
A thicker S Pen could mean better grip and comfort, addressing one of the common complaints about previous iterations. However, the real question remains: is Samsung making this change purely for ergonomics, or are they planning to introduce new features that require more space inside the stylus?
Will Samsung Retain Bluetooth and Air Actions?

One concern among users is whether Samsung will retain Bluetooth and Air Actions functionality in the redesigned S Pen. These features allow users to perform gesture-based controls, remote camera shutter activation, and media navigation with the stylus. Given that the S Pen for the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be losing some of these capabilities, it remains to be seen whether Samsung will make similar compromises for the Z Fold7.
As of now, there is no official confirmation from Samsung regarding the S Pen redesign for the Galaxy Z Fold7. However, with the Galaxy Unpacked event expected in the coming months, we may get a clearer picture soon. If the rumors are true, Samsung could be gearing up to enhance the foldable experience with a more refined and feature-rich S Pen.
