The foldable smartphone as a concept is obviously something extremely interesting, and with enormous scope for progression. The foldable devices that we can already find on the market are just the tip of the iceberg.
This is exactly why we look at all the new generations with greedy eyes, to understand where manufacturers have focused in the last 12 years, to try to improve the format, and thus convince consumers who are still afraid of “the thing”.
Having said all this, Samsung is obviously one of the manufacturers that invests most in the format. In fact, we can even say that Samsung is the “mother” of the world of foldable devices, as it is currently very close to the sixth generation of foldable devices. It's been almost 6 years, and it seems that in 2024, we will even see some extra devices that are more wallet-friendly.
However, what we most wanted to see in the Galaxy Z Fold 6 seems to have been left (again) behind.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be thinner, lighter, but there is a problem…
Therefore, it seems that Samsung's new Z Fold 6 will appear with a slightly renewed and therefore more evolved design. We will have a screen with less apparent roughness, a more resistant body, probably with titanium in the mix, smaller margins, and of course, a thinner body, and a much lighter weight.
But, as you may have already noticed, Samsung had to make choices to achieve this more compact and lighter smartphone. One of the compromises was to leave the S-Pen outside the body of the smartphone again.
Apparently, Samsung has not yet managed to miniaturize the S-Pen enough to combine a super premium design with the capabilities of the pen itself. Obviously, the Z Fold 6 will continue to support the old stylus, however, this will have to continue to be stored away. What is boring.
Samsung continues to believe that this is not a priority. But, let's be very honest, in a world where we have more and more foldable devices, some more beautiful, lighter and thinner than the South Korean giant's Z Fold, the implementation of the S-Pen can and should be an important differentiating factor .
It won't be like this yet.
