If they could fit a tiny s pen in the Flip I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The Nintendo DS pulled it off.
Agreed! I had the fold previously and the S Pen case was so awkward. I'm blown away that that they didn't make space for it in the phone itself. I had used every Note model before the Fold was released, and it was perfect.
Nowadays I'm running a Flip 5 and it's perfectly okay but I'm really hoping for something big in the coming years.
That's not really a fair comparison. The Nintendo DS had a passive stylus so making it tiny was easy. The S Pen is an active stylus, there is a limit to how tiny you can make the electronics and still have them work.
Don't get me wrong, I would love the S Pen on a Galaxy Fold, but I don't see them reducing it's size by much. Putting it in the fold would absolutely require a sacrifice to the thickness of the phone, which is already an area where Samsung is miles behind the competition
The fold5 can use an S pen unless I'm an idiot.
Ah, I gave up wanting them to change course on that when it was clear that they never wanted to do it again for some insane reason. Note20 was probably the last.
They do have cases that will hold them, but the cases apparently suck.
