In today’s smartphone market, Samsung is the only brand that consistently supports styluses. Samsung switched their dedicated stylus support from their Note series to their flagship S lineup after discontinuing the Note line. According to a recent report, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 might finally feature a dedicated stylus slot in the future.
According to a patent discovered by Studimo and xleaks7, the stylus could be attached to either the rear or side surface of the Galaxy Fold 6. By eliminating the need for a separate stylus case, this method simplifies the user’s experience.
Samsung aims to create a foldable device that is as slim as possible, according to the patent’s description. It is possible, however, to increase the device’s thickness by incorporating a stylus slot, making it more substantial overall. For the next generation of foldable smartphones, attaching the stylus to the exterior seems to be a pivotal design element.
Samsung appears to want to create foldable devices in the slimmest form possible. Even so, incorporating a stylus slot into the device can result in a thicker overall profile. For the upcoming generations of foldable devices, the innovative approach of attaching the stylus to the device’s exterior seems to be a crucial design element.
The patent also mentions prospective improvements to the stylus. As a result, the upcoming stylus pen may include several buttons, enabling enhanced interaction and efficiency.
As a result of the patent, not only is a practical issue addressed, but also a stylus that can be seamlessly integrated with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 is promised to enhance the user experience.
Samsung’s next set of foldables won’t launch for months yet, so we should keep this in mind. Further, not every patent indicates what will be incorporated into the final product. Samsung’s exploration of an idea does not guarantee its inclusion in the final product.
