Last week, we heard reports that Samsung was planning to add S Pen stylus support to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and now there's more evidence of that decision via a patent application that just came through. be published. As LetsGoDigital discovered, the Samsung Electronics patent shows a mobile device that folds in half and supports the stylus. When not in use, the stylus fits into the body of the phone, just like with the Samsung Galaxy Note series. The obvious candidate for this technology would be the Galaxy Z Fold 3, although we don't read too much into the actual design of the device shown here as it's probably just a generic placeholder for Samsung's next foldable. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 came out in August, so we may have a few months to wait before a successor comes along. Based on previous patents, it looks like the hinge could get a major overhaul in terms of design.

There have been rumors that foldable phones will use Active Electrostatic Solution (AES) displays instead; it is more expensive but better for its flexibility. Just because the patent doesn't mention AES doesn't mean it's not genuine: that filing will have been going on for months, and from what we've heard so far, it appears Samsung hasn't. hasn't made a decision yet. on the matter anyway. The usual caveat about patents applies: these documents don't show actual products, but rather product ideas that companies are experimenting with. Samsung may take years to implement this technology, or it may not happen at all. Add to the speculation of the Fold and Note series merging though, and it looks like a stylus-equipped foldable is definitely something Samsung likes. If that doesn't strike the right balance in 2021, we could see it happen in 2022.
