Galaxy Z Fold 7 ditched the S Pen, but Samsung''s working on a new version for future foldables
//automotive-transportation.news-articles.net/co .. rking-on-a-new-version-for-future-foldables.html
Published in Automotive and Transportation on Thursday, July 17th 2025 at 18:41 GMT by yahoo.com🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source
In a recent interview, a Samsung exec confirmed that the company is working towards new S Pen technology that could feature in future foldable phones, after removing stylus compatibility with the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The Galaxy Z Fold series has long been celebrated for its cutting-edge design and versatility. Each iteration has brought improvements in durability, display quality, and performance, addressing early criticisms about the fragility of foldable screens and hinges. The Z Fold 6, the most recent model, was lauded for its refined design, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and integration of Samsung’s latest software optimizations. It seemed logical that Samsung would build on this momentum with a Galaxy Z Fold 7, potentially introducing even more advanced features such as an under-display camera for a seamless front screen, improved battery life, or a thinner, lighter form factor. Yet, according to the latest reports circulating in the tech community, Samsung may have decided to ditch the Z Fold 7 entirely, opting instead to explore alternative form factors or focus on other product lines.
One of the primary reasons speculated for this surprising move is the evolving competitive landscape of the foldable phone market. While Samsung initially dominated this niche, other manufacturers like Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, and Huawei have entered the fray with their own foldable devices, often at more competitive price points or with unique design innovations. Huawei, for instance, has made significant strides in the Chinese market with its Mate X series, offering foldables that rival Samsung’s in terms of build quality and functionality. This increased competition may have prompted Samsung to reassess its strategy, potentially leading to a decision to pivot away from the traditional book-style foldable design of the Z Fold in favor of something more experimental or cost-effective. Some industry analysts believe that Samsung might be working on a new type of foldable device, such as a tri-fold model or a rollable display, which could offer a fresh take on the concept of flexible screens.
Another factor contributing to the rumored cancellation of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the issue of market saturation and consumer demand. While foldable phones were once seen as the future of mobile technology, their adoption has been slower than anticipated. High price tags, concerns about durability, and a lack of compelling use cases for the average consumer have limited the mainstream appeal of foldables. Even though Samsung has worked to lower the entry cost with models like the Z Flip, which targets a more style-conscious audience, the Z Fold remains a premium device with a price that puts it out of reach for many. Reports suggest that Samsung may be reevaluating whether continuing to iterate on the Z Fold series is worth the investment, especially if sales figures for the Z Fold 6 did not meet expectations. Instead, the company might be redirecting resources toward other areas, such as its core Galaxy S series or emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR) and wearable devices.
The potential discontinuation of the Z Fold 7 also raises questions about Samsung’s long-term vision for foldable technology. For years, the company has positioned itself as a leader in this space, often showcasing concept devices at trade shows and events to demonstrate the possibilities of flexible displays. The Z Fold series has been a flagship not just in terms of hardware but also as a symbol of Samsung’s commitment to innovation. Abandoning the line, even temporarily, could signal a shift in priorities or a lack of confidence in the foldable market’s growth potential. On the other hand, it could also be a strategic pause, allowing Samsung to refine its approach and come back with a groundbreaking device that redefines what a foldable phone can be. Some rumors point to the possibility of a “Galaxy Z Fold Ultra” or a similar premium variant that could replace the standard Z Fold lineup, offering even more advanced features to justify the high cost.
Consumer reactions to the news have been mixed, with many expressing disappointment over the potential loss of a beloved product line. Online forums and social media platforms are filled with discussions about what this means for Samsung’s foldable future, with some users lamenting the lack of a direct successor to the Z Fold 6. Loyal Z Fold users have come to rely on the device for productivity, using the large inner display for tasks like document editing, video conferencing, and gaming. The absence of a Z Fold 7 could leave these users without a clear upgrade path, potentially pushing them to explore competing foldable devices from other brands. At the same time, there are those who see this as an opportunity for Samsung to innovate beyond the current foldable paradigm, perhaps introducing a device that addresses some of the lingering pain points of foldables, such as the visible crease on the screen or the bulkiness of the design when folded.
Beyond the immediate implications for consumers, the rumored cancellation of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could have broader ripple effects across the tech industry. Samsung’s decisions often set trends for other manufacturers, and a step back from the foldable market might discourage smaller players from investing in similar technology. Conversely, it could open the door for competitors to fill the gap, especially in markets where foldables are gaining traction, such as China and parts of Europe. Additionally, Samsung’s focus on alternative technologies or form factors could accelerate the development of next-generation devices, such as rollable phones or hybrid gadgets that combine elements of smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The tech community is keenly watching Samsung’s next moves, as they could provide insight into where the mobile industry is headed over the next few years.
While the exact reasons behind Samsung’s apparent decision to ditch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 remain speculative, the news has sparked a broader conversation about the challenges and opportunities in the foldable phone market. For now, fans of the Z Fold series can only hope that Samsung has something equally exciting up its sleeve, whether that’s a reimagined foldable device or an entirely new category of product. The company’s history of innovation suggests that it is unlikely to abandon the foldable space entirely, but rather, it may be taking a calculated risk to redefine it. Until official confirmation comes from Samsung, the tech world will continue to speculate on what the future holds for one of the most ambitious smartphone lines in recent memory. Whether this marks the end of the Z Fold as we know it or the beginning of something even more revolutionary, only time will tell. For now, the absence of a Z Fold 7 leaves a void in the foldable market, one that both Samsung and its competitors will be eager to address in the coming months and years.
