Though, as disclosed by Samsung, it is seeking to launch its next-generation foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 S-Pen this year. One of the most interesting leaks about the new device is the redesign of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 S-Pen that improves it and the tip of the pen for better writing. Samsung made a change shortly after making the decision to remove Bluetooth and the built-in battery from the S25 Ultra’s stylus.
In this article, let’s look closer at the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s S-Pen changes and what we can anticipate from Samsung’s approaching foldable unique.

A leak by @PandaFlashPro (X) says that the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s S-Pen will be thicker than the one that shipped with the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Some of this could be changes to the ergonomics helping the stylus hold comfortably and use for a longer period.
It is not known yet as to what details the body will be thicker for, but it could be to allow more hardware components or something of an improved writing mechanism. Be that as it may, it’s yet to be seen whether Samsung will add some new technology to the stylus or if this is just for a better hold of the pen.
Improved Tip for a Better Writing Experience
A new tip for S-Pen seems to be another important leak that a new tip will offer a more natural writing experience and provide more precision than the old one. This could mean improvements in:
- Pressure sensitivity for smoother strokes
- Friction adjustments for a paper-like feel
- A larger dose of the patient data for drawing and note taking.
Since the S-Pen technology has been refined continuously by Samsung, this update could make digital writing more seamless than ever.
Production Timeline and Expected Launch
According to reports, the production of the new S-Pen will start in June, just a few months before Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event in July. It seems likely that Samsung will bring together the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 if it sticks to its tradition of Galaxy Z rollouts.
Leaks serve as a look into the new S-Pen’s design, but Samsung’s reveal of the device’s specifications and features won’t be held until the company makes a declaration.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Expected Specifications
Apart from the rejigged S-Pen, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to ship with various hardware upgrades. Here’s what will be based on leaks and past reports:
- Screen: Featuring, a bit brighter screen with peak brightness of 2 600 nits for better visibility outdoors.
- Performance: The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy gives you more performance.
- Memory & Storage: 12GB of RAM with 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options.
- Expected to run on Android 15 based One UI 7.1 (software).
- Camera & Hinge: Potential improvements in the main camera, along with a stronger hinge for better durability.
- Battery: Likely to retain the 4,400mAh capacity with the same charging speed as the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
While these specifications are incremental, the better S-Pen could be among the most noticeable when it comes to daily use for Galaxy Z Fold users.
Conclusion
The change of the S pen for Galaxy Z Fold 7 S-Pen indicates Samsung heeds users’ feedback and is improving its foldable tech. For people who rely on using the S Pen for their jobs, a thicker, better S Pen would make writing and drawing more pleasant.
And as we get closer to the supposed July launch, more leaks and official information are likely to spill out. That said, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 S-Pen is still one the most anticipated foldable devices of 2025, owing to the S-Pen redesign.
