Recently, Samsung officially launched the high-end phone line Galaxy S24. Now, all attention is focused on the next generation of folding phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, expected to launch later this year. Previously, we received some information about the more affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6 version. Now, a new report has mentioned that one of the differences of this product is that the device will not support the S Pen.

Samsung plans to remove the S Pen on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to cut costs

According to information revealed recently, Samsung plans to release a second version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a cheaper price later this year. Although the cost was not disclosed, we also know the differences between these two folding phone versions.

According to ETNews, Samsung is expected to remove S Pen support from the low-cost Galaxy Z Fold 6 version. This isn't simply about getting rid of a piece of phone software, but also because equipping the S Pen requires setting up a lot of special digitizers. Therefore, removing this feature has helped the company save a lot of hardware costs.

In addition, the company also intends to make changes to components and performance to create a folding phone product at a cheaper price. Perhaps, it will be equipped with a processor with weaker performance, less memory capacity and use cheaper camera hardware.
