S Pen support is coming to 'additional devices categories'

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra won’t be the last new device to support the company’s S Pen stylus. In a statement to The Verge, Samsung mobile chief TM Roh confirmed the company is working on supporting additional devices in the future.

“We’ve made the bold decision to expand the S Pen experience to Galaxy S21 Ultra, and plan to expand the S Pen experience across additional device categories in the future,” Roh told the website.

The executive didn’t go on to elaborate the exact “device categories” he had in mind, but given that you can already use the S Pen in conjunction with some of the company’s phones and tablets, stylus support for its foldables seems like a natural fit. And as The Verge points out, Roh had already hinted at that possibility in the past. “The S Pen has always been a well-loved feature of the Galaxy Note. And we are happy to hear that people want it so much, they even want it on the Fold,” he said during a Q&A last year dedicated to the Note 20 and Galaxy Z Fold 2.
