With the Galaxy Z Flip 3, Samsung's clamshell finally moved beyond proof of concept and became a mainstream product. Improved durability, attractive design, and a more palatable price tag helped the Galaxy Z Flip 3 become the most popular foldable phone on the market. The latest Galaxy Z Flip 4 hopes to repeat the same magic, bringing several important upgrades such as a more durable exterior and hinge, improved cameras, a more powerful chipset, and a larger battery with fast charging support. But does the new clamshell support the S Pen stylus input similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy S22 Ultra?

With the Galaxy S22 series launch earlier this year, Samsung finally put its popular Galaxy Note lineup to rest. That's because the company has included all of the unique software and hardware features from the Galaxy Note lineup in the new Galaxy S22 Ultra. The top-of-the-line flagship is a spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and it features a similar design, a built-in S Pen, and all the software features you'd expect to see on a flagship Galaxy Note device. These include features that let you easily jot down notes using the included S Pen.

Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 3 last year, which had a digitizer to support stylus input from an S Pen. However, there was no slot inside the phone for storing an S Pen (like you'd find on the Galaxy S22 Ultra or Note20), so you had to carry it around separately. There was speculation that the next Galaxy Fold might fix that, but now it seems that might not happen after all.

The Samsung Galaxy S Ultra lineup officially succeeds the Galaxy Note lineup, meaning that the S Pen is here to stay. In fact, we can even hope to see Samsung's foldables come with S Pen support and even an integrated S Pen if space allows for it. The Galaxy Note series has its fans who know all about the S Pen and its features. But an integrated S Pen is still new for the S series, and Samsung provides a fair few features that take advantage of the active stylus. Here are the features and functions of the S Pen on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung's new Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most interesting phone out of the S22 lineup mainly because it's the first Galaxy S phone with an integrated S Pen, marking it as a successor to the Galaxy Note lineup. The Galaxy S21 Ultra from last year only had support for the stylus, but no place to store it. The new phone changes that with a slightly wider body to accommodate an S Pen. We suggest you check out our Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra review to know what we make of its design after using it for a couple of days.

For years, the S Pen was the key feature of Samsung's Galaxy Note series of smartphones, and it was the whole reason behind the Note name. But in 2021, Samsung discontinued the Galaxy Note series, and instead, we got S Pen support in the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but it was half-baked. With the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung is finally building the S Pen back into the phone, but does the Galaxy S22 series also support it?

Samsung introduced the S Pen with its Galaxy Note smartphone back in 2011. It was revolutionary for a lot of people who wanted a large smartphone with a stylus to either take notes or just scribble away. While a stylus used to be pretty common with resistive touchscreen phones some time back, capacitive screens meant you could use your finger instead of an additional tool. However, Samsung brought back the stylus with a unique take by using a Wacom digitizer for precision mapping.
