Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 might be first foldable to ship with S Pen slot
Even though Samsung added S Pen support to the Galaxy Z Fold lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 last year, the company did not provide an integrated S Pen slot in the device. As a result, consumers had to buy the Samsung Official S Pen Case to carry the S Pen Fold variant with their devices.
Moreover, Samsung did not ship this device with the S Pen Fold variant, making the whole package a bit costly. However, Samsung now plans to introduce the integrated S Pen in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Samsung to introduce integrated S Pen in Galaxy Z Fold 4
According to a recent report by TheElec, Samsung’s plans say that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will come with an integrated S Pen slot. Furthermore, the report states that the device will have a 7.56-inch foldable display and a 6.19-inch cover screen. This means it’s likely to have a front impression with a 7.55-inch foldable display and a 6.2-inch cover screen, making the integrated S Pen slot an impressive doing.
Likewise, the report suggests that Samsung will use electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology to attach the digitizer to the OLED panel of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and, therefore, eliminate the need to provide a built-in battery on the S Pen. Since Samsung has already integrated the S Pen in the Galaxy S22 Ultra and plans to do the same in the Galaxy Z Fold 4, a recovery of the Galaxy Note now seems unbelievable.
The report shares some details about the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4, which will feature a 6.7-inch foldable display and a 1.9-inch cover screen. This is only a small improvement over the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which comes with a 6.7-inch foldable display and a 1.83-inch cover screen.

Samsung Galaxy S25, 25 Plus and S25 Ultra: Here’s what could change in colors
The Galaxy S25 Series is gearing up for the launch and Samsung may bring some colors to help you pick a colorful Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, or S25 Ultra unit.
Each year, Samsung upgrades its flagship smartphone design philosophy. Though the outlook remains identical but it’s the color that we’re talking about.
The Korean tech company used to have two flagships before it removed Note devices. It was replaced by Foldables (Galaxy Z Fold and Flip). Now, it offers the regular S series and Note series in one lineup.
The two standard phones share the S series’ handy performance and slim architecture. On the other hand, the Ultra is the new Note with a large screen and an S Pen. With this merger, the South Korean phone maker adopted a hybrid design.
Earlier this year, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series made this difference distinctive between the standard, Plus, and Ultra variant. This is not only about performance but also color and materials.
Here’s the composition for the existing three S-series models:
S24 and S24 Plus
- Frame – Armor Aluminum Frame
- Front – Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2
- Back Panel – Corning Gorilla Glass Victurs 2
S24 Ultra
- Frame – Titanium Frame
- Front – Corning Gorilla Armor
- Back Panel – Corning Gorilla Glass Victurs 2
With this lineup, Samsung introduced Titanium for the Ultra model while keeping the standard and Plus on titanium. The material shift also varied colors in these models.
Here are color options for three models:
S24
- Amber Yellow
- Cobalt Violet
- Onyx Black
- Marble Gray
- Sapphire Blue
- Jade Green
- Sandstone Orange
S24 Plus
- Cobalt Violet
- Onyx Black
- Sapphire Blue
- Jade Green
- Sandstone Orange
S24 Ultra
- Titanium Gray
- Titanium Black
- Titanium Violet
- Titanium Yellow
- Titanium Blue
- Titanium Green
- Titanium Orange
Based on a few new changes in the front and the frame, these colors have also brought a fresh look to devices. However, new colors heading our way with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series.
New Colors
Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young has shared some colors for this year’s Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup.
S25
- Moon Night Blue
- Silver Shadow
- Sparkling Blue
- Sparkling Green
S25 Plus
- Midnight Black
- Moon Night Blue

- Sparkling Green
25 Ultra
- Titanium Black
- Titanium Blue
- Titanium Gray
- Titanium Silver
These may appear less than the S24 series but we could see additional colors within online exclusive models.
Ross also confirmed that these colors are only related to the launch devices. Last year’s titanium color had a soft tone but these colors might bring a dark shade. Ross Young is profound in his field and his information has been accurate in the past.
Galaxy S25 Release Date
