Last Update date : Sep 14. 2023

The Galaxy Z Fold5 has introduced S Pen support, adding a new dimension to its capabilities. This feature prompts us to consider the types of S Pen compatible with the device and how this support differs from previous models. In this article, we'll explore these aspects, shedding light on the enhanced user experience the S Pen brings to the Galaxy Z Fold5.

What types of S Pens can be used with the Galaxy Z Fold5? What is the difference from other models in terms of S Pen support?

  • S Pen Fold edition for Z fold 3/4
  •  S Pen Pro
  • S Pen Fold edition for Galaxy Z Fold5
  •  S Pen of Galaxy S Ultra, Note, and Tab series cannot be used with Galaxy Z Fold5 (Operating frequency is different for fold display protection)

How should I use the S Pen with the Galaxy Z Fold5?

The S Pen may be used only on the main screen, the same as the previous model. Because of the characteristics of the foldable panel, caution is required to protect the panel when writing with more than a certain amount of pen pressure. The pen tip is also more rounded (0.3R → 0.7R) than those on the S Pens for Note and Ultra.

The S Pen cannot be stored inside the device. Are there any accessories that can make carrying the S Pen easier?

The Galaxy Z Fold5 S Pen Fold edition's thickness has been lowered, and as a result, the thickness of the S Pen case has also been reduced.
The Fold4 was a module, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold5 is an S Pen-only cover.

Are there any changes between the S Pen and the previous model?

The thickness of the Galaxy Z Fold5 S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Case has been significantly reduced. Wireless charging is possible even with the pen cover attached.
