Samsung is months away from launching its next-generation Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphone. Yet reports have detailed the specifications and the price that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 successor is tipped to come with. Now, a new report talks about a critical feature that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will sport: S-Pen support.

Display Supply Chain Consultants and DisplaySearch's Ross Young says that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 will feature support for Samsung's S-Pen stylus. However, the way this support is included will be different from the one that is expected to be available with the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

As per the reports, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will feature support for S-Pen stylus but it won't have any extra space, like the one that is available in the company's Galaxy Note series. However, in case of the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung is making space for the stylus.

My Xmas leaks - Galaxy Fold 3 - main display shrinks from 7.59" to 7.55". Cover display goes from 6.23" to 6.21". Need more space for S Pen.
Galaxy Z Flip 3/Flip Lite - grows slightly from 6.67" to 6.70". 120Hz and LTPO on the Z Flip 3.

He said that the main display of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be shrunk to 7.55-inch from Galaxy Z Fold 2's 7.59-inches, while the cover display will be shrunk to 6.21-inches from Galaxy Z Fold 2's 6.23-inches to make room for S-Pen.

In addition to that, Young says that the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip Lite will get a slightly bigger 6.70-inches display along with a 120Hz display. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will come with LTPO technology.
