The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will feature S Pen support, South Korean media reported Monday. This will make it only the second smartphone to offer this capability outside of Samsung’s Galaxy Note series of phones. The first one being the Galaxy S21 Ultra released less than a month ago, following Samsung’s official confirmation last year that it would be bringing S Pen support to devices outside the Galaxy Note lineup.

This is a developing story…
