Samsung Doubles UTG Thickness for S Pen on Z Fold 3
The Elec, says Samsung may switch the technology used in its S Pen stylus in order to get it working with the Fold series – from electromagnetic resonance (EMR) tech to active electrostatic solution (AES) tech. There isn't a huge difference between EMR and AES. From a manufacturing point of view, EMR is cheaper but has apparently been difficult for Samsung to integrate into its flexible screens. Samsung is also reportedly looking at making its ultra-thin glass (UTG) twice as thick on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 – 60 micrometers instead of 30 micrometers, in order to help it stand up to the prodding of a stylus. We have previously reported that Samsung is considering phasing out the Galaxy Note series emphasizing the Galaxy Z Fold series instead, and if that is actually happening then S Pen support on the Z Fold 3 makes sense.
