Samsung Could Deduct S Pen To Make Galaxy Z Fold 6 Cheaper
Samsung Galaxy foldable smartphones are the flagship ones, usually expensive. Now, to make them affordable, it appears that Samsung is working on a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold 6, but it will lack S Pen support.
Samsung is gearing up for the next generation of foldables —Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, reports from ETNews suggest that Samsung is gearing up for the affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6, which will not support S Pen input.
However, a price reduction will cause a deduction in facilities. The more affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6 may not support S pen input. This time, multiple leaks and rumors are waving around even before the Galaxy launch event. In the previous report, it was also rumored that Samsung could launch a Fan Edition of the next generation’s foldable – Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE.
This will be the primary difference between the devices, the second of which is to be named an “Ultra.” Although Samsung has ruled the foldable market since debuting the initial Galaxy Fold back in 2019, in the US, other foldable devices such as Pixel Fold, OnePlus Open, and Motorola Razr series put up solid arguments against Samsung’s lineup. Noticeably, the situation is pretty dire for Samsung in the other markets.
As per display-focused analysts at DSCC, in China, it is revealed that Samsung has lost its topmost position, with Huawei taking the top slot. Out of the top 10 foldables sold in the region, this time Samsung was in the lowest four slots, with devices from Huawei, Oppo, Honor, and Xiaomi having the better-selling devices.
A new collaboration in the market is that Samsung Electronics Italia is partnering with Seletti just to design special edition cases for the Galaxy S24 series smartphones for their classy looks.
The Galaxy S24 series is the latest flagship series from Samsung, which broke the re-order records of its predecessors just within a month. Now, to slay the look of the device’s case, Samsung Electronics Italia is shaking hands with Seletti to offer the cases with stunning designs that will use NFC technology.
Seletti is an Italian brand that combines design with pop art. The special edition cases for the Galaxy S24 series smartphone will use NFC technology, which permits data to be transferred wirelessly between devices.
This special edition will feature a black and white patterned card coupled with a unique design by Seletti. This card will personalize the exterior of the phone as well as unlock a dynamic lock screen animation on the device that matches the card’s design. The new cases will surely create a balanced and stylish look for both the front and back of the phone.
Paolo Bagnoli, Head of Marketing and Retail of the Mobile Experience division of Samsung Electronics Italia, stated, “The creativity of the Seletti brand, capable of reinventing contemporary living and populating it with ever new forms and contents, makes our premium devices even more unique and exclusive.”
The Seletti x Samsung cards are available on the online website of the brand Samsung.com online shop, on Amazon, and in selected consumer electronics stores for 21.90 euros, while the FlipSuit Case is available for 49.90 euros.
Samsung has bigger plans to expand its smart wearable family beyond expectations, as Galaxy Glasses are next in line.
Samsung, apart from the forthcoming sixth-generation foldable Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 Galaxy Ringdevices, which are supposed to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked Event 2024 in July, is also busy expanding the wearable area by debuting a brand new smart glasses.
Back in 2023, Samsung had already trademarked the name for its smart glasses, Galaxy Glasses, from which reports regarding this are blowing. And now the recent reports are unveiling that Samsung has now filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization for its smart glasses.
It is being speculated by Patently Apple that the patent displays the potential design of smart glasses by Samsung along with its charging case. Although the design of the glasses does not appear to be too different from the usual spectacles, For more details, the patent reveals some technical details about it.
The patent is revealing that the lenses are housed in their default place, but the left rim of them has magnetic connection points that will permit the glasses to charge while placed on their cover. The batteries are placed at each temple tip. Curiously, the patent makes no mention of cameras or sensors—components generally expected in XR devices.
Probably the patent will focus simply on the physical design. Samsung might file separate subsequent patents covering the more complex technical aspects of an invention. For now, nothing more has been revealed; the patent only reveals some insights, and it’s too early to say if Samsung will launch this product.
However, Samsung has not unveiled anything regarding the smartphone officially yet, but it is expected that some news from Tipster and the brand will get revealed soon.
