Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 reportedly doesn’t feature built-in S Pen slot
Samsung Galaxy Fold series comes with S Pen support but just supporting S-Pen is not enough, users also need built-in space to store this S-Pen similar to Galaxy S22 Ultra as it is not possible to carry separate S-Pen everywhere. Also, there are chances of losing it.
Samsung users and foldable fans were expecting that at least the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 could come with built-in storage for an S-Pen. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The device supports S-Pen but there is no slot for it (via tipster Ice Universe).

Further, the tipster claims that the forthcoming phone will be thinner and more compact than Galaxy Z Fold 3, which should improve its usability. We hope the company didn’t compromise with the battery for the thin design.
Besides, a recent information by tipster Mukul Sharma revealed that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4’s S Pen has finally entered mass production in several Eurasian countries. Although the details are minimal, it’s impressive to see that there’s an S Pen specifically for this foldable phone.
Other than the S-Pen, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 could face a huge camera upgrade over its predecessor. It has been confirmed that it will have a 10MP selfie camera similar to the Galaxy S22 phones, while the rear camera capabilities will also inspire by Galaxy S22.
Further, there’s of course no official clarification on the launch timeline of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. However, if the previous release schedule is an indication, it could enter the markets in August.

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.
According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability
The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.
Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.
One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,
- What happened?
- [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
- In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
- What best describes your situation?
- What is on fire?
- Are there weapons involved?
Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
