Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4’s S Pen mass production begins
Although Samsung added S Pen support to the Galaxy Z Fold lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 last year, the company did not provide an integrated S Pen slot in the device. As a result, users had to purchase the official Samsung S Pen Case to carry the S Pen Fold Edition with them.
Also, Samsung did not ship this device with the S Pen Fold variant, making the whole package a bit expensive. However, Samsung is now planning to launch the integrated S Pen in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Galaxy Z Fold 4’s S Pen mass production begins
A recent tweet by a well-known tipster Mukul Sharma suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s S Pen has finally entered mass production. According to him, the new S Pen has started production in several Eurasian countries. The details are minimal, but it’s interesting that there’s an S Pen specifically for this foldable phone.
Looking ahead to the recent report, Samsung is really looking to keep a separate space for the S Pen in the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Doing so would undoubtedly be a technical achievement.
To do this, Samsung will have to make some compromises to make it fit. The new foldable is set to launch in August of this year, so there is still some time left. Till then, we can wait and watch what will be the final glance of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4.

OnePlus Open 2 is reportedly delayed to 2025 in favor of a fruitful chipset upgrade. Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in July this year, whereas its toughest competitor seemingly pushed it to 2025, skipping a release later this year.
X tipster @That_Kartikey claims that the OnePlus Open 2 may not be coming this year. Oppo’s strategic foldables: Find N5 series is also reportedly halted. Another fairly reliable tipster @chunvn8888 revealed that the launch is scheduled for next year instead.
The next OPPO and OnePlus foldables would be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. Therefore, a delayed launch would result in a pretty beneficial upgrade.
OnePlus debuted its first foldable smartphone in late last year. It is a pretty powerful foldable handset, featuring pro-grade specifications. In 2023, it was the first time that Samsung faced a double-sided attack from Google and OnePlus in its foldable business.
Scheduled for next year instead, uses 8 Gen 4

While OnePlus delaying its foldable product, Samsung has also entered a review of the affordable Fold plan. The rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE might not be released this year due to many reasons. Meanwhile, the Z Flip 7 FE may be launched alongside regular models next year.

Google is working on another upgrade for the Circle to Search feature. In an APK Teardown, AndroidAuthority discovered that Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel users will be able to use the Circle to Search feature as a barcode scanner.
The latest Beta version of the Google app (15.19.45.29.arm64) has evidence of the existence of barcode scanner ability for Circle to Search. Currently, when you circle a barcode from your screen, it just opens the barcode from Google Search rather than scanning the circled one.
Seeing the popularity of the feature, Google is continuously exploring new features. Earlier, the company added a translation capability to enhance the user experience. Notably, Circle to Search also supports the text field so you don’t have to spend much effort in searching.
You’ll notice the string has the word “omnient” right before “barcode_action.” It’s worth noting that the barcode scanner function isn’t working in the latest Beta. While the existence is confirmed, a public rollout is expected to kick off shortly.
Earlier this year, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series debuted the Circle to Search feature developed by Google. So far, several Samsung Galaxy devices have received the epic way of searching apart from all Tensor-powered Google Pixel devices.
