The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the first foldable device to work with an S Pen; however, compatibility is limited to the S Pen Fold Edition and the S Pen Pro. These accessories offers the same functionality as a regular S Pen but have a softer, spring-loaded tip to protect the foldable display from scratches and dents.
UTG has made Samsung's foldable displays more resistant than the competition's, but even so, these panels are more susceptible to damage from external forces than rigid, Gorilla Glass-covered screens.
Samsung kept improving UTG with every Z Fold generation, and the company will reportedly do the same for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4. As per a new rumor (via Naver), the tech giant is considering marketing this upgraded glass substrate under the ‘Super UTG' brand.
The recent rumor doesn't mention exactly how much more resilient the new generation of ‘Super UTG' will be over the existing solution. So, whether or not the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will work with regular S Pens remains to be seen. But regardless, the Z Fold 4's foldable panel should have a higher tolerance to scratches than ever before.
