Summary
At 4.1 mm unfolded, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra becomes thinner than the Fold 8 Ultra, underscoring the company’s push to make foldables more portable.
That slimmer profile came from removing the S Pen digitizer, leaving the new model without stylus support despite the feature’s importance for note-taking, drawing and document editing.
Samsung is now researching thinner, more flexible digitizer technology that could restore S Pen compatibility without adding bulk to future foldable devices.
User demand for stylus support remains a key input for development, highlighting the broader industry challenge of balancing ultra-thin design with premium productivity features.
