minus-squarecinoreus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·2 days agoThe latest fold doesn’t. I double checked it, fold is now too thin to have S pen inside the body. And it likely isn’t going to be supported in future generations either.
minus-squareJakeroxs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoThey’ve never integrated the pen with the body afaik, wife and I had the 2/3/4/5,generally we just got a case with the Spen holder. Still though they function on the inner screen is my point, it is supported functionally. The outer screen tho doesn’t work with the pen. Personally I went to a Pixel when I started having hinge issues on my 4, have become increasingly anti-Google so got graphene and homelabbed up.
